Throw away poker

Abstract

The method of the present invention utilizes the existing electronic video poker machine (that is standard to the industry) to display two separate sets of cards or multiple sets of cards on a standard video poker machine video screen. The apparition screen or picture in a picture screen format will give a picture of a separate set of cards dealt by a separate microprocessor at the same time as the first microprocessor; or, a single microprocessor can be programmed to display two separate sets of cards on a standard video poker machine video screen. The present invention allows the player to choose which screen to play by making an additional wager.

1 . A method of playing a card game on a video screen comprising of dealing an initial two sets of hands (ten cards) in two separate locations on a video screen the main screen and a secondary screen by means of; 
 a) two cards face up and three cards face down in the secondary screen and by means of;    b) five cards face up in the main screen on a video monitor or screen.    
   
   
       2 . The method of playing a card game on a video screen comprising dealing an initial two sets of hands (fifteen cards) in two separate locations on a video screen the main screen and a secondary screen by means of; 
 a) six cards face up and nine cards face down in the secondary screen and by means of;    b) fifteen cards face up in the main screen on a video monitor or screen.    
   
   
       3 . A method of displaying two card games on a video screen simultaneously in two different locations by use of a microprocessor dealing two separate hands of cards at the same moment in time that is activated by a coin acceptor or bill validator.  
   
   
       4 . A method of dealing two separate hands of cards in two different locations on a video screen using two microprocessors coupled to one coin acceptor or bill validator that triggers the microprocessors to do so.  
   
   
       5 . A method of dealing two separate hands of cards in two different locations on a video screen using one microprocessor coupled to one coin acceptor or bill validator that triggers the microprocessors to do so.  
   
   
       6 . A method of erasing one set of cards dealt by a microprocessor on a video screen by use of a replace button located on a touch screen of a video display.  
   
   
       7 . A method of erasing one set of cards dealt by two microprocessors on a video screen by use of a replace button located on a touch screen of a video display and isolating one of the microprocessors into hibernation until the hand acted upon is complete.
