Benefits of technology

[0007]Successful Blackjack variants such as 21+3 add excitement to conventional Blackjack by providing players with an opportunity for a high payout without disrupting the conventional rules with which the players are familiar. The 21+3 game combines the play of Blackjack with a 3-card poker wager. The concepts and playing modes described herein combine the play of a game utilizing a ‘modulo 10’ count system, such as according to the principles of Baccarat, with a game utilizing a conventional count system, such as Blackjack.

Problems solved by technology

Many casinos, however, are reluctant to further reduce the number of Blackjack tables because of the inherent game attractiveness to both players and casinos.
Although Blackjack variants typically provide additional waging options, except for 21+3, these games tend to either negatively alter the flow of the Blackjack game or add very little game dynamics.

In one operating mode, the first game component is Blackjack, and a wager on the second game component is resolved on the player initial two-card hand based on a modulo 10 count system consistent with the principles of Baccarat.
