Abstract

See full text

One embodiment provides a Blackjack game where one or more players play against a dealer. The Blackjack game employs a designated set of cards, which includes one or more designated decks of cards. In addition to standard card symbols of rank and suit, each card in each designated deck of cards includes one of a plurality of secondary symbols associated with a secondary game. Each player makes a primary game wager on a play of the Blackjack game. Each player also has the option of placing an optional second wager. For each player who placed the optional second wager, if that player's hand in the play of the Blackjack game includes a designated outcome, the player accumulates one or more of the secondary symbols indicated by the cards in the player's hand. In a next play of the Blackjack game, regardless of whether that player makes the optional second wager, if any of the secondary symbols listed on the cards in the dealer's hand have a designated relationship to any of the secondary symbols that the player previously accumulated, the player wins a secondary award. The player can continue accumulating secondary symbols in each play of the Blackjack game. In certain embodiments, if the player loses a play of the Blackjack game, after any secondary awards are paid out, the player loses one, more or all of the previously accumulated secondary symbols.
