→Betting the Hand
Press a number from O to 9 to indicate where the face-down card is to be displayed. When you press the number (in some secret fashion), ten cards appear corresponding to the ten displayed numbers. The cards are shown for about two seconds with your face-down card displayed under the number pressed. If two seconds is not long enough, you can repeat secret show, using the same or any other number.
=====Betting the Hand=====
After each player is dealt a face-down card and a face-up card, the players take turns betting. To make a bet, type in the amount you wish to bet and press '''ENTER''' when the arrow is pointing to your hand. To correct an entry error or change a bet before pressing '''ENTER''', retype the amount you wish to bet and then press '''ENTER'''.
In the first round of betting, the first player may bet a maximum of $10 or may check by entering $0 as a bet. If the first player makes a bet, the other players must bet the same amount or more to stay in the game. A player who bets the same amount, is said to "see" the bet. When a player bets more, this is called "raising" the bet. If a player raises the bet, each of the other players is given an opportunity to see the raise or raise the bet even more. This continues until the highest bet has been matched by the other players. A player can also press F to "fold" or drop out of the hand.
As the betting sequence continues, the players are actually betting that the hand they have (or will have) is better than any other player's hand. All bets are placed together to form a pot. After each round of face-up cards is dealt, there is a round of betting. The object of betting is to stay in the game and to build up the pot. The object of the game is to win the pot by having the best hand after the last round of dealing and betting.
You need to observe two rules when betting a poker hand:
# A bet or raise may be from $1 to $10.
# After each face-up card is dealt, the total amount that each player can bet is $40.
The computer automatically determines what each player must bet in order to stay in the game and displays this amount on the screen in the position where a player normally enters a bet. To raise a bet, follow the procedure explained above. If you enter an incorrect bet, the module does not accept it, and the pointer remains to the left of your hand. To correct your entry, simply type in an appropriate bet and press '''ENTER'''.
=====Winning=====
After the last round of dealing and betting, the computer determines the winning hand and adds the amount of the pot to that player's bankroll. In some cases, the winner is the only one remaining because all other players have folded.
=====Ending the Game=====
The game continues until one player has won all the money (all other players have lost their entire bankroll) or until the computer has won all your money. Any player who runs out of money while playing a hand must fold. To select a different number of players or change the bankroll, press '''SHIFT Z''' (BACK). If you wish to select a different game, press '''SHIFT W''' (BEGIN) to return to the game selection list. To return to the master title screen, press '''SHIFT Q''' (QUIT).
