Abstract

A card game called 'Pan 9 Gold' is disclosed. Pan 9 Gold is preferably played with between six and ten decks of cards with the sevens, eights, nines, and tens removed, although other numbers of decks and decks of different composition may be employed. Players play against each other rather than the casino or card room. Hence the game is not a banking game. The players are trying to reach a hand value of 9 or as close to nine as possible. Aces are worth one, face cards are worth zero, and other cards are worth their face value. Hands with a value greater than nine have their value reduced by ten until the value falls between zero and nine. In Pan 9 Gold, the player wagers against a designated player 'Dealer'. The designated Dealer is rotated throughout the game. The casino or card room collects a fixed amount from each player for each hand. Each player is dealt three cards, all face down. Each player has the option to take one more card or stand. The Dealer has the option to take one card, and if the Dealer takes a card, the Dealer has the option to take an additional card. The hand of the Dealer is compared to that of each player in turn and the hand with the higher value wins. The player wins in the case of a tie.
