A method of playing a hybrid live casino and video wagering game and an apparatus for playing that game, including a game of poker comprises:a) dealing a number of playing cards to a player(s) at a live casino gaming table to form an original hand. The player(s) has made a wager on a game such as a poker game being played with that original hand or places a wager at any time before seeing one or more cards of the hand;b) from a separate, virtual deck of playing cards, dealing one card that is a display card, displayed on a video monitor that can be seen by the player(s);c) at any time during play of the game, revealing on the monitor the value of the display card, the display card establishing a fact that cards of equal rank or value to the display card are Wild Cards for the purpose of establishing a rank or value (e.g., total point count) for the player's hand; andd) paying the player for attaining a hand of at least a predetermined rank with or without the presence of Wild Cards or for displaying a hand that wins against a dealer's hand in the play of an underlying game or attains a poker rank that receives a payout irrespective of its relationship to the rank of a dealer's hand. Where the game is a draw poker game, steps such as allowing the player to discard cards from the original hand, and dealing player replacement cards to bring the player's hand up to the number of cards used to play the game of poker may be used.
