ABSTRACT:
A player makes a wager, determines the number of hands the player wishes to play and a first starting five card video poker hand is displayed. The computer controls of the gaming machine calculate the Expected Value (EV) for the five card hand displayed based on the poker format being played. The computer controls then display to the player one or more additional five card starting hands having an EV similar to the EV of the first starting hand. The player selects one of the hands to play and all of the other hands are converted to the same hand chosen by the player. The player holds and then replacement cards are dealt for the discarded cards and the poker hand ranking of each final hand is determined. Awards are made to the player for winning poker hands based on the pay table being used and the amount wagered.
