Abstract
In a game, performable in a gaming house, the winner, as between a banker player and the other players, is determined by assigning a value of one or eleven points to aces or special pieces, between zero and one point to face pieces, and face value to numeric pieces. A nominal value between 7 and eleven and one half is established. If the value of the banker player's hand is less than the nominal value and the value of another player's hand is greater than the banker player's hand but less than or equal to the nominal value, the other player is declared the winner. If the value of the banker player's hand is more than the nominal value and the value of the other player's hand is less than the value of said banker player's hand, the other player is declared the winner. The holder of a single special piece is declared the winner as against all other combinations. The banker player is declared the winner under all other conditions.
