Abstract
An improved video draw poker game is disclosed that deals a player an initial five card draw poker hand plus an additional match hand of cards. After the player has held and replaced cards to obtain a final hand of cards from which draw poker winnings are determined in a conventional manner, the final hand of cards is compared to the match hand of cards to determine additional winnings based on face value and suit matches between cards in the draw hand and in the match hand. The match concept is also disclosed as used with a game played on a video slot machine.
