The apparatus (21) includes a display assembly (22) having a plurality of card spaces (23) each representing one card in a deck of cards, preferably arranged in a wheel of fortune array. A plurality of lights (26) are positioned in the display for individually identifying each of the card spaces (23) upon lighting of the lights (26). Game control apparatus (28) including a random sequence generator (29) electrically connected to momentarily illuminate the lights (26) in a continuing random sequence so that the cards (23) are individually identified one after another in the random sequence. A user actuatable input selection button (33) is electrically connected to the game control (28) for interrupting the continuously random sequence to effect a card selection by continuously lighting the next light (26) to be lit in the random sequence. Poker criteria comparison memory (37) is provided so that selected cards can be compared and awards paid out to the player. Optionally a card discard apparatus (52, 53) can be coupled to the game controller (28). A method of playing a poker game having a wheel of fortune-like display (22) also is set forth.
