Abstract

A game of chance is based on the principles of traditional Canasta. Two Jokers are added to two standard fifty-two card decks to form a pack having 106 cards. The Jokers operate as wild cards and the Deuces are also considered as wild cards, resulting in a total of ten wild cards used in the method of play. Seven cards are initially dealt to the player from the original 106 card deck. The player selects which of the initial seven cards to hold and which to discard. Replacement cards from the original 106 card deck are displayed for the cards which have been discarded and the combinations created by the resulting seven card hand are compared against a payout table to determine which winning payoffs, if any, are received by the player. Preferred winning combinations are Seven of a Kind with no wild cards, Six of a Kind with no wild cards, Two Sets--one Four of a Kind and one Three of a Kind with no wild cards, Seven of a Kind with wild cards, Five of a Kind with no wild cards, Two Sets--one Four of a Kind and one Three of a Kind with wild cards, Two Sets--each being a Three of a Kind with no wild cards, Six of a Kind with wild cards, Four of a Kind with no wild cards, Five of a Kind with wild cards and Four of a Kind with wild cards.
