Abstract

A game that combines the concepts of poker and bingo is disclosed. The game is comprised of as many as thirteen individual player-tablets, a game board, a deck of standard playing cards, chips for establishing pots, and tokens for covering indicia cards on the player-tablets. Up to thirteen individual player-tablets can be used in a single game, with each sheet having a unique indicia of twenty-five different playing cards, including one Joker, imprinted on it and arranged strategically in a 5.times.5 matrix so that no two player-tablets in a given game are the same. The main game board is laid out with five pot areas comprised of a Center Pot, a Four-Corners Pot, a Four-of-a-Kind Pot, a Bingo Pot, and a Jackpot. When one of the pot conditions is covered on a player-tablet, the player wins that pot. Each time the Bingo Pot is won, the present game is over, with all pots that were not won remaining on the game board. Bets are then made again by placing chips in all the pots and another game is played. This allows some of the pots to build up to large amounts. All the chips remaining in pots that are not won after a predetermined number of games are moved to the Jackpot and a final Jackpot game is played where the first player to cover all twenty five cards, except the Joker, on his/her player-tablet wins the Jackpot.
