Abstract
The card game of the present invention is a seven-card stud poker game, played with at least one but preferably one standard deck of 52 cards plus at least one but preferably one Joker. Two or more players, preferably seven players, may participate in any given round of play. One of the players is the Banker whom other players play against. A Player who is not the Banker may play Poker Bet against the Banker's hand and/or Pair Of Aces Or Better Bet on the contents of the Player's own hand. After at least one wager is placed, each Player and the Banker is dealt seven cards. The Player's Poker Bet wager wins if the Player's best 5-card poker hand (selected from the Player's own seven cards) beats the Banker's best 5-card poker. The Player's Pair Of Aces Or Better Bet wager wins if the Player's best 5-card poker hand is a pair of Aces or a better hand. Poker Bet and Pair Of Aces Or Better Bet are two independent wagers and are settled separately.
