Casino card game

Abstract

A casino card game requires each player to make an Ante wager and allows each player to also make a Bonus wager at the same time. Three cards are then dealt to each player and one card to the House. At that time, each player can fold or make a Bet wager, and for each of those players that make the Bet wager, they win if they have one or more cards higher in value and of the same suit as the House card. In the illustrated embodiment, the Bet wager is of the same amount as the Ante wager, and each player who does not make a Bet wager loses their Ante wager and any Bonus wager, if made. For winning hands, the Bet wager pays 1 to 1 and Bonus wagers pay according to a table depending upon the player's cards.
