ABSTRACT:
A method for playing a wagering or bidding game whose outcome is determined by randomly received symbols is provided. Initially, symbols such as cards having a numerical value of one, two, or three as well as a designation as one of two suits are supplied. In addition, there are also no value cards having no suit. A plurality of players are each dealt a hand using the cards or other symbols and then players in turn make increasing bids on a suit total until the bid of a last player is called by the next player to bid. This suit total is the total of added numerical values of the cards of the selected suit in the hands of all of the players. The no value cards are also preferably used and bids can also be made on the number of these cards in the hands of the players. Alternately, the symbols are displayed on a video display screen as part of an electronic game device.
