Roll Your Own
Roll Your Own involves wild cards, but unlike other draw poker games with wild cards, Roll Your Own allows each player to decide which card will be wild in his own hand.
Pay for Your Draw
Pay for Your Draw is an alternative betting system, where the dealer determines a price that will be paid for each drawn card during the game, so a player drawing three cards puts into the pot three times the sum placed by a player who draws only one card.
Leg Poker
Leg Poker games follow all standard rules, but the winner is not determined in one single game. Each game is treated as a leg, and the first player who wins the required number of legs collects the entire pot, accumulated during all these legs. So, in a two legs draw poker, the winner of the first leg does not collect the pot, but the game is played again with all standard betting rounds, and only if the same player wins again before anyone else wins two legs, he collects the money.
High/Low
As most other poker games,
draw poker can be played in High/Low format, which means that in the end of the game, the pot is equally shared between the player with the highest poker hand and the player with the lowest one.
Lowball
In Lowball, the winner is determined according to an inverse poker hand ranking, which means that the worst hand in a normal high poker game is the best one in Lowball while royal flush is the worst possible Lowball hand. Drawing in Lowball is more dangerous than in other draw poker game, because in other games, drawing normally either improves the hand or leaves it as it was before drawing. In Lowball, every new card can become the highest card in the deck, or, which is even worse, can match another card and create a pair.
Roll Em
Roll Em, which is applicable to most poker games, allows adding more betting rounds. In five card draw poker, Roll Em rounds replace the showdown. Instead of revealing all cards at once, players reveal them one by one and play a Roll Em betting round after each new card is revealed. So, a standard five card draw poker game can now have up to seven betting rounds instead of two.
New York Draw
New York draw is a standard draw poker game with a little change in the hand ranking. Four card straight is added as a valid poker hand and beats one pair, but loses to two pairs.
Canadian Draw
Canadian draw is equal to New York draw, but apart from four card straight, four card flush also is a valid hand that beats four card straight, but loses to two pairs.
Spanish Draw
Spanish Draw uses a reduced deck that can also be used in other game. Such deck does not include cards from two to five and leaves only 32 cards in the game.
