Following is a sample of the information contained on this CD: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to an intelligent card playing gaming system. 2. Background Art Existing electronic casino games (slot machines) are available in which one player plays against a predetermined criteria that determines whether the player wins. One such game that is prominent in a casino or other gaming environment is referred to as video poker. In video poker, the player is dealt a hand of cards which is evaluated against a payoff table. Thus, the player is pitted against static, predetermined hand rankings. If the player’s hand exceeds a threshold ranking, the player wins the amount indicated for the threshold. The player does not play poker against another player. In Bridgeman et al, U.S. Pat. No. 5,046,736, a multi-player poker slot machine is described. One player is a person and the other player(s) is simulated by the slot machine system. The real player initiates all of the actions in the game while the simulated player merely responds by imitating each action of the player. There is no ability or intelligence of the simulated player to develop a strategy in which the simulated player decides upon an action other than the one performed by the real player. It is therefore, impossible for the simulated player to be the initiator of the game (i.e., make the first move). Further, the real player can predict with 100% accuracy the moves that the simulated player will take thereby making it easier for the real player to out-maneuver the simulated player. The following provides a discussion of the game of poker. Poker Basics There are a large number of poker variations. However, certain basic concepts apply to most types of poker. Poker hands generally consist of five cards from a 52 card deck. There are 2,598,960 different hands. The hands are linearly ordered in strength or rank. There are nine general categories
