Abstract: A method for conducting a game includes receiving an ante wager and optional side wagers. A player hand, a dealer hand, and a community set are dealt. A first option is conducted for the player to place a raise wager or check. After the first option, a portion of the community set is exposed, followed by a second option to place a raise wager or check, unless a raise wager was previously received. A portion of the dealer hand is exposed, followed by a third option to place a raise wager or fold, unless a raise wager was previously received. The remainder of the community set and dealer hand are exposed, a final player hand and final dealer hand are formed, and wagers are resolved based on a comparison of the final player hand to the final dealer hand, and whether the final dealer hand has a qualifying holding.
