Each of the wagering areas carries three circular indicia therein. The game is started by a player placing checks representative of a High Card wager, a Black Jack wager and a Poker wager, respectively, upon the three indicia of a wagering area. The player and the dealer are each dealt a first card face up. The player wins the high card wager when the rank of the player's first card is higher than the rank of the dealer's first card.
