FOUR-CARD POKER GAME WITH VARIABLE WAGER

摘要

A casino game utilizes at least one deck of playing cards. Each player places at least one wager to participate in the casino game. A first number of cards is dealt to a dealer. The first number of cards is greater than the number of cards to be used in determination of a poker rank hand for the dealer. A second number of cards is dealt to each player. The second number of cards is greater than the number of cards to be used in determination of a poker rank hand for each player. The dealer discards at least one card to form a resulting single dealer hand. Each player discards at least one card to form a resulting player's hand. The number of cards in the resulting player's hand is equal to the number of cards in the resulting dealer's hand. Each player hand is resolved against the dealer's hand according to predetermined game rules. The player's initial wager must at least be matched with a Game bet (or Play bet) to remain in the game after the player has received his cards. The Game bet may be a multiple of the player's initial wager, for example, 1× to 5× the initial wager, or more.
