A modified video poker game where the game initially assigns five cards to the player and the player can then select one of thirty two possible discard strategies to replace any number of the five cards. The video poker game computes the expected value of each discard strategy and then determines which discard strategy is the optimum strategy. If the player selects a discard strategy other than the optimum discard strategy, the award values for winning combinations of cards are adjusted from their default values so that when the expected value of the selected discard strategy is calculated using the adjusted awards, it is substantially equal to the expected value of the optimum strategy calculated using the default awards. The adjusted award values are then displayed on the video screen permitting the player to evaluate the potential awards corresponding to this discard strategy prior to requesting the video poker game to deal the corresponding replacement cards thereby allowing the player to evaluate and select between different, non-optimum, discard strategies. |
