A return feature for poker games may be activated after at least two all-in wagers to a pot have been made. The player having the current best hand at the time of the all-in wagers may be returned a portion of the pot regardless of whether or not the player ultimately wins. This allows this player to continue playing should he or she lose the all-in wager. The return feature may return various portions of the pot to a player and may be used in both electronic and non-electronic embodiments of poker.
