A video poker machine provides images of five card poker hands. A player may make a draw whereby selected cards of a poker hand are replaced by newly dealt cards thereby forming a second poker hand. The player may make a wager that the first poker hand has a rank greater than a known rank. The player may additionally wager that the rank of the second poker hand is higher than the rank of the first poker hand. A bonus payout may be made based upon the rank of one of the hands.
