The bonus scheme can provide for varying pay-outs based on any three-of-a-kind combination, combinations in the same card colors, and combinations in the same card suit. The bonus scheme and associated numbers for which a pay-out is made can be tied to a theme or themes. The method and system uses a specialized game board and a designated coin for making the side bets.
