One or more payout indicia cards are randomly interspersed throughout a conventional deck of cards. A base game begins with players wagering and receiving a player hand. During game play of the base game, players receiving a payout indicia card are rewarded as indicated by the payout indicia card rather than the payout under the base rules. Outcome indicia cards may also be included in the deck of cards. The outcome for players receiving outcome is changed to the outcome indicated on the outcome indicia card rather than the outcome under the base rules. The method may also be applied to games utilizing electronic representations of playing cards.
