Abstract: A bingo-like game and method of playing. One variation is playable by one or more players and provides players with a chance to obtain prizes by responding to queries that correspond to the squares of a bingo board or other matrix of selections, with the player who answers the question completing a row, column, or optionally a diagonal, winning the game. This variation is playable as a television, board, or automated game (e.g., via computer or hand-held device). A second variation is playable using, for example, a slot machine, and includes random selection of results, such as via one or more slot reels, and upon a winning alignment occurring in the reels, proceeding to a second portion of the game, such as a display, in which one of a matrix of selections is selected, with the player winning upon completing a row, column, or optionally a diagonal.

Abstract: A three card game and method of playing includes two rounds. The game is playable using one or more standard decks of 52 cards or representations thereof. After payment of an ante/first play bet by each player, two cards are dealt face up to each player and to the dealer. Each player then either “folds,” losing the ante/first play bet and ending the game for that player, or places a second play bet to enter the second round. A third card is then dealt to each remaining player and to the dealer, and the cards are revealed. The dealer's cards are compared to each player's cards, with the high hand winning. If the player's hand wins, the house pays a return according to a pay table and based on the combined ante/first play bet and second play bet. If the dealer's hand wins, the player forfeits both bets.
