Benefits of technology

"The patent describes a modified version of the Omaha Hi-Lo game. Each player receives four cards, and there is a round of betting after each display of the community cards. After all the betting is complete, each player can decide to play either the Hi or Lo hand. There is no qualifier for the Lo hand. The player with the best Hi hand gets half the pot, and the player with the best Lo hand gets half the pot. If a player plays both hands, they have to win both to win the whole pot."

Problems solved by technology

A disadvantage of Omaha Hi-Lo poker is that the qualifier requirement for the Lo hand often disrupts a player's strategy during the play of the game.
