  • Patent number: 5984309
    Abstract: A novel card game wherein each player forms a front hand and a back hand with wagers made on the front hand and back hand with a wager made for a sweep pool bet. The front hands of all players are compared to each other using the ranking rules of regular poker to determine the front hand winner. The back hands of all players are compared to each other also using the ranking rules of regular poker to determine the back hand winner. Any player who makes a sweep pool wager and also wins both the front hand and the back hand on any one distribution of cards wins the total amount in the sweep pool or if there is no sweep pool winner then all sweep pool wagers are added to the prior amount of the sweep pool.
