Abstract
A table and method of playing a combined poker and baccarat-type card game that provides players with the opportunity to play together a simpler version of both poker and baccarat that is both easier to understand and capable of being played by more players. The method of playing a combined poker and baccarat-type card game comprises dealing 3 cards to both a banker hand and a player hand, with the winning baccarat hand having a hand value closest to nine based on the traditional baccarat scoring system, but without all of the complex baccarat rules for determining if and when a third card is to be dealt. Included is the option of any player to select that the player hand of three cards or the banker hand of three cards or both the player hand of three cards and the banker hand of three cards will provide a bonus poker hand of one pair, a flush, a straight, three of a kind and a straight flush (and also the highest six card straight flush if both the three card poker player hand and the three card poker banker hand are selected and together provide such a combination of playing cards).
