ABSTRACT:
An electronic poker gaming device which provides at least one player with the option of placing a first wager against either a predetermined payout schedule, a dealer's hand, or both. After this first wager is placed, three cards representing a dealer's hand are then dealt face down, and three cards representing the player's hand are dealt face up. After inspecting the player's hand of three cards, the gaming device provides an opportunity for the player to place a second wager that the player's three card hand exceeds the dealer's three card hand, or the player may forfeit the first first wager. According to another aspect, each player is provided with a wild card which is retained and used repeatedly by a player in each hand. The wild card may take a novel promotional form and is preferably more durable than the standard playing cards.
