Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0790069A2] An image display game apparatus has a display screen which displays randomly selected five cards with their faces up. Based on the player's evaluation of the cards, the player selectively presses a first group of push buttons to select unwanted cards and indicate replacement of the cards. When the player presses a push button in a second group, the selected unwanted cards are replaced with new cards. If the new combination of the cards achieves a prize-winning hand, then the player wins and is awarded a credit based on odds for the prize-winning hand. The player then pushes other push buttons in the second group to receive medals corresponding to the credit or proceed to a double-bet game. The push buttons in the second group are spaced from the first group of push buttons such that the push buttons in the second group and the push buttons in the first group cannot be pressed simultaneously by the same hand. <IMAGE>
