A method of playing a poker-style card game, the method comprising: at least one player placing an initial wager to participate in the game, thereby forming a wagered player; dealing a first number of cards from a physical deck of playing cards face down to the wagered player; dealing a second number of cards from a physical deck of playing cards face down to the dealer to form a dealer's hand, the wagered player discarding a card if the wagered player places an additional wager; dealing the wagered player a replacement card for the discarded card if the wagered player discarded one of the first number of cards from a physical deck of playing cards; discarding one card from the dealer's hand; and resolving the wagered player's wager based on the initial number of cards dealt and a predetermined payout schedule, wherein the wagered player discarding and the dealing of the replacement card occur only when the player places the additional wager.
