  • Patent number: 5928081
    Abstract: A card game affords each player an opportunity to wager his hand as having a poker rank higher or lower than all other players. A dealer deals a first deal of one card face down to each player followed by a second deal of one card face up to each player. Thereafter, players either wager or fold. The dealer then proceeds to deal one card face down to all remaining players and places one card face up on the table as a community card available to all players. After a further round of wagering, the face down cards of all players are exposed and a high hand winner is selected as the player having the highest rank three card hand among all players. Similarly, the low hand winner is selected as the player having the best low rank three card hand among all players. The total pot of wagers is divided between the high hand and best low hand winners.

  • Patent number: 5810663
    Abstract: In a high/low card game, individual players place an ante and are dealt three cards, face down while the dealer is dealt four cards, one of which is face up and the others, face down. Players may then fold, and forfeit their ante or bet. Their hand is either a high hand or a low hand against the dealer. Any three of the dealer's four cards are employed to present a high hand and any three of the dealer's cards are also employed to present a low hand. If the dealer's high hand and low hand are not of predetermined rank, the respective high hand and low hand players win prescribed odds on their bet dependent upon the rank of their hand and keep their ante. If the dealer's hand is of higher rank than the hand of a player who has bet for a high hand or of lower rank than a player who has bet for a low hand and the dealer's rank was sufficient to qualify, the respective betting players lose both the ante and their bet.
