If someone attacks you mid game, you'd get pretty miffed off if you lost your game/bet.

So it either needs to be some version that ends in one spin, something that's accessible in the hospital, jail and normal, or something completely removed from the regular mechanics of the game.

I'm all for the idea, and I think a video poker could be made that either is accessible in all three areas (normal, jail and hospital), or something that retains your state until you come back. Just pointing out some of the issues that may come up.

In real life, if you get attacked in the casino or the cops show up, the casino won't let you finish your hand in the hospital or jail. When you play, you take a risk.
