ABSTRACT:
A poker-Keno-type game which can be played by one or more persons. The game comprises a Keno-like "goose" containing fifty-two balls each bearing the representation of a card in a conventional deck of playing cards. After the balls are mixed or shuffled in the "goose" to assure randomness, a number of balls, corresponding to the number of cards dealt in a poker hand (e.g. five cards), are blown into "rabbit ears" in consecutive order. The results of the poker hand are displayed on at least one game board either in the form of a large board which can be hung so as to be seen in a large room or in the form of a table game. Prior to the initiation of the game, each player uses a slip, if the large board is used, or chips or the like, if a table game is used, in attempting to guess, for example, if one or more of the cards has a value of "9" or better with Aces being high, or a value of "2" through "7" being low. Each player can also use the slip or chips to guess if the hand contains conventional poker combinations such as a straight, a flush, a full house or the like.
