Abstract
Embodiments described herein include variations of an electronic video poker game that feature allowing a player to make a wager and view one of three dealt cards. The other two dealt cards are face down. Before the bet is made, the player is presented with the payout tables. When the player makes a bet, the three cards are dealt to the player, and one card is face up. The player then chooses whether the next card is higher or lower than the last face up card. The player continues this process until either all cards are revealed or the player chooses incorrectly. When this part of the game is completed, the cards which make up the rest of the hand are then revealed.
