Abstract

Certains modes de réalisation de l'invention comprennent des variations d'un jeu de poker vidéo électronique qui comprend la présentation de chacune des 52 cartes d'un jeu de cartes à un joueur sur un écran. Le joueur choisit parmi le jeu de 52 cartes sur l'écran. Le joueur se voit présenter un aperçu furtif d'un nombre déterminé de cartes retournées tandis qu'il sélectionne dans le jeu sur l'écran. Le joueur entreprend de choisir des cartes à partir du jeu sur l'écran, en décidant s'il utilise ou non les cartes aperçues furtivement. Le joueur est payé pour n'importe quelle main de poker de 5 cartes qui est considérée avoir une valeur dans un tableau de paiement prédéterminé. Si le joueur a ou n'a pas assemblé une main de poker de 5 cartes qui est considérée payable, alors toutes cartes restantes sont retournées.
