| (54) | Multi-play poker apparatus and games with bonus feature |
| (57) Methods and apparatus for playing multi-play poker games are disclosed. The games
include a bonus wager feature in which the player makes a wager that at least a minimum
number of hands in the multi-play poker game will have a predetermined minimum poker
hand ranking. For example, if ten hands are played in the multi-play poker game, the
player may wager $ 1.00 that at least four of the ten hands will have a ranking of
a pair of jacks or better. The pay table for the bonus wager feature may take the
form of an array of rows and columns, rows representing poker hand rankings (including
the minimum poker hand ranking) and columns headed by integers representing a number
of hands between the minimum number of hands (M) and the total number of hands (N)
in the multi-play poker game, with the entries in the array being payout multiplies
that are applied to the bonus wager if the player has the number of hands with the
associated poker hand ranking.
