         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the existing first winning sequence is compared with the winning sequence based on a set of playing cards already on the gaming table and the set of playing cards composing the flop. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the winning sequence is created during at least one of the following stages:
 a preflop stage;   a flop stage; and   a turn come out stage.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein both the winning sequence and the existing first winning sequence prevail over the lower value winning sequence on the gaming table. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising restricting entry of the winning sequence and the first winning sequence into the lower value winning sequence such that prejudice against an equally likely winning situation for the lower value winning sequence is overcome. 
     
     
         9 . A method for comparing strength of a plurality of hands in a betting game played on a gaming table in a gaming system, the method comprising:

         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the creating a winning sequence for a best combination of a predetermined number of playing cards for a flop sequence of the betting game comprises: a best combination of five cards winning a playing hand; and a best combination of five cards winning a playing hand when a flop reaches a playing turn. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein counting a strength of a best pair of cards for a preflop sequence of the betting game comprises counting strength of best pair of cards and not counting a potential strength of a playing hand for a preflop sequence. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the assigning prevailing priority to a freeze winning sequence over remaining winning sequences on the gaming table in the gaming system comprises assigning prevailing priority to a stronger preflop sequence.
