ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a poker game implemented on a video gaming machine wherein the player is provided with an opportunity to place two wagers, a first wager wherein the player bets that each final hand will contain any one of a plurality of preselected card combinations, and a second wager wherein the player bets that one or more of the final hands will contain a specific card combination. During a “round of play,” the player is initially dealt a hand of cards after making the first wager. After reviewing the hand, the player chooses which cards, if any, he or she wishes to “hold” and whether to draw additional cards in an attempt to improve the value of his or her hand. Thereafter, the player may place a second wager that the final hand will contain a particular combination of cards that improves the ranking of his initial hand. If the final hand contains the combination that the player wagered upon, the player is provided with a predetermined payout, in addition to the payout, if any, based on the original wager.
