Abstract

See full text

A starting hand of five cards is dealt and the player then plays this hand with a first pay table. If the player's starting hand of cards has a poker hand ranking of any preselected combination of cards, such as a Three-of-a-Kind, the player is given the option of choosing to play the rest of the hand with a second pay table which has higher awards to the player than the first pay table. In another variation, the player is dealt a starting hand of cards, such as five cards, and the player would play this hand with a pay table. If the player's starting hand of cards has a poker hand ranking of a preselected combination of cards, such as a Three-of-a-Kind, the player is given a second hand of cards identical to the first hand of cards and the player plays out both the first hand and the second hand by discarding and drawing replacement cards. Another variation would be if the player's starting hand has a preselected poker hand combination, such as a Straight or Better, the player is awarded with a bonus round of play.
