Abstract

See full text

A poker-type table game which can be played by one or more persons. The game comprises a Keno-like enclosed bowl 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 bowl to assure randomness, a number of balls, corresponding to the number of cards dealt in a poker hand (e.g. six cards), are blown into a 'unicorn' at the top of the bowl in consecutive order. The results of the hand are displayed on a game table. Prior to the initiation of the game, i.e. blowing the balls into the 'unicorn', each player uses chips or the like, in attempting to guess, for example, if one or more of the cards has a value or '9' or better with Aces being high, or a value of '2' through '7' being low. Each player can also use the chips to guess if the hand contains conventional combinations such as a straight, a flush, three of a kind or the like and also if any cards in the hand are among three cards of a particular suit and/or are a card of a particular value but of any suit.
