Abstract
An electronic gaming machine includes a game controller configured to select a first plurality of card symbols to form a player hand for a player, wherein the first plurality of card symbols include a plurality of hole cards dealt only to the player and at least one community card. The game controller is also configured to select a second plurality of card symbols to form a jackpot hand, and determine whether at least one card symbol of the first plurality of card symbols matches at least one card symbol of the second plurality of card symbols. The game controller is also configured to adjust, based on the determining, a credit balance of the player by a value associated with a jackpot award based upon a number of hole cards in the player hand that match card symbols in the jackpot hand.
