Abstract
An additional separate wager is added to a conventional Twenty-One game. The player is wagering on whether the dealer will either bust on his hand or achieve a hand count of exactly 21. The Twenty-One game is played out according to the conventional method of play of the game and the normal winning and losing hands are paid or collected by the dealer. The dealer then reconciles the additional separate wagers based on whether the dealer has either busted or achieved a hand count of exactly 21 during the play of the dealer's hand. This additional wager can be paid according to predetermined odds, such as one-to-one odds or others, as determined by the house.
