ABSTRACT:
A method of playing a video poker game that has a plurality of two-card, revealed, partial hands and five unrevealed community cards. A player wagers on one or more partial hands, after which some of the community cards are revealed. The player then either raises or folds each hand, after which the remainder of the community cards are revealed. Each partial hand is combined with all of the community cards to form complete hands. The player is paid a payout amount if the highest ranked complete hand that has not been folded is found in a pay table that corresponds to the hand. Optionally, the hands and payout amounts of the pay table are based on the odds of achieving ranked hands. Optionally, there are multiple sets of community cards.
