Abstract: A method of playing a card game that includes providing a deck of playing cards, assigning a position value to positions at a playing area, dealing a predetermined number of cards to at least one player at least one pre-selected position, and determining if a player is entitled to a payment and/or value based upon at least one dealt card in either the player's hand or a house hand matching at least one assigned position value. Alternatively, bonus values are determined based upon cards dealt to the dealer as opposed to being based upon playing positions.

Abstract: A poker-style casino card game wherein jokers are never wild. The game uses a 52 card standard playing deck plus an additional five Jokers for a total of 57 playing cards. A sixth "imaginary" or side Joker is deemed to be within a player's hand if he places one of the side bets. The other side bet provides for greater payout based on standard poker hand rankings. The player antes a first bet and any desired side bets. After seeing the first card of the dealer's hand, the player decides whether or not to proceed with the hand. If the player proceeds, he wagers a second bet.
