  • Patent number: 7513503
    Abstract: A method of playing a modified poker game includes the steps of providing a deck of playing cards and predetermining minimum wagers for each round of play. Players are dealt four hole cards and a community of four cards is established, 3 with their faces disposed toward the playing surface and one disposed with its face opposite the playing surface. A round of betting is held, at the conclusion of which one community card formerly with its face disposed toward the playing surface is disposed with its face opposite the playing surface. Another round of betting ensues. Successive rounds follow this pattern, until all community cards are disposed with their respective faces disposed opposite the playing surface. Utilizing the player's four hole cards and the four community cards, the player with the highest-ranking 5-card poker hand is declared the winner.
