Abstract

When played as a casino table game, the poker-type game of the present invention consists of a dealer and from one to six players and is played with a standard 52 card deck. After each player places an ante wager, the dealer deals three cards face down to each player. Each player then either folds and loses his bet or stays by placing a second wagering bet. A fourth face down card is then dealt to each player who either folds or places an additional raise bet. A fifth face-up card is then dealt to each remaining player. Losing hands are locked-up and winning hands are paid by the dealer according to the odds listed in a payout table. The object of the game is for a player to form a five card poker hand that has the highest possible poker hand ranking. The electronic version of the game is played in essentially the same manner except that only one hand is dealt. After the player inserts a coin or otherwise places his ante wager, three cards are dealt face up. The player then decides whether to fold or place a second wager for a fourth card. Again, the player decides whether to fold or place a double raise wager for his fifth card. If, after receiving the fifth card, the player has a winning hand, he is paid based on a payout table or he is determined to be a loser and all wages are forfeited.
