Abstract
A portable electronic card game simulator having a housing mounting a display and input keys and containing electronic data processing circuitry organized to provide, at various skill levels, the automatic play of a hand of Gin Rummy, Go Draw, or Thirty-Three, in opposition to an operator. The simulator deals a hand to the operator and to the electronic opponent. The play of the electronic opponent is controlled by circuitry to simulate the play of a human in accordance with the rules of the game. The display includes indicia representing each of the cards in a single deck of cards. These indicia are used to display either the operator's hand, the opponent's hand, or the score of the game.
