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.
