A poker-type card game comprises at least one player making at least one ante wager in the poker-type game at least against a dealer/banker's hand. The player receives a first number of cards and the dealer receives a second number of cards that is at least one card more then the number of cards received by the player. A set of community cards is provided that are used by the dealer and the player. One of the dealer's cards is exposed to the table to provide an exposed dealer card. The dealer is compelled to discard the exposed dealer's card if the rank of the exposed dealer's card is within a first range of values and the dealer is compelled to discard an unexposed dealer's card if the exposed dealer's card is within a second range of values. After resolving the status of the dealer's hand, the player may be allowed to amend the initial one ante wager. The player may also make two separate ante wagers, one of which may be withdrawn upon seeing the dealer's up card or the resolution of the discard and retention requirements by the dealer. Different amounts and proportions of Second Ante wagers and/or Play Wagers may be made on the respective ante wagers, such as 1.times., 1.5.times., 2.times., 3.times. or more with respect to the amount of the first ante wager.
