Abstract: A video poker game incorporating a bonus award predicated on the strengths of a poker hand formed by initially dealt cards and replacement cards in combination. Other optional bonus awards are based on consecutive cards forming a winning poker hand and/or the winning cards being in sequence. The game is facilitated by a bonus hand displayed below or above a primary hand on a gaming device display. As five initial cards are dealt in a primary hand location they are simultaneously dealt in one or more bonus hand locations. Then, when replacement cards are dealt into the primary hand in the place of any discards, they are also dealt into the one or more bonus hand locations adjacent to the initial cards. The cards in the bonus hand are then evaluated to determine whether a bonus award has been won. It is also disclosed in another version that regardless of the number of replacement cards, the bonus hand is always formed of ten cards.
