Abstract: A casino card gaming method utilizes a conventional fifty-two card deck and begins by first determining the players for a given round. Players may select to be eligible for a bonus card. The individual players' hands, a set of common cards and a bonus card for players eligible for the bonus card are dealt. Players which continue through the round determine whether to play the hand as dealt or to utilize the common cards. Players utilizing the common cards discard a number of cards from their hands equal to the number of common cards. The relative ranking of the final hands for the players is determined with the relative ranking based upon the statistical likelihood of obtaining predetermined combinations of cards. The relative ranking accounts for the use of the set of common cards and the bonus card.
