Abstract
A game of chance and skill where a player, after making a wager, is dealt, face-up, a hand of five cards which is placed in a player-hand area (122). The player also receives a solitary card, which is dealt face down in a single-card area (124). The player then has a chance to improve the ranking of the five-card hand by discarding up to five cards and replacing them with an equal number of new cards. After the player rearranges the five-card hand, the solitary card is turned face-up and all the cards in the player's hand which have the same face value as the solitary card are designated wild. The ranking winnings are calculated according to a statistical pay table.
