A wagering game between a dealer and one or more players involving one or more decks of cards, a betting board and player markers. The betting board has four columns of betting places, each column corresponding to one of four card suits, said betting places being arranged in rows of four, one betting place for each column. Each row is set at a progressively increasing designated odds payoff. Each player makes a bet by selecting a betting place with a marker. A dealer deals one card to each player. If the column of the betting place matches the suit of the card dealt, the player is a winner. The winner may accept the designated odds payoff or may advance up the column to a higher designated odds payoff row. If the player's betting place column does not match the suit of the card dealt, the dealer is the winner. Players may make side bets on the value of the card dealt as agreed to between player and dealer.
