Abstract
A new method of playing multiple-draw poker that provides players with the opportunity to progressively build poker hands by duplicating held cards from a latest completed hand into a new hand and also receiving a bonus hand in the form of a five-card poker hand, with no re-draws, that is by itself capable of receiving a predetermined bonus amount based on the poker hand value of the bonus hand.
