Abstract

A modified card game provides a player the ability to sequentially become eligible for a bonus round of play. The game includes dealing a set of cards to the player for playing the modified card game in accordance with a predetermined number of positions, determining whether a designated card appears in cards dealt to the player, and if so, assigning a position corresponding to the dealt card with an indicator, and repeating this process until the card game is completed. The game also includes determining whether all of the predetermined number of positions have been assigned with the indicator, and if so, playing the modified card game in accordance with a bonus round for enhanced enjoyment/excitement.
