A house banked casino game simulates play of Texas Hold'Em. Each player places a competition wager, which is without a house advantage, and each player places a proposition wager. Hands of playing cards are dealt to each player, and at least one least community card is dealt to a community card area. The competition wager is resolved according to a poker rank of one player hand against a poker rank of another player hand, and the proposition wager is resolved according to the poker rank of each player hand against a payout scale. The rules are simple to execute and play eliminating skill decisions, thereby appealing to average or inexperienced players. The proposition wager further increases player interest by providing a chance for a high payout.

The new content and operating instructions modifies operation of cooperating blocks to produce different, processor controlled individual characterizations an / or sensory outputs that reinforce learning or identified mistakes arising from inappropriate manipulation of the interactive blocks. The interactive blocks (12, 212) can be realized as physical entities or otherwise in a virtual screen environment, with the sensory output being visual, audible and / or a haptic response.
