A method of conducting a Mahjong-style card game is disclosed. The method
comprises utilizing a deck of cards depicting Mahjong-type symbols. In
one version, players place a Tian-Hu wager, and optionally a bonus wager,
and receive six cards. Players then have the option to progress through
four rounds of play, including additional wagers and folding options,
wherein players seek to form a Hu in the form of a Tian-Hu, Di-Hu, Fa-Hu
or Ting-Hu using cards in their individual hand and/or in combination
with community cards. A Hu comprises a pair of cards having a same suit
and rank in combination with a three-card run or trips. Optional double
down and bonus wagers may also be offered to players.
