Abstract: A method and apparatus for casino slot games in which at least two and preferably three games are linked together by displaying the two or three games on one video display device. The games are linked through the initial cards displayed for each game, and their bets and their outcomes. A computer calculates the probabilities of all bets and outcomes during the betting rounds in real time. As a result of the so chained games the player makes decisions in multiple betting rounds in insufficient information about the game outcomes. At any time during the game play the player can evaluate the game outcomes as presented to him by the computer and either play the next successive game or simply finish the game with no penalty.

Abstract: A new concept for designing casino slot games The game links together more than one game through their bets and their outcomes. All the bets and outcomes form a multidimensional matrix. A computer calculates the probabilities of all bets and outcomes during the betting rounds in real time. As a result of the so chained slot games the player makes decisions in multiple betting rounds in insufficient information about the game outcomes. At any time during the game play the player can evaluate the game outcomes as presented to him by the computer and raise his bet, proceed to the next betting round without changing the bet, or simply finish the game with no penalty.

Abstract: A multitier video poker game that is played by a single player which displays a first tier compulsory base poker hand and optional tiered bonus poker hands. The base poker hand is a traditionally played five card draw video poker hand, where the player makes a wager prior to the hand being dealt to him, and his final hand is evaluated against a prior stipulated pay schedule. After playing this hand the player is provided with an option to wager on additional tiers of bonus poker hands which are dealt face up from independent standard decks. The game dynamically calculates or searches in a pre-calculated and statically stored lookup table the probability of all possible hands in respect to the bonus poker hands and assigns awards to the set of predefined winning hand categories so that all possible hold strategies are available and converge to a desired hold percentage.

Abstract: A system and method for presenting a player with simulated poker play is disclosed, where the result is actually based on a predetermined outcome. In order to create a realistic play scenario, the present invention never corrects or overrides a player's choices during the play of a hand. Rather, a new solution which incorporates a specially indicated bonus wheel or symbol is used. If a player makes choices while playing a hand that precludes the game machine from creating a needed final value corresponding to a predetermined win amount, a bonus is created to make up any difference. In addition, the way in which the apparent bonus is implemented includes seemingly random bonus awards, allowing both good and poor poker players to receive such bonuses. This further increases the realism of the play.
