ABSTRACT:
A method of playing a matching wagering game is provided between players and a dealer whose outcome is determined by randomly generated playing cards. After an ante bet is wagered, the dealer deals five cards to each player and deals seven cards to himself. A round of play is then commenced where the dealer plays a card from his hand to present the rank and suit thereof. Next, each player plays a "matching" card from his respective hand which is either the same suit or the same rank. In this manner, each player reduces the number of cards in his hand where a matching card is played during the round. The conducting of a round step is then repeated until each card in the hand of the dealer has been played. Seven rounds are thus played each game, so that ultimately there are no cards left in the hand of the dealer. The ante bet of each respective player is consequently paid off (a) to each player if each player has no card remaining, or (b) to the dealer if each player has one or more cards remaining. Preferably, prior to the conducting step, each player determines whether his respective hand has a hand rank in poker exceeding three of a kind. If the player does have such a highly ranked hand, the dealer pays off an amount to that player which is a multiple of the ante bet.
