ABSTRACT:
A multiple hand variation of the card game of Hi-Lo poker involving individual players being dealt six cards, the six cards being divided into a one-card high ranking hand, a two-card high ranking hand, and a three-card low ranking hand is disclosed. The cards in the three hands are ranked according to a hierarchy which ranks individual cards according to values placed upon each card and in addition, ranks combinations of cards according to an established criteria. The players must arrange the cards in the three hands so as to maximize their overall chances of having one or more winning hands when compared to a bank player's three hands. Each player's one-card, two-card and three-card hands are compared against the bank player's respective one-card, two-card and three-card hands to determine if the player wins the hand in which case the bank player pays the player, or if the player loses the hand, in which case the player forfeits its wager for the hand, or there is a tie.
