ABSTRACT:
Games (such as any poker game, whether it be draw poker, stud poker or a community card poker and, more particularly, a Texas hold 'em game or a variant in which players are either initially dealt four cards or the seventh card is dealt face down to individual players) normally played with a traditional deck of cards in accordance with a preselected set of rules for the game are played with a Chinese poker deck of 52 cards and the following additional rules: any player with the right to use a first wild card may designate the first card to be any card contained in the Chinese poker deck but no player may use more than one wild card and any player who can not make a hand because the player has more than one wild card looses the hand to any player who can make a hand. The Chinese poker deck has three different sets of nine cards in three suits (e.g., circles, bamboo and script), each of the nine cards in one of the three suits bearing a different designation representing the numbers 1 through 9, five different sets of four cards bearing a unique designation with a hierarchal ranking (e.g., GD, EW, SW, WW and NW, in descending order of ranking, all of which are higher than a 9 for a single card), and a set of five wild cards (e.g, bearing a unique Feng Shui designation).
