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 that allow the player to discard and replace unwanted cards with replacement cards. The present invention has many versions with the common thread being that cards are duplicated from a first row of cards into one or more additional rows to allow the player the opportunity to play one or more cards from the staring row of cards multiple times. The invention also involves features which may apply to casino table games as well.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The method of the present invention 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 is determined row by row. The player is then paid for any winning poker hands based on a pay table and the amount of the player's wager.

As an example, FIG. 1 shows the first hand 20 comprising five cards 21, 22, 23, 24 14 and 25 all displayed face down. The second hand 40 comprises five face up cards--the Ace of Spades 41, the King of Spades 42, the Ten of Spades 42, the Four of Hearts 44 and the Three of Clubs 45.
At the same time that this is occurring, all five cards from the first hand 20 are turned face up and displayed to the player. This results in two five card hands being displayed to the player on the screen display as shown in FIG. 2. Any cards from the first hand 20 that are also used as replacement cards in the second hand 40 are therefore displayed twice on the screen display.
Payout schedules are provided for both the five card stud hand 20 and the five card draw hand 40 and a player is paid amounts based on the amount of his wager on each hand according to the payout schedule which is based on poker hand rankings as in conventional video or electronic poker machines.
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.
Version #2H: This version is played similarly to Version #2G 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. FIG. 14 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.
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.
Likewise, the method of play described in Version #2H 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 version. 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.
For example, FIG. 17 shows a screen display with five rows. The player makes appropriate wagers on one or more rows. The lowermost row is displayed first with all five cards face up. The player selects which cards he wishes to hold from the lowermost row and these cards are duplicated into all of the other rows on which the player has wagered. Replacement cards are dealt for the unselected cards in the lowermost row and additional cards are provided to complete each five card hand in the other rows. In one embodiment of this five row version, a single deck of cards can be used for all of the rows.
However, the preferred embodiment of this version uses five separate decks of cards--the first row being dealt using a first standard fifty-two card deck while the second, third, fourth and fifth rows are dealt using separate decks 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 five Royal Flushes (or any other five card 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 additional separate decks used to deal the additional hands have removed therefrom the five cards initially dealt in the first row.
FIG. 18 shows another initial row display in which ten rows of cards are displayed to the player. The player makes appropriate wagers on one or more rows up to a total of ten rows to play all ten rows. Again, the lowermost row is displayed first with all five cards face up. The player selects which cards he wishes to hold from the lowermost row and these cards are duplicated into all of the other rows on which the player has wagered. Replacement cards are dealt for the unselected cards in the lowermost row and additional cards are provided to complete each five card hand in the other rows. In one embodiment of this ten row version, a single deck of cards can be used for all of the rows.
However, the preferred embodiment of this version uses ten separate decks of cards--the first row being dealt using a first standard fifty-two card deck while the second through tenth rows are dealt using separate decks 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 ten Royal Flushes (or any other five card 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 additional separate decks used to deal the additional hands have removed therefrom the five cards initially dealt in the first row.
FIG. 19 shows a different way of displaying the ten rows. When the initial lowermost row is dealt, all five of the face up cards from this initial row are also displayed in the other nine rows. The player selects which cards he wishes to hold from the lowermost row and these cards are automatically held in all of the other rows on which the player has wagered. Replacement cards are dealt for the unselected cards in the lowermost row and all of the other rows. The game otherwise proceeds as described in connection with FIG. 18. Either a single deck of cards or ten separate decks of cards are used.
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. This seriatim method of play can be applied whenever two or more rows are desired to be played.
One modification to these versions involves the addition of a 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 or a progressive jackpot, can be paid for a Royal Flush or even a sequential Royal Flush.
Version #2K. Another alternative method of play of the present invention would have two or more rows of five or more cards all dealt face up with each row having the same cards shown face up. In the preferred embodiment of this version #2K, three rows are displayed face up with each row having the same five cards shown in each hand. As shown in the example in FIG. 20, row 510 is dealt with five cards--the Four of Diamonds 511, the Six of Spades 512, the Six of Hearts 513, the Queen of Spades 514 and the Queen of Clubs 515; row 520 is dealt with five cards--the Four of Diamonds 521, the Six of Spades 522, the Six of Hearts 523, the Queen of Spades 524 and the Queen of Clubs 525; and row 530 is dealt with five cards--the Four of Diamonds 531, the Six of Spades 532, the Six of Hearts 533, the Queen of Spades 534 and the Queen of Clubs 535. The player can then select which cards to hold from any one of the rows and these cards selected by the player are automatically held in the other two rows. Again with reference to the example shown in FIG. 17, the player would most likely hold the Six of Spades, the Six of Hearts, the Queen of Spades and the Queen of Clubs. Whichever cards are selected by the player will automatically be held in each of the rows.
Each row then receives replacement cards for the cards that are discarded, preferably from separate decks for each row. The player has three final five card hands and wins or loses on each hand separately based on a pay table which shows the winning hand combinations. If the player has a winning hand, the amount won by the player is based on the amount wagered by the player on that particular row and the poker hand ranking of the cards in that row.
Version #2L. Another alternative method of play of the present invention would have two or more rows of five or more cards all dealt face up from a single deck of cards so that each row is dealt having different cards shown face up. In the preferred embodiment of this version #2L, three rows are displayed face up with each row having different five card hands. Each card in the first row is vertically aligned in a column with adjacent cards in the other rows. As shown in the example in FIG. 21, row 550 is dealt with five cards--the Four of Hearts 551, the Five of Clubs 552, the Ace of Diamonds 553, the Six of Spades 554 and the Queen of Diamonds 555; row 560 is dealt with five cards--the Ace of Hearts 561, the Queen of Clubs 562, the Eight of Spades 563, the Ten of Hearts 564 and the Jack of Clubs 565; and row 570 is dealt with five cards--the King of Clubs 571, the Ace of Clubs 572, the Six of Hearts 573, the Two of Hearts 574 and the Jack of Spades 575. The player can then select which cards to hold from any one of the rows (but only one card may be selected from any vertical column) and these cards selected by the player are automatically held in the other two rows. Again with reference to the example shown in FIG. 21, the player would most likely hold the Ace of Hearts 561 from row 560, the Ace of Diamonds 553 from row 550 and the Ace of Clubs 572 from row 570. Whichever cards are selected by the player will automatically be held in each of the other two rows. In this example, the player ends up with three rows each having three Aces. All other cards are discarded.
In another variation of this Version #2L, the player is dealt three rows of cards from a single deck as described above in connection with the basic method of Version #2L. Each row will have different cards. However, instead of the player selecting cards from any row, the player first selects one of the rows to play--but in can be any row displayed. For example with reference again to FIG. 21, the player could select either row 550, 560 or 570, but only one of those rows. The selected row of cards is duplicated into the other two rows. The player then selects none, one or more of the face up cards from any one of the rows as cards to be held and the selected cards are then held in the other rows. Unselected cards are then discarded.
In addition to five card rows, the method of the present invention can also be applied to six, seven or more card rows. Winning hand combinations can be based on six card poker hand, seven card poker hands or even more card poker hands. Alternatively, the winning hand combinations can be based on the best five card poker hand out of the six, seven or even more cards in the row.
The concepts of the present invention can also be applied to a casino game known as DOUBLE DOWN STUD No. 5,100,137 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,167,413, the disclosures of each of which are incorporated herein by this reference. In DOUBLE DOWN STUD poker, the player makes a first wager and is dealt four cards all face up. The player may make an additional wager prior to receiving the fifth card. After the fifth card is dealt, the five card hand is compared to a pay table to determine if the player has a winning or losing card combination based on poker hand ranking.
In the present invention, the player makes a separate wager for each row that the player wishes to play. The player is dealt four cards face up and a fifth card face down for each row that the player has made a wager. Each row has the same four cards as the face up cards.
If the face down cards are dealt from the same deck, each fifth face down card is different. If the face down cards are dealt each from its own deck (after the initial four face up cards have been removed), then each fifth face down card could or could not be the same.
As shown in FIG. 22, the preferred embodiment of this version uses three rows and the player has made a wager on each of the three rows. For example, the player has been dealt in row 610 the Ace of Hearts 611, the King of Hearts 612, the Queen of Hearts 613, the Jack of hearts 614 and a fifth card face down. Two more rows of identical face up cards are dealt--row 620 with the Ace of Hearts 621, the King of Hearts 622, the Queen of Hearts 623, the Jack of Hearts 624 and a fifth card face down and row 630 with the Ace of Hearts 631, the King of Hearts 632, the Queen of Hearts 633, the Jack of Hearts 634 and a fifth card face down.
The player then decides whether to double his wager on each row. Then the fifth card in each row is displayed face up and the player wins or loses on each row depending on the poker hand ranking of the five cards. Winning hands are paid based on a pay table and the amount of the player's wager.
Multi-Hand Stud Version #3
The present invention also includes multi-hand stud poker methods of play in which at least four rows of stud poker hands are dealt to the player.
Version #3A
In this version #3A, at least four rows of five cards hands are dealt to the player, each row being dealt from its own deck of cards. Prior to the deal, the player makes a wager on the bottommost row and then all four rows are dealt. The bottommost row has one card face up and four cards face down. The next row has two cards face up (with the face up card from the previous row duplicated into this row) and three cards face down. The next row has three cards face up (with the two face up cards from the previous row duplicated into this row) and two cards face down. The top row has four cards face up (with the three face up cards from the previous row duplicated into this row) and one card face down.
If the face down cards are dealt from the same deck, each face down card is different. If the face down cards for each row are dealt each from its own deck (after the face up cards have been removed), then the face down cards in each row could or could not repeat.
An example of a deal of version #3A is shown in FIG. 23. Bottommost row 710 has the Ace of Hearts 711 and four face down cards 712, 713, 714 and 715. The next row 720 has the Ace of Hearts 721, the King of Hearts 722 and three face down cards 723, 724 and 725. The next row 730 has the Ace of Hearts 731, the King of Hearts 732, the Queen of Hearts 733 and two face down cards 734 and 735. The top row 740 has the Ace of Hearts 741, the King of Hearts 742, the Queen of Hearts 743, the Jack of Hearts 744 and one face down card 745.
The player is now given the option of wagering on other rows besides row 710. If the player wishes to wager on other rows, he must bet them in order from bottom to top; e.g. if the player wishes to wager on row 740 he must also wager on rows 720 and 730, besides the initial wager that he made on row 710. After the player has decided how many rows he wishes to wager on, the remaining face down card in each row is revealed and a complete five card stud poker hand is displayed.
The poker hand ranking of each row is determined and, if the player has achieved a winning hand combination, the player is paid based on the amount of his wager on that row and the poker hand ranking achieved as shown in a pay table displayed on the gaming machine.
Version #3B
Version #3B is similar to version #3A except that there are five rows of cards to be dealt to the player and the first row has all five cards face down. Prior to the deal, the player makes a wager on the bottommost row and then all five rows are dealt. The bottommost row has all five cards face down. The next row has one card face up and four cards face down. The next row has two cards face up (with the face up card from the previous row duplicated into this row) and three cards face down. The next row has three cards face up (with the two face up cards from the previous row duplicated into this row) and two cards face down. The top row has four cards face up (with the three face up cards from the previous row duplicated into this row) and one card face down.
An example of a deal of version #3B is shown in FIG. 24. The bottommost row 810 has five face down cards 811, 812, 813, 814 and 815. The next row 820 has the Ace of Hearts 821 and four face down cards 822, 823, 824 and 825. The next row 830 has the Ace of Hearts 831, the King of Hearts 832 and three face down cards 833, 834 and 835. The next row 840 has the Ace of Hearts 841, the King of Hearts 842, the Queen of Hearts 843 and two face down cards 844 and 845. The top row 850 has the Ace of Hearts 851, the King of Hearts 852, the Queen of Hearts 853, the Jack of Hearts 854 and one face down card 855.
The player is now given the option of wagering on other rows besides row 810. If the player wishes to wager on other rows, he must bet them in order from bottom to top; e.g. if the player wishes to wager on row 850 he must also wager on rows 820, 830 and 840, besides the initial wager that he made on row 810. After the player has decided how many rows he wishes to wager on, the remaining face down card in each row is revealed and a complete five card stud poker hand is displayed.
Version #3C
This version #3C is similar to the first two versions except that each row has the same number of face up cards of the same rank and suit and can be played with as little as two rows of cards. The player makes a wager on at least the first row of cards. At least two rows of cards are dealt with three cards face up and two cards face down.
An example of a deal of version #3C is shown in FIG. 25 in which three rows are used which is the preferred embodiment. The top row 910 has the Ace of Hearts 911, the King of Hearts 912 and the Queen of Hearts 913 and two face down cards 914 and 915. The middle row 920 has the Ace of Hearts 921, the King of Hearts 922 and the Queen of Hearts 923 and two face down cards 924 and 925. The bottom row 930 has the Ace of Hearts 931, the King of Hearts 932 and the Queen of Hearts 933 and two face down cards 934 and 935.
The player is now given the option of wagering on other rows besides row 910. If the player wishes to wager on other rows, he must bet them in order from top to bottom using the same amount of wager that he made on the top row; e.g. if the player wishes to wager on row 930 he must also wager on row 920, besides the initial wager that he made on row 910. After the player has decided how many rows he wishes to wager on, the remaining face down cards in each row are revealed and a complete five card stud poker hand is displayed.
Version #3D
This version #3D is similar to version #3C except that it uses four face up cards and one face down card. Each row has the same number of face up cards of the same rank and suit and can be played with as little as two rows of cards. The player makes a wager on at least the first row of cards. At least two rows of cards are dealt with four cards face up and one card face down.
An example of a deal of version #3D is shown in FIG. 26 in which three rows are used which is the preferred embodiment.

The middle row 960 has the Ace of Hearts 961, the King of Hearts 962, the Queen of Hearts 963, the Jack of Hearts 964 and one face down card 965. The bottom row 970 has the Ace of Hearts 971, the King of Hearts 972, the Queen of Hearts 973, the Jack of Hearts 974 and one face down card 975.
The player is now given the option of wagering on other rows besides row 950. If the player wishes to wager on other rows, he must bet them in order from top to bottom using the same amount of wager that he made on the top row; e.g. if the player wishes to wager on row 970 he must also wager on row 960, besides the initial wager that he made on row 950. After the player has decided how many rows he wishes to wager on, the remaining face down cards in each row are revealed and a complete five card stud poker hand is displayed.
