Abstract

See full text

A computer card game using a video screen which allows the player to make a second wager for an additional card after a first card has been dealt which will be compared with the cards in the first card hand. The matching cards are defined as Jokers or Wild Cards which will then be used to define the best card hand. The amount of the second wager can be fixed and the payout will vary according to the first card hand. Alternatively, the amount of the second wager can vary and the payout will remain the same. The player has the option to terminate the game if he chooses not to register the second wager. The game is won or lost when the card hand as configured is compared to the ranking of card hands on the payout table, which also determines the amount of the payout, if any. In one embodiment, the player is permitted to substitute at least one card in the first card hand before the second wager is registered.
