Abstract

The method of playing a card game and includes randomly associating cards from a first virtual deck of cards with a set of numbers of a card selecting section ( 12 ) so that each number is associated with a different card. A predetermined number of numbers is selected and cards are displayed face down in a first card display ( 40 ). A first player activates a confirm command ( 28 ) to display faces of a first poker hand ( 56 ). The first player submits a first bet to a first pot of a first game. The method also includes randomly associating cards from a second virtual deck of cards with a set of numbers of the card-selecting section ( 12 ). A predetermined number of numbers is selected by a second player from the card-selecting section ( 12 ) associated with a second virtual deck of cards. The cards are displayed and the second player activates the confirm command ( 28 ) to display faces of the second poker hand. The second player submits a second bet to the first pot of the first game. The first player wins a portion of the first pot of the first game when the first poker hand is better than the second poker hand. The second player wins a portion of the pot when the second poker hand is better than the first poker hand.
