[0004]The 7 Cards Poker-Mahjong combines unique features from the Chinese Mahjong and the Poker card game. It uses the standard 52 poker cards, adopts the simple 5-card poker winning patterns, and utilizes Mahjong's requirement of skill and strategy. It is still a game of chance but engages the player in more thought process and choices. The poker's betting and bluffing methods are eliminated. In its place is a simpler and more predictable Mahjong style wager system. Each winning hand is pre-assigned a token value depending on the degree of difficulties. There are additional value added conditions—for example, drawing the winning card from the deck or getting it from the discarded card from

Embodiment Construction
[0016]In the event that an independent dealer is not available, the 7 Cards Poker-Mahjong is started by a designated player-dealer shuffling the 52 standard poker cards. The jokers are not used. Each player can also take turn to be the dealer. The dealer then throws two dice to determine which player is dealt the first card and later will draw (or be dealt) the first card from the remaining deck.
[0017]One card is dealt to each player face-down and clockwise (FIG. 1A-1B) until every player has six cards (FIG. 2). Then, the player dealt the first card starts to draw (or be dealt) a card from the remaining deck (FIG. 3). With seven cards in the hand, the player checks if it is the winning hand (described below). If it is, the hand is displayed face-up on the table for everyone to see (FIG. 8). A wager is then looked up and collected according to the specific winning hand and the condition it is achieved (described below). If it is not, a card is discarded face-up (FIG. 4).

The invention is similar to the Poker card game and simpler than Mahjong that can be easily learned and played at home among friends or in the Las Vegas type casinos. The standard 52 poker cards are used. The game can be played by two people up to a maximum of seven people. Each player is dealt with six cards face-down to start the game. Then, each player takes turn to either get a card from the remaining deck or take the discarded card from the preceding player. The objective is to come up with a 7-card hand with the winning pattern. The winning pattern consists of 2 cards of the same ranking (a Pair) and 5 cards of the poker hand (Royal Flush, Straight Flush, Four-of-a-Kind, Full House, Flush and Straight). Unlike the Poker game, there is no betting and bluffing. A simple logic and choice are made in the anticipation of the 7th card in order to derive and achieve a winning hand before the other players do. The winner collects a wager from each player depending on the specific winning hand. Each winning Hand is assigned a token value. ROYAL-FLUSH is the most difficult, thus, it has the highest token value. STRAIGHT is the easiest, thus, it has the lowest token value.
