A card game and method of play are provided. The method includes providing a deck of cards having at least five different symbols thereon and a gaming table with a plurality of player positions, the gaming table including at least three card receiving boxes which are positioned to receive cards dealt from the deck, and each player position including ante receiving areas. The deck of cards is shuffled by the dealer, and an ante is placed in at least one ante receiving area by each player at each of the plurality of the player positions. The dealer deals a card from the shuffled deck into each of the at least three card receiving boxes, and then turns over each of the cards dealt into the first three of the at least three card receiving boxes. A determination is made if a winning combination is present in the first three card receiving boxes. If a winning combination of the cards is present each of the players is paid who placed an ante in the at least one ante receiving area for the first three cards, and if a winning combination is not present in the first three card receiving boxes, the dealer collects all of the antes on the gaming table and starts a new game. If a winning combination was present in the first three cards, the dealer turns over a fourth card, and a further determination is made if a winning combination is present. The dealer then pays off the players who placed an ante in an ante receiving area for the four card combination if a winning combination is present, and if a winning combination is not present, the dealer collects all the remaining ante and starts a new game. This process can continue for a fifth card or additional cards dealt in the card receiving boxes.
