Description

ELECTRONIC VIDEO POKER GAMES
Background of the Invention This invention relates primarily to electronic video poker games, and more particularly to electronic video poker games that are based on poker hand rankings and allow the player to discard and replace unwanted cards with replacement cards.
Summary of the Invention A disclosed method involves a card game in which at least two rows of cards, and preferably three rows, are dealt to a player. The player makes a wager for each row of cards.
One row of five cards are dealt all face up. The player selects none, one or more of the face up cards from the first row as cards to be held. The cards that are held are duplicated from the first row into all of the other rows. Replacement cards for the non-selected cards are dealt into the first row. Additional cards are also dealt to all of the other rows so that each row is a five card hand. The poker hand ranking of each five card hand by row is determined.
The player is then paid for any winning poker hands based on a pay table and the amount of the player's wager.
In an illustrative embodiment, a video poker machine includes at least one display device, at least one input device and at least one computer. The at least one computer is an essential element of the machine and is configured with the display device and the input device to deal to a player at least a first row and a second row of at least five cards all face up, each row having the same five cards, wherein the first row and the second row of at least five cards are displayed to the player on the same display device. The at least one computer is further configured with the display and input devices to cause a selection of none, one or more of the face up cards from either the first row or the second row as cards to be held, and to automatically cause the same cards selected to be held from one row of cards dealt to be also held in all of the other rows of cards dealt to the same player. The at least one computer is further configured with the display and input devices to discard from each row the cards not selected to be held and replace each of the cards with a face up card, and determine the poker hand ranking of the resulting cards of each row.
In another illustrative embodiment, a video poker machine includes at least one display device, at least one input device and at least one computer. The at least one computer is an essential element of the machine and is configured with the display device and the input device to display to a player on the display device a first hand of at least five cards all face up, to cause a selection of none, one or more of the face up cards from the first hand as cards to be held, to discard from the first hand the cards not selected to be held and replace each of the cards with a face up card, and to determine the poker hand ranking of the resulting cards of the first hand. The at least one computer is further configured with the display and input devices to automatically re-display to the same player on the same display device the cards selected to be held from the first hand dealt into a second hand dealt to the same player, to complete the second hand to have at least five cards by displaying on the same display device additional face up cards, and to determine the poker hand ranking of the resulting cards of the secondhand.
In another illustrative embodiment, a video poker machine includes at least one display device, at least one input device and at least one computer. The at least one computer is an essential element of the machine and is configured with the display device and the input device to deal a first hand of at least five cards all face up to a player, to cause a selection of none, one or more of the face up cards from the first hand as cards to be held, and to automatically duplicate the cards selected to be held from the first hand dealt into a second hand dealt to the same player, the first hand and the second hand being displayed to the same player by the same display device. The at least one computer is further configured with the display and input devices to discard from the first hand the face up cards not selected to be held and replace each of the cards with a face up card, to complete the second hand to have at least five cards by dealing additional face up cards if the cards not selected to be held comprise at least one card, and to determine the poker hand ranking of the resulting cards of the first hand and the second hand.
In another illustrative embodiment, a video poker machine includes a display device, at least one input device and a computer. The computer is an essential element of the machine and is configured with the display device and the at least one input device, for a single play of a card game, to cause the display device to display a first hand of a plurality of cards face up to a player, and to enable none, one or more than one of the face up cards from the first hand to be held by the same player, The computer is further configured with the display and input devices to display to the same player each held card from the first hand in each of a plurality of additional hands, to complete each additional hand such that each additional hand has a predetermined quantity of displayed cards, and to determine the poker hand ranking of the cards of each additional hand.
In another illustrative embodiment, a computer is an essential element and is configured with a display device and at least one input device, for a single play of a card game, to cause the display device to display a first hand of a plurality of cards face up to a player, and to enable none, one or more than one of the face up cards from the first hand to be held by the same player. The computer is further configured with the display and input devices to display to the same player each held card from the first hand in each of a plurality of additional hands, to complete each additional hand such that each additional hand has a predetermined quantity of displayed cards, and to determine the poker hand ranking of the cards of each additional hand.
The plurality of cards of the first hand may include five cards, and the predetermined quantity of displayed cards of each additional hand may include five displayed cards.
Other aspects and features of the present invention will become apparent to those ordinarily skilled in the art upon review of the following description of specific embodiments of the invention in conjunction with the accompanying figures.

Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiments The present invention includes a variety of electronic video poker games. Each electronic video poker game is designed to be played by having the hands displayed on a video screen to a player. By manipulating the buttons on the gaming device or by using conventional touch screen technology, the player selects which cards he wishes to play, which cards he wishes to move from one location to another on the screen display and which cards he wishes to discard. Replacement cards are then displayed for the discarded cards and the outcome of the play of the hand is determined.
Super Slot Poker is a poker-type card game in which three horizontal rows of cards are displayed to the player. This game has a number of variations which will be explained as follows.
Version #1:
Figure 1 shows the layout for the initial deal of this version. Three rows of cards are initially dealt. The center row 310 is dealt face up; the bottom row 320 and the top row 330 are dealt face down. Also, a face down card 311A, 312A, 313A, 314A and 315A is dealt underneath each of the respective face up cards 311, 312, 313, 314 and 315 in the center row 310.
The player makes one, two or three wagers: the first wager is on row 310, the second wager is on row 320 and the third wager is on row 330. Thus, the player is playing one, two or three hands at a time.
The player selects those cards in the center row 310 that he wishes to hold.
The player effects this selection by pressing buttons or, using touch screen technology, by simply pressing the cards on the screen that the player wishes to hold. Each card that is held by the player from the center row 310 is duplicated in the corresponding vertically aligned position in both the bottom row 320 and the top row 330. Therefore, three copies of the held card are now displayed on the screen. The player may hold from zero to five cards from the center row 310.
Figure 2 shows an example of the play of the hand when the player has held card 311, card 312 and card 313 from the center row 310. Card 311, the Ace of Spades, is duplicated in the same aligned position in top row 330 and in bottom row 320. Likewise, card 312, the Jack of Spades, and card 313, the Ten of Spades, are both duplicated in the same aligned positions in top row 330 and bottom row 320.
After the player is satisfied with his selection of replacement cards, the player presses the "deal" button and the two face down cards 324 and 325 in bottom row 320 are revealed.
Similarly, the two face down cards 334 and 335 in top row 330 are revealed.
The two unheld cards 314 and 315 in the center row 310 are replaced with the face down cards underneath them, cards 314A and 315A, and these two cards 314A and 315A are also revealed.
Each row is treated as a separate hand for payout purposes. Each row is evaluated for poker hand ranking and the player is paid based on the amount of his wager on each row depending on the poker hand ranking achieved for that row.
Thus, the player has effectively played three hands at once. The player could win on all three hands, could lose on all three hands, could win on two hands and lose on one hand or could lose on two hands and win on one hand.
In the preferred embodiment of this invention, the method of play uses a standard fifty-two card deck. One or more cards may also be designated as wild cards.
If a player holds less than five cards from the center row, each hand will have different replacement cards so that player has the possibility of achieving various winning combinations.
This game may also be dealt using three separate decks of cards -- the first row being dealt using a first standard fifty two card deck while the second row is dealt using a second deck of forty-seven cards which comprises a standard fifty-two card deck having the player's five initial face up cards shown in the first row omitted therefrom and the third row is dealt using a third deck of forty-seven cards which comprises a standard fifty-two card deck having the player's five initial face up cards shown in the first row omitted therefrom. This would allow the player, for example, to theoretically make three Royal Flushes at the same time.
Special bonus payouts can be added if the player achieves three high ranking hands at the same time. These bonus payouts could be fixed amounts or progressive payouts. For example, the player could win a progressive payout for achieving three Full Houses at the same time.
Version #2: This version is played similarly to Version #1 in that the player can play three hands at once, except for a modification to the manner in which the cards are dealt to the display screen. Figure 3 shows the layout for the initial deal of this version. Three rows of cards are initially dealt. The top row 410 is dealt face up; the center row 420 and the bottom row 430 are dealt face down. Alternatively, any one of the three rows can be the face up cards with the other two rows being the face down cards. Another alternative would have all three hands dealt face up with each hand having the same five cards shown face up.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the player has the option to make one, two or three wagers: the first wager is on row 410, the second wager is on row 420 and the third wager is on row 430. Thus, the player is playing one, two or three hands at a time.
Alternatively, it could be mandatory that the player must wager on all three hands.
As shown in Figure 3, the cards dealt to the top row 410 are the Four of Diamonds 411, the Six of Spades 412, the Six of Hearts 413, the Queen of Spades 414 and the Queen of Clubs 415.
The player selects those cards in the top row 410 that he wishes to hold. The player effects this selection by pressing buttons or, using touch screen technology, by simply pressing the cards on the screen that the player wishes to hold. Each card that is held by the player from the top row 410 is duplicated in the corresponding vertically aligned position in both the center row 420 and the bottom row 430. Therefore, three copies of each of the held cards are now displayed on the screen. The player may hold from zero to five cards from the top row 410.
Figure 4 shows an example of the play of the hand when the player has held card 412, card 413, card 414 and card 415 from the top row 410. Card 412, the Six of Spades, is duplicated in the same aligned position in center row 420 and in bottom row 430. Likewise, card 413, the Six of Hearts; card 414, the Queen of Spades; and card 415, the Queen of Clubs are also duplicated in the same aligned positions in center row 420 and bottom row 430.
In the alternative embodiment of the present invention in which all three hands are displayed face up with the same cards shown in each hand, when the player selects which cards to hold from one row, the same cards in the other two rows are automatically held.
After the player is satisfied with his selection of the held cards for each of the three hands, the player presses the "draw" button, the cards to be discarded are removed from the screen display and replacement cards are dealt for the discarded cards to complete each of the three hands. With regard to the hand in the top row 410, a replacement card is dealt for card 411 which was discarded by the player. As shown in Figure 5, the new card is the Jack of Clubs 416 which does not improve the player's hand in the top row 410 which has a final hand ranking of Two Pair.
With regard to the hand in the center row 420, the last card 421 added to this hand is the Six of Diamonds giving the hand in the center row 420 a final hand ranking of a Full House. With regard to the hand in the bottom row 430, the last card 431 added to this hand is the Ace of Spades giving the hand in the bottom row final hand ranking of Two Pair.
Each row is treated as a separate hand for payout purposes. Each row is evaluated for poker hand ranking and the player is paid based on the amount of his wager on each row depending on the poker hand ranking achieved for that row. A suitable pay table is provided as is conventional for electronic video poker games with the amount of the player's winnings being based on the poker hand ranking achieved and the amount wagered by the player on each hand.
In the preferred embodiment of this version of the present invention, the amount of the player's wager on each hand would be the same. Alternatively, the player could be allowed to make wagers of different amounts on each hand.
Thus, the player has effectively played three hands at once. The player could win on all three hands, could lose on all three hands, could win on two hands and lose on one hand or could lose on two hands and win on one hand.
In the preferred embodiment of this invention, the game is dealt using three separate decks of cards - the first row being dealt using a first standard fifty two card deck while the second row is dealt using a second deck of forty-seven cards which comprises a standard fifty-two card deck having the player's five initial face up cards shown in the first row omitted therefrom and the third row is dealt using a third deck of forty-seven cards which comprises a standard fifty-two card deck having the player's five initial face up cards shown in the first row omitted therefrom. This would allow the player, for example, to theoretically make three Royal Flushes (or any other three hands of the same rank) at the same. time.
This is accomplished using the computer controls that operate the gaming machine with the software being written so that the second and third decks used to deal the second and third hands, respectively, have removed therefrom the five cards initially dealt.
Alternatively, the method of play can also use only one standard fifty-two card deck.
In this alternative, each of the three rows will receive different replacement cards from the deck for those cards that are discarded. For example, if a player holds less than five cards from the top row 410, each hand will receive different replacement cards so that player has the possibility of achieving various winning combinations.
In either the multiple deck embodiment or the single deck embodiment, one or more cards may alternatively be designated as wild cards or one or more Jokers may be added to the deck or decks and designated as wild cards. This allows the methods of the present disclosure to be applied to any of the various wild card video poker games that are known in the art, such as Deuces Wild or Joker's Wild.
Special bonus payouts can be added if the player achieves, either on the deal or after the draw, three hands of the same rank at the same time. These bonus payouts could be fixed amounts or progressive payouts. For example, the player could win a progressive payout for achieving three Full Houses at the same time. As another example when three decks are used, the player can receive a large fixed or progressive payout if the player achieves the same poker hand in each of the three rows - such as a Royal Flush in Spades in all three rows.
Another alternative to Version #2 would be to reduce the three rows shown to only two rows and otherwise practice the method of this version as described. The player would make two wagers to play the two rows and select the cards initially dealt that would be used in each of the two rows. Replacement cards would be provided to complete the hands in each of the two rows and winning and losing hands would be determined in the same manner as described above with reference to the three rows.
Likewise, the method of play described in Version #2 could also be modified by increasing the number of rows to four or more, with five rows being the preferred number of rows for this alternative. Again if four or more rows are used, the method of play would be the same as that described above with reference to the three rows. In order to show four or more rows of cards at the same time on a video screen display, a larger video monitor may be required.
In order to adopt this alternative of four or more rows of cards to the smaller video monitors often used in video poker gaming machines, the display of the play of this method can be modified. The player would initially make a multiple coin or credit wager representing the number of rows that the player wishes to play during that round of the game. The minimum number of coins or credits wagered would be two with the maximum being any number desired. A first hand of five cards would initially be dealt to the player. The player would select which of five cards, if any, the player wishes to hold and then replacement cards would be dealt for the discarded cards. The winning or losing outcome of this first hand would then be determined.
For the second hand, the cards held by the player from the first hand would then be redisplayed on the video screen and additional cards would be dealt to complete the player's second hand. Again, the winning or losing outcome of this second hand would be determined.
The steps of redisplaying the held cards from the first hand and the dealing of cards to complete the hand would be repeated for each wager made by the player until the total number of hands originally wagered by the player is completed.
In this seriatim alternative method of play, each hand is completed by using a separate deck of cards (which have the first five cards removed therefrom so as to eliminate the possibility of duplicated cards being dealt as replacement cards).
Alternatively, a single deck of cards can be used as the source for both the initial five cards and the additional cards used to complete each of the multiple hands.
One modification to these versions involves the addition of bonus round which the player earns based on achieving certain hand combinations. If the player qualifies for a bonus round, the player is dealt five cards at random from the deck. Each card is initially displayed on the video screen face down and are turned over one at a time. The player is paid if this bonus hand qualifies for the bonus award pay table. A jackpot, which is either fixed amount of a progressive jackpot, can be paid for a Royal Flush or even a sequential Royal Flush.
Alternatively, the bonus round may be dealt at the end of or during every round of the game giving the player a chance to win the bonus payout each round of the game. Further, the bonus round may require the player to make an additional wager to participate.
Other modifications may be made to the method of play of these versions which differ only in the number of rows of cards. These versions can be played using two, four or five rows on five cards each. An example of one of these modifications would be Version #3.
Version #3. This version is played similar to either Version #1 or Version #2, except that there are two additional rows of face down cards. Thus, there are a total of five rows of cards with only the center row being face up on the initial deal. As in Version #1, the center row also has an underlying row of face down cards on the initial deal.
The play of this version is essentially the same as Version #1 except that the player is now effectively playing five hands of video poker at the same time instead of only three hands at a time as in Version #1. Each card that the player selects to be held is duplicated into the two face down rows directly below the held card as well as the two face down rows directly above the held card.
The method of play of this Version #3 also creates additional five card stud hands of replacement cards in each of the vertical columns. Special payouts or progressive or non-progressive jackpots may be awarded for high ranking stud hands that may be formed in these vertical columns such as a Full House, a Royal Flush or even a sequential Royal Flush.
While the invention has been illustrated with respect to several specific embodiments thereof, these embodiments should be considered as illustrative rather than limiting. Various modifications and additions may be made and will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
Accordingly, the invention should not be limited by the described embodiments, but rather should be defined only by the following claims.
