Abstract: The invention is similar to the Blackjack game and simpler than Mahjong that can be easily learned and played at home among friends or in the Las Vegas type casinos with strangers. The standard 52 poker cards are used. The game can be played by two people up to more than 10 people. Each player is dealt with 2 cards face-down to start the game. Then, each player takes turn to either draw a card from the top of the remaining deck or take the discarded card from the preceding player. The objective is to come up with a 3-card hand of 21 points. A simple logic and choice are made in the anticipation of the 3rd card in order to derive and achieve a winning hand of 21 points before the other players do. The winner collects a fixed bet from a single player or everyone depending on where the winning card comes from.

Abstract: The invention is similar to the Video Poker game where a single player is playing against oneself or the machine. The standard 52 poker cards are used. When playing against oneself, after placing the bet, the cards are shuffled and 6 cards are dealt face-up and displayed on the video screen. The player starts by drawing the 7th card from the remaining deck. The objective is to come up with a 7-card hand with the winning combination. The winning pattern consists of 2 cards of the same ranking (a Pair) and 5 cards of the poker hand (Royal Flush, Straight Flush, Four-of-a-Kind, Full House, Flush and Straight). If the 7 cards displayed on the video screen are one of the winning combinations, the player collects the assigned payout based on his bet. If the 7 cards are not the winning hand, the player can discard a card and a replacement card is dealt from the remaining 52-card deck.

Abstract: The invention is similar to the Poker card game and simpler than Mahjong that can be easily learned and played at home among friends or in the Las Vegas type casinos. The standard 52 poker cards are used. The game can be played by two people up to a maximum of seven people. Each player is dealt with six cards face-down to start the game. Then, each player takes turn to either get a card from the remaining deck or take the discarded card from the preceding player. The objective is to come up with a 7-card hand with the winning pattern. The winning pattern consists of 2 cards of the same ranking (a Pair) and 5 cards of the poker hand (Royal Flush, Straight Flush, Four-of-a-Kind, Full House, Flush and Straight). Unlike the Poker game, there is no betting and bluffing. A simple logic and choice are made in the anticipation of the 7th card in order to derive and achieve a winning hand before the other players do. The winner collects a wager from each player depending on the specific winning hand.
