<p>An electronic device (10) for simulating the play of a selected card game, namely Gin Rummy, or Go Draw, by user interaction with a microcomputer. The device is self-contained in a housing (10, 12) and comprises a display (18) and input keys (20-26). The input keys are designated "draw" (20), "select" (21), "discard" (22), "deal" (23), "comp" (24), "score" (25), and "off-on" (26), and are activated by the user and controlled by the microcomputer to take various steps of game play. The display (18) contains the words "No", "Thanks", "33", "Score", "Go Draw", "My Cards", "Gin", "", "*", and the 52 cards of a standard card deck. The circuitry comprises a deal controls circuit (34) which controls dealing electronic cards represented by display locations corresponding to the 52 cards. A computer hand (36) and an human operator hand (38) are dealt from a deck (40) simulated by a single chip microprocessor. </p> |
