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. The same process will continue till the player attains the winning hand or the player has exhausted the allotted 7 tries and thus, loses his bet. When playing against the machine, 6 cards are also dealt to the machine face-down. The player and machine are then take turns to draw and discard cards till either one attains the 7 cards with the winning hand. The machine is programmed to play the game with the optimal skill. The player and the machine have equal chance to win the game. The player wins the bet if the player attains the winning hand first before the 7th tries.
