ABSTRACT:
The player is dealt an initial hand of five cards. The player is offered the opportunity to swap certain of the first five initially dealt cards for a different card if two conditions exist: 1) the player must have a pair or three-of-a-kind of Deuces through Tens; and 2) two of the remaining cards of the player's first five initially dealt cards must add up numerically to the same rank as the cards forming the pair or three-of-a-kind. If both those conditions exist, the player is offered the opportunity to swap the two cards which add up to the rank of the player's pair or three-of-a-kind for another card of that rank. If the player chooses to accept the swap, the player's hand will then be improved from a pair to three-of-a-kind or from three-of-a-kind to four-of-a-kind prior to the draw step of the method of play. Alternatively, the player is offered a different swap opportunity if any two groups of the player's initially dealt cards add up, subtract from, multiply with or divide with each other to the same numerical value, then the player has the option of swapping the two groups of cards to create a pair or a three-of-a-kind prior to the draw step. The player then discards and draws replacement cards to attempt to further improve his hand.
