A method, apparatus, and computer readable storage to implement a wagering system such as blackjack. The system can be implemented using electronic hardware such as an electronic digital table, an internet casino, video gaming terminals/machines, and any other known electronic system. An algorithm is used by a processor such that upon a dealer bust, the cards in the dealer's hand are reversed and the dealer's total is recomputed using the same dealer's cards but in reverse order from the order originally dealt to the dealer. If the reverse dealer total is in a set of preset totals then instead of busting, the dealer is deemed to have made the reverse dealer total. This increases the house advantage and provides functionality for the game to offer an additional player advantage over the standard game, such as enabling the player to view the dealer's initial two cards before the player makes any decision as to how to play the player's hand.
