System and Method of Playing a Combination of Three Card Poker and Draw Poker

Abstract

An electronic poker-style card game of the present disclosure comprises an input device and a display device. In addition, the electronic poker-style card game comprises logic stored in memory and configured to display a gaming table via the display device, receive data, via the input device, indicative of at least one initial wager, thereby forming a wagered player, and deal a first number of cards to the wagered player and deal a second number of cards indicative of a dealer's hand. In addition, the logic further receives data indicative of a discarded card from the first number of cards and a corresponding additional wager and deals the wagered player a replacement card for the discarded card if the wagered player discarded one of the first number of cards to form a wagered player's hand. Furthermore, the logic discards one card from the second number of cards and resolves the wagered player's wager based upon the wagered player's hand and a predetermined payout schedule.
