ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates generally to a casino-type method of playing poker and to computer implementations thereof, wherein one or more players play a single hand against the house. It relates more particularly to a multi-deck method of playing a poker-like game wherein multiple players progressively wager on a single five-card player hand which is matched against a later-dealt best-five-of-seven card dealer hand, the winning hand being determined by traditional rules of poker. The instant invention allows multiple players to win based on the card combinations in the single player hand. It also provides for the possibility of a bust hand and for the purchase of insurance to protect against same. Finally, the instant invention is suitable for use with one or more progressive jackpots which a player may become eligible to win by paying a premium.
