US Patent 9336657 Side bet option for blackjack

In additional to a conventional bet in Blackjack, the player also may make a side bet. The game may be played on a video gaming machine or on-line. For the side bet game, if the player obtained the card combination of either 6:7, 6:8, or 7:8, in any order and any suit, on the two cards initially dealt, the player wins 10 times the side bet. The Blackjack game then continues in the normal manner until completed. If the player receives 6:7:8 with three cards, the player also wins an enhanced prize for the side bet. If, in the next Blackjack game, the player also obtains either 6:7, 6:8, or 7:8, an enhance side bet prize is awarded.
