Abstract: A method and apparatus for playing card wagering games that enables players to select the playing card game to be played for a particular wagering round from among multiple playing card game options. Where different decks of playing cards are required for certain of the optional playing card games, a multi-deck card holder is provided, permitting a dealer to make an immediate selection of the appropriate playing cards upon selection of the playing card game by a player at that table. Upon the conclusion of one wagering round, selection of the next playing card game is made by the same or a different player, and the play continues with the selection of playing card games entirely at the option of the players.
