US Patent 11183023 System for a massive multi-player game of skill

A gaming system includes a server and player. The server randomly selects and removes a set of community cards from a deck then requests a first wager from each player. For each player, the server randomly selects a non-exclusive set of hole cards. After the server collects the first wager, the server displays the set of community cards to all players that are playing and requests a second wager from each player. Until all hole cards are presented, each player that is playing is presented a next subset of the hole cards. Each player that does not make the subsequent wager is declared as not playing. After all hole cards are presented, a winner(s) is/are declared based upon a rank of hands.
