ABSTRACT:
A video card game machine has a central processing unit for simulating a card game in accordance with a game control program and a display for displaying a plurality of playing cards. In a baccarat game, two playing cards are distributed to a banker and to a player. One of the four playing cards becomes a judgment card which is turned face down. Prior to displaying playing cards on the display, a game player predicts a winning competitor or a tie game and a bet state is entered from an operation panel to the central processing unit. The number of the judgment card leading to a hit of the prediction made by the game player, is displayed on the display and surrounded by a frame. After the win/tie conditions are displayed, the judgment card is faced. If it is possible to draw the third playing card, the frame is continuously displayed, whereas if the next playing card cannot be drawn and the game is terminated, the frame is flashed.
