ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are described for playing a six-card draw-poker-like game, played with a single deck of cards, in which there are a number of unique hands which require six cards. The invention uses a computer and a video screen. The computer contains a payout table defining winning hands (at least some of which use all six cards). The player makes a wager with the computer which then displays a first hand with a defined rank from the single deck; the player then decides whether to draw cards from the remainder of the deck or to take any winnings from the first hand. If the player draws, the computer produces a second hand, and then determines if the second hand is a winner and pays out or not accordingly. The game is therefore similar to poker in its playing strategy but offers a substantially greater variety of possible winning hands, especially in combinations not possible in conventional five card poker, and provides for a higher probability of winning hands at the lower hand values. This stimulates much greater interest by players, particularly casual players, who appreciate the greater variety of winning combinations and opportunities for winning,
