Description

    RELATED APPLICATIONS
  • The present application is a continuation-in-part of co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/488,499, which was filed on Jun. 19, 2009, and claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser.

  • 2. Description of the Related Art
  • Televised gaming, and in particular, televised poker events, has resulted in casino poker growing from perhaps only two tables in the Las Vegas of 1976 to where there are now hundreds of such games and many thousands of players.
  • To continue this interest in poker games there is a need to provide both player-versus-player games and “stud” forms of poker where players play against a house dealer—with both preferably played at standard gaming tables.

In both cases, such new games should provide appropriate mixes of skill and luck, along with faster play times, both to increase excitement as well as provide more income for the house.
