ABSTRACT:
An electronic video draw poker machine is provided with a multi-hand screen display that can show a plurality of five card draw poker hands at the same time. In the preferred embodiment, four separate hands are displayed. A separate five card poker is displayed on a quadrant of the screen display with each five card hand being dealt from its associated deck of playing cards. The initial deal of each five card hand is two cards face up and three cards face down. After the player has selected which five card hand he wishes to play, the game continues in the conventional manner with the player discarding and drawing replacement cards. After the draw step is completed, the final five card hand is compared to a pay table based on poker hand ranking to determine if the player has achieved a winning combination. The amount of the payout to the player for a winning combination is based on the number of coins, tokens or credits wagered by the player and the type of winning hand achieved. Alternatively, all of the initial hands can be dealt from a single deck of playing cards. After the player selects which of the initial hands the player wishes to play, all of the cards from the non-selected hands are returned to the deck to be available as possible replacement cards during the draw step.
