Abstract

A method of playing a wagering game 20 between a plurality of players wherein each player places a wager 500 and an action player is selected. Commencing with the action player, hands of any one of a plurality of different games are dealt to the players (step 28). The action player and the next sequential player expose and compare hands (step 30). The winning player collects the wager 500 of the losing player (step 32). Play continues with the next sequential player exposing his/her hand and comparing it with the hand of the previous winner (step 34). The winning player collects the wager 500 of the losing player (step 36). The steps of exposing and comparing (step 34), and collecting (step 36) are repeated sequentially until all players have participated. In a preferred embodiment, players are afforded the opportunity of placing first 601, second 602, and third 603 wagers, each of which is apportioned in the above manner.
