But what's the play?

It seems you don't have any control over the hand, no control over the evaluation, and there is no betting either.

Something more akin to bingo, where you call out when a winning combination is found, would be a lot more engaging.

Or maybe keep your chosen hand a secret, so you can do the normal betting/bluffing/folding of Poker? With the added fun that your hand might change over the course of the game.
