Abstract
The card game of the present invention uses at least one or preferably one standard deck of 52 cards plus at least one or preferably four Jokers. Each Player, along with the Banker, is dealt seven cards, and plays against a Banker. In any given hand, Players have the option to make from one and up to eight different types of bets on the value of their own hand. A Player's wager wins if the Player's best five-card poker hand selected from the Player's seven dealt cards is one of the winning hands of the bet the Player makes, and the Player's wager loses if the Player's best five-card poker hand is neither one of the winning hands nor one of the pushing hand(s). If a Player makes more than one bet, the Player may win all bets made, the Player may win some bet(s) and lose the other(s), or the Player may lose all bets made. The eight types of bets do not require skill; Players win their wagers based on the strength of the hands as dealt.
