ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for playing a multi-hand card game. The game allows the simultaneous play of multiple card hands. The multiple card hands are created from a first card hand—typically including the draw and random selection of additional cards in an attempt to improve the first card hand. All additional card hands are a variant of this first card hand (or each immediately preceding card hand). Specifically, each subsequent card hand is generated as a function of the rank of the immediately preceding card hand (or the first card hand). The generation of the subsequent card hands may be based on each card held in the first card hand. Alternately, the generation of cards for each subsequent card hand may be restrictively applied only to the hold cards from the first card hand with sufficient additional cards randomly selected to complete each of the subsequent card hands.
