ABSTRACT:
The method of playing a card game of the present invention is operated among a plurality of players arranged about a table. The method uses a card deck of 480 cards which consists of 12 modified conventional decks. Each modified conventional deck has an additional four joker cards and has all 7, 8, 9, and 10 cards removed therefrom. According to the method of the present invention, each of the plurality of players places a wager. A first player is assigned the title of banker and is provided three dice. The banker rolls the three dice to determine the assignment of an action button to a second player. The assignment of the action button to the second player is determined from the number indicated by the rolled dice. The first round of two cards is dealt one face up and one face down to the banker, and two face down to the other players in rotation. After all players have received their two cards, the players inspect their hands (consisting of the two hands) and determine whether additional cards are desired. Such additional cards, up to a total of two, are dealt beginning with a player seated to the immediate left of the banker. The hands of the various players are then compared with the hands of the banker and winners are declared who have hands that meet a predetermined scheme better than the banker's hand.
