ABSTRACT:
The player makes one wager to play two or more, an preferably five hands, of five cards each against a pay table and the player attempts to make the highest ranking five card poker hand in each hand. Using a standard deck of fifty-two playing cards, two cards are dealt face up and are the community cards that are common to each hand. The remaining three cards for each hand are dealt face down. The player may discard none, one or both of the face up community cards and receives replacement cards for the discarded cards, if any. The player may double his wager before or after the draw step. When the draw step is completed and the player has doubled his wager or not, the player presses the deal button and the remaining three face down cards are revealed. The community cards are used with each of the partial three card hands to form final five card hands. The player wins on any five card hand that has a preestablished poker hand ranking as shown in the pay table. The amount won by the player is based on the poker hand ranking of each hand and the amount wagered by the player. In one variation, a sixty-five card deck is used which has five thirteen card suits. A payout multiplier feature may be used which randomly appears during the play of the game to increase the payouts made to the player.
