In a poker type game cards numbering less than those in a standard deck of card are used to form a field of cards and a set of dealt cards. The cards of the field of cards are displayed face down. The set of dealt cards are displayed face-up. The combination of the cards in the field of cards and set of dealt cards includes at least one Royal Flush combination. The player discards cards from the set of dealt cards and selects replacement cards to the discarded cards from the field of cards. The player's hand is formed from the set of dealt cards, less any discarded cards, plus the replacement cards. The player's hand is a winning hand if it is a predetermined winning combination of cards. At the conclusion of the game, the cards in the field of cards are displayed to the player.
