Game play:

Give each player a quantity of chips. Each player must then place one chip of the same denomination on each of the ten spaces on the Bonanza wheel. Deal the cards one at a time beginning at the dealer's left and dealing one extra hand as a "widow." Continue dealing until the pack is exhausted, regardless of the fact that some of the players will receive an extra card.

The players examine their cards. The dealer, without looking at the "widow," chooses either to discard his hand in exchange for it or to keep his hand and sell the "widow" to the highest bidder. If he announces that the "widow" is for sale, the other players, without looking at it, may bid for it if they choose, the bidding starting at the dealer's left and continuing around the table as many times as necessary to determine the highest bidder. The successful bidder gives the dealer the number of chips bid, discards his original hand, and picks up the "widow." If the dealer offers the "widow" for sale and no one bids, it is discarded.

The play of the hand falls into two parts, the first on the upper half of the wheei (Joker, Queen-Jack, Sequence, Ten-Two, and Poker) and the second on the lower half (Ace of Spades, King of Hearts, Queen of Diamonds, Jack of Clubs, and Center Section).
