Abstract:
A poker-type game in which there are a plurality of game play rounds. In each round, players wager on hand values. Optimal hand values may change from round to round, so that players may be playing for a high value hand in one round, and for a lower value hand in a prior or succeeding round. In each round, players may proceed through a series of hand declarations and challenges, wherein two players are able to compare their hand values. The losing party in such a challenge pays an amount to the prevailing party. In embodiment, a player pot may be constituted, consisting of player wagers, with the total amount constituting an exchange rate. The payment amount for a lost challenge in the first round may be equal to the exchange rate, for the second round may be equal to two times the exchange rate, and for the third round may be equal to three times the exchange rate. Play may be continuous over more than one three round game.
