Po-Ke-No*
The game includes 12 boards and a large number of poker-style chips, but no cards. It combines elements of poker and Keno (or lottery) in a way that enhances the excitement and interest of both.
Each player, except for the dealer, receives a board and some game pieces. The dealer, or "Caller," shuffles a standard deck of 52 cards and reveals them one by one. Players cover the corresponding fields on their boards until someone completes a row of five, either horizontally or vertically, to win. The winner then becomes the next dealer. Multiple scoring methods are suggested, such as collecting chips from other boards or continuing until everyone has a row, with scores based on the ranking of poker hands represented on the boards.
