ABSTRACT:
An electronically implemented method of playing a poker style video game displaying a 5×4 matrix. The rows are each preassigned a single card value from the group consisting of Tens, Jacks, Queens, Kings or Aces. Only Tens, Jacks, Queens, Kings and Aces of each suit, namely Spades, Clubs, Hearts and Diamonds, from a standard 52 card deck are utilized. The twenty cards are randomly shuffled and dealt into the 5×4 matrix. Pay outs are based on the number of Tens in the preassigned Tens row, Jacks in the preassigned Jacks row, etc. Additional pay outs are based on the cards in each of the columns. Column pay outs include straights and royal flushes. Preferably, players are allowed to select which initially dealt cards to hold and which to discard. The discards are shuffled and randomly re-dealt a second time to the unoccupied spaces of the matrix.
