The method of the present invention involves a game of chance based on the principles of rummy. An electronic gaming machine is programmed to display an initial hand of at least six cards, and preferably seven cards, to the player. The player selects which of the initial cards to hold and which to discard. Replacement cards are displayed for the cards which have been discarded and the combinations created by the resulting final hand are compared against a payout table to determine which winning payoffs, if any, are received by the player. Preferred winning combinations are seven, six, five and four card runs, four and three card groups and the combination (sets) of three or four card runs and three or four card groups. The method of the present invention can also be practiced on a non-gaming amusement device in which the player accrues points for winning plays. The non-gaming amusement device can take the form of a hand-held amusement device operated by batteries or other suitable power sources, a stand-alone amusement apparatus or a video cartridge suitable for use with an entertainment system.
