Abstract

The present invention relates to a card game machine wherein a game player plays a card game such as poker or the like on a CRT image displaying screen while operating keys. For instance, in the conventional poker game machine, only five cards selected in the machine are displayed on the screen, while the present invention modifies this playing method in such a manner that all the cards are displayed in an aligned fashion in a turned-over state. In accordance with the present invention, selection of the cards is performed by the game player himself or herself, and therefore the game becomes more interesting and has the effect of eliminating a feeling of doubtfulness or distinct about the game machine.
