Abstract: A casino card game played with a standard deck of cards on a standard gaming table that has imprinted on it a sequential display of the available ranks of the deck. The object is to obtain a randomly selected playing card fairly and securely. The cut card is used to randomly select the starting point on the sequential display. The top cards of the deck are exposed and placed on the sequential display in ascending order beginning with the starting point until one of the exposed cards agrees or matches the rank on the sequential display. The card making the match is the card used for determining winners and losers.
