Abstract: Methods of and apparatuses for playing a card game. In one method, the dealer's hand contains a specified card, such as e.g. the ace of spades or, e.g. the queen of clubs, that is displayed face up. From the remainder of the deck each player is dealt two face down cards. After viewing the two face down cards, each player may act upon his or her hand. The player may be given the option to fold and receive a portion of the original wager back. Alternatively, the player may remain in the game leaving the original wager unchanged. As a further alternative, the player may be given the option to increase the wager up to a determined amount. After making a decision, one or more common cards are dealt face up. The common cards are common to each of the players' hands and to the dealer's hand. The dealer is then dealt one card face up to complete the deal. Each player compares his or her hand to the dealer's hand to determine if that player is a winner. Additionally, the player may receive a bonus for certain hands.

As a further alternative, the player may be given the option to increase the wager up to a determined amount. After making a decision, the five common cards are dealt face up. The common cards are common to each of the players' hands and to the dealer's hand. The dealer is then dealt one card face up to complete the deal. Each player compares his or her best five card hand to the dealer's best five card hand to determine if that player is a winner.
