Abstract
A method is set forth for playing a game wherein an initial holding of five playing cards is provided for the player, the player assembling the initial holding into one or more sub-hands of one card each. Play is completed by completing each sub-hand to final hands of five cards each. For each completed sub-hand which corresponds to a winning combination, payoffs are provided according to a pay table. For losing sub-hand combinations, the wager is lost. Wagers are allocated on a pro-rata basis to each sub-hand based upon the number of cards in the arranged sub-hands. Payoffs are based upon the allocated amounts of the wager for each sub-hand.
