Abstract

A method for playing a wagering game whose outcome is determined by randomly received symbols is provided. Initially, symbols such as cards having a numerical value of one, two, or three as well as a designation as one of two suits are supplied. A wager by at least one player is then made on the attaining of a net total of a hand of received symbols. The net total of a hand is equal to a gross total of added numerical values of the symbols of one suit less a gross total of added numerical values of the symbols of the other suit. Where there are at least two players, the net total of each hand dealt is determined and the net totals of the hands are compared to determine which net total is closest to a predetermined winning total of seven without exceeding the winning total. In addition, there are also no value cards having no suit which are dealt. The play can include the presenting to each player of an optional hit card after the first three cards are received. If desired, an additional wager can be made by a receiving player that the receiving player will receive at least two of the first three cards of a selected suit. Optionally, another additional wager can be made that the receiving player net total will be equal to that of the dealer. Alternately, the symbols are displayed on a video display screen as part of an electronic game device.
