Abstract: Methods of and apparatuses for playing a card game. In one-method, each player and the dealer is dealt at least one face down cards. After viewing the 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. 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. Further, the player may fold and receive a return based on some portion or all of the wager for having one or two of a predetermined card (such as a deuce) in the player's initial two cards.
