Abstract
A card game particularly suited for gaming wherein, in addition to payouts determined by the rank of a player's hand against a predetermined payout schedule or against the hands of a dealer or other players, a player may qualify for a payout determined by a movable payout indicator, preferably in the form of a rotatable wheel. A player can qualify for a spin of the wheel which indicates a prize by attaining a predetermined hand or one of a plurality of a predetermined hands. As an additional condition, the player may be required to place more than a minimum wager in order to qualify for a payout determined by the movable payout indicator. A player who has won a prize from a spin of the wheel may also be provided with an opportunity to double his winnings with an additional actuation of the movable payout indicator or in some other fashion.
