Patent US 6,779,795

A method of playing a wagering game includes providing a modified deck of playing cards from which all of the picture cards have been removed. Each player places a wager and is dealt four cards which are set into a two card front hand and a two card back hand. A player/banker sequentially compares both front hands and back hands with each player. The ranking of hands is (1) highest pair, and (2) LSD of the numerical total of the two cards being closest to nine. Several special sequentially applied rules result in the player/banker or the other player winning the wager regardless of the ranking of the two card front and back hands.
