Definitions
- the present invention relates to a casino house game which is a variant of five card stud poker.
- Stud poker is a popular game, in casinos and the game has been adapted over the years to evolve new variants such as "Hold'em” and "Omaha”. Hitherto, with such games and variants, the player plays against fellow players, rather than the casino.
- US5382025 discloses a variant of stud poker in which three or more hands are dealt and the players are able to bet on whichever of the hands they believe will win.
- the present invention provides a method of playing a poker game in which each player plays against a dealer.
- a card game comprises a conventional set of playing cards and a gaming cloth; characterised in that the gaming cloth provides;
- the result of the game is decided on the conventional ranking of poker hands. If however the house's hand is below a predetermined minimum value, the house forfeits the game, paying out on the player's initial bet.
- the minimum qualifying hand for the house may be of any specified rank, but will typically be a pair of fours.
- the house would pay out odds, at least on the player's initial bet, depending on the rank of the player's hand.
- further areas are provided for each player in which further bets may be placed on the outcome of a comparison of the two cards dealt to each player plus optional additional cards and two cards dealt to the dealer plus optional additional cards, played in accordance with conventional blackjack rules.
- a gaming cloth 10 is marked with areas 12 in which cards from a conventional pack of playing cards may be dealt to one or more players; an area 14 in which cards may be dealt to a dealer; and an area 16 marked 'flop' in which common cards may be dealt.
- a first betting box 18 marked 'ante' is provided for each player and a second betting box 20 marked 'call' is provided for each player.
- the player places a bet in the box 18 marked 'ante'.
- the dealer on behalf of the house, then deals two cards in areas 12 to each player and two cards in area 14 to himself. All cards are dealt face-down.
- the players decide to continue with the game, then they place a bet, of double their initial bet, in the box 18 marked 'call'. Alternatively, the player may pass their hand and lose the bet placed in box 18.
- Poker Ranking Hand Example Royal Flush A,K,Q,J,10(suited) Straight Flush 7,8,9,10,J(suited) Four of a Kind 3,3,3,3,K Full House 7,7,7,Q,Q Straight 3,4,5,6,7(unsuited) Three of a Kind 10,10,10,7,3 Two Pair A,A,7,7,J One Pair 5,5,K,J,7 High Card in Hand A,K,7,5,3(unsuited)
- the players best poker hand is then compared with the best poker hand made up from the two cards dealt face-down to the dealer in area 14 and five cards in area 16 to decide the winner.
- the dealer's hand is a pair of fours or better and he loses to a player then he pays the player's bets in boxes 18 and 20 at even money. If however the dealer's hand is higher than the player's hand then he takes the player's bets from both boxes 18 and 20.
- each player may place an additional bet.
- the additional bet being decided after completion of the game described above, on the basis of the two cards dealt to each player in area 12 and two cards dealt to the dealer in area 14, one card being face-up and the other card being face-down.
- the additional bet being decided on the basis of the two cards plus optional additional cards, the value of the cards totalling 21 or under in accordance with conventional blackjack rules.
- the above described game may also be adapted for Internet entertainment and video slot machines. It could furthermore be stored on a disk and played on a computer or interactive television.
