A video implemented casino card game deals multiple hands. In a preferred embodiment the game includes a means for simulating a plurality of players on a game display. Each simulated player is dealt a hand of cards pursuant to a predetermined card game selected by a game player. Subsequent to the initial deal, the game player selects which hand to play. Once the hand has been selected, each hand is fully played. Only the game player's hand is fully revealed during play. Based on the game player's final cards, the player is paid according to a pay table. Thereafter, all hands are revealed and the game player is paid a bonus amount if the player's selected hand is the highest hand of the dealt hands. In a card game requiring a draw, or decision, unselected card hands are played according to a preprogrammed methodology within a gaming machine's internal microprocessor.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION An object of the present invention is to provide a more exciting and realistic video poker experience.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a simulated live poker game on an electronic apparatus.
Another object of the present invention is to provide multiple independent payouts based on a single poker hand whereby a bonus payout is based on a game player's resultant hand being the highest hand displayed.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a player a choice of multiple variations of poker games (i.
e.
hold'em and stud) not typically offered by a traditional video poker machine.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a means for a video poker machine to play poker hands pursuant to a preprogrammed method of play.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a more realistic experience by dealing cards in their traditional manner to multiple simulated players rather than dealing a single hand off the "top of the deck.
" Another object of the present invention is to provide a fold option such that players may recover a portion of their initial wager when a portion of a dealt hand appears unlikely to result in a payout.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide one or more bonuses not possible with traditional video poker games.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Unlike traditional video poker machines, which typically deal only five card draw poker, the present invention allows players to select from multiple variations of additional poker games.
For example, hold'em, seven card stud, five card stud, five card draw, etc.
, and variations thereof can be played under the present invention.
The present invention adds excitement to traditional video poker by implementing additional player decisions and implementing a bonus payout based on a player's poker hand in comparison to other displayed poker hands.
As a result, a gaming machine of the present invention initially deals multiple poker hands from which a player must decide which hand to play
