Abstract
A card game and video gaming system includes a matrix of card positions in addition to cards dealt for a player's hand. The player may select betting lines or line paths in the matrix to play and set a wager for the selected line paths. Line paths may include a variety of line configurations including rows and/or columns of the matrix. One or more cards may be selected for retention from the player's hand and combined with cards in each of the selected line path of the matrix to form patterns. The matrix may activate card positions or cards depending on line path selections as well as a number of cards selected for retention. A payout may be determined based on the number of patterns formed as well as the type of patterns.
