If a wager is made on at least one hand of cards, at least five cards are selected from at least one deck of cards, all displayed face up. The deck of cards includes a plurality of cards each having a rank and a suit. At least two of the ranks are different and at least two of the suits are different. Zero, one or a plurality of the cards are selected from the first hand as cards to be held. If a second wager is made on a second hand, a card having the same rank as the card selected to be held from the first hand is displayed in the second hand for each card selected to be held from the first hand. The first and second hands can be completed to include at least five face up cards. Any awards for any determined winning combinations of cards of the completed first or second hands can be displayed.
