METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR PLAYING VIDEO POKER WITH A CARD REPLICATING FUNCTION

摘要

A video poker game is disclosed that provides the player in opportunity to create additional winning game outcomes by forming separate secondary game plays from the primary game play. The secondary game plays are created from indicia in the primary game play that are replicated into the secondary game plays. Only primary game play indicia that at least partially satisfy a predetermined winning game outcome determined for each specific secondary game play may be replicated. The predetermined winning game outcome is selected from a plurality of winning game outcomes. Consequently, a winning game outcome for each secondary game play is limited to less then all the possible game outcomes, or as the primary game may potentially win any of the possible game outcomes.
