Abstract: An auxiliary pot shot video poker game and a poker table surface comprise a variety of unique and independent betting positions such as No Pair. A player betting on No Pair may place their bet or wager that the end outcome of poker game play will be that their hand will represent no pair, a poor outcome. Other positions of the auxiliary game may comprise one pair of 2's through 10's, one pair of Jack's through Aces, two pair, three of a kind, a straight, a full house and so on with generally increasing pay-offs as the likelihood of receiving the predicted outcome poker hand decreases. However, because these bets are independent the payoffs may be much larger than a pay-off for a standard video poker or poker table game. As a poker game continues and cards are dealt, a player of the auxiliary game may receive compensation for bets on predicted outcomes with automatically calculated pay-offs depending on the wagers places.
