International Classification:

A63F001/00

US Classification:

273292000, 273303000

Abstract:

A casino card game that can be played by any amount of players, and one bank, with the only skill required being the knowledge of addition and recognition of a standard deck of playing cards. The game is substantially similar to “Pan 9,” with the object being to obtain a three-card hand with a sum total of nine or the closest thereto, and the players win if they beat the bank's hand. The game differs from “Pan 9” in that when the initial cards are dealt, four cards are dealt to each player and four cards are dealt to the bank, and no further cards may be dealt. Each player then must choose three of his four cards to create a sum total closest to nine. The remaining fourth card becomes the “kicker.” If a player's hand has a sum total greater than the bank's hand, the player wins. The kicker is not counted in the hand, and the kicker is used as a tie-breaking card, in the event of a player's hand being equal in value to the bank's hand. In the event that the bank's hand and a player's hand are equal, the greater valued kicker card wins.
