ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for conducting a video draw poker game is disclosed. The poker game defines a plurality of award-winning rankings and awards associated with the rankings. The apparatus includes a value input device for receiving a wager, a display for displaying the poker game, and a processor for conducting the poker game. The poker game may, for example, play like conventional draw poker except if and only if the dealt hand (prior to the draw) has one of the award-winning rankings, winning ones of the cards that yield the award-winning ranking are distinguished from other ones of the cards. The winning cards may be distinguished automatically or in response to a player input.
