- wherein the last playing card frame of the first row, the one single card frame of the second row and the first playing card frame of the third row designate a middle line of card frames for a respective player to selectively wager a bet on the dealt game cards placed on the middle line of card frames.
A computer program product for playing a card game, comprising a memory device storing program instructions executable by a processor to perform game play actions comprising:
- displaying, via a display device, a game substrate for playing a card game, the substrate comprising:
- one or more player positions, each player position including a bet placement zone indicia layout, and
- a card indicia layout having a plurality of card frames arranged in a Z-pattern, the Z-pattern represents a pattern and sequential order in which game cards, when dealt, are placed on the substrate, the Z-pattern comprising:
- a first row of card frames comprising at least a first playing card frame and a last playing card frame for placement of a first row of the dealt cards,
- a second row of a card frame comprising one single card frame for placement of a second row of the dealt cards, and
- a third row of card frames comprising at least a first playing card frame and a last playing card frame for placement of a third row of the dealt cards,
- wherein the last playing card frame of the first row, the one single card frame of the second row and the first playing card frame of the third row designate a middle line of card frames for a respective player to selectively wager a bet on the dealt cards placed on the middle line of card frames;
- receiving, via a user interface, an user input representative of an instruction to place a token into a token receiving zone associated with each bet placement zone indicia layout;
- and
- causing the display device to display the token on the display device.
