Abstract
The method of present invention involves dealing multiple rows of five card hands. The player attempts to achieve a high ranking poker hand on the center row by using face up and face down cards as potential replacement cards for the five cards initially dealt to the center row. An alternate method of the present invention involves permitting the player to play up to three hands of video poker at the same time. Another version of the present invention involves combining a Twenty-One game with a Stud Poker game in which the cards used during the play of the Twenty-One game are utilized to form a Stud Poker hand.
