Abstract
A method for playing a card game is provided, utilizing at least four standard decks of playing cards ranked from low to high in the order of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen, King and Ace and a playing surface comprising the steps of a player placing a wager, a dealer dealing two cards face up to the player, the player placing a second wager and the dealer then dealing a third card face up to the same player, wherein if the third card is of a rank between the first two cards, the dealer pays the player an equal amount on the first and second wagers according to odds posted on the playing surface. If the first two cards dealt are of equal rank, the player wins automatically according to posted odds. If the first two cards dealt are of equal rank and that rank is Jack, Queen, King or Ace, the player automatically wins according to posted odds and is dealt a third card which, if of equal rank with the first two cards, increases the player's winnings without risk, according to posted odds.
