The player then receives a random first hand from a full deck of cards. The first hand of cards are compared with the designated wild card to determine all matching cards and designating all matching cards in the first hand as wild cards. The player may then be provided with the option of replacing cards in the first hand with cards remaining in the deck. All replacement cards which match the wild card will also become wild. The player is also provided with an option of buying a second wild card after a losing card hand. This provides the player with an opportunity to change a losing card hand into a winning card hand. After a winning card hand the player is provided with a double or nothing option which provides a further dynamic game exchange between player and game.Field of SearchEdge indicationElectric or magnetic CARD OR TILE GAMES, CARDS OR TILES THEREFOR Ultimate outcome dependant upon relative odds of a card or tile combination (e.g., poker, etc.) Ultimate outcome dependant upon summation of plural card or tile values (e.g., blackjack, etc.) Credit/debit monitoring or manipulation (e.g., game entry, betting, prize level, etc.) | |
