ABSTRACT:
A method of conducting a video poker game is disclosed. The method comprises offering players an option to draw cards a second time in response to an initial hand meeting certain pre-established requirements. For example, if an initial hand having five cards includes four cards to a royal flush or straight flush, or three cards to a four of a kind, the player may be provided with the second draw opportunity. The player may also have to hold the pre-established cards. To participate in the second draw opportunity the player places a second wager such that payouts are provided from a second pay table wherein certain payouts are decreased over those found in a pay table associated with one draw outcomes. In some versions, the second draw opportunity is only provided to players placing a first wager meeting or exceeding a minimum threshold value (e.g., maximum coins or units).
