You can select the number of players by entering a number from 1 to 4. Then you are asked to enter the bankroll amount for all the players. This must be at least $100 but no more than $15,000. If you make a mistake when you're typing in the bankroll, press '''SHIFT ←''' (LEFT) before you press '''ENTER'''. This erases the error, and you may retype the correct number. Then press '''ENTER''', and the game begins.
====Stud Poker Rules====
In this type of poker, each player receives only one card face down. This is called a "hole" card. Then four more cards are dealt face up to each of the players in order. After each round of cards is dealt, the players bet on what they have or what they hope to get in their hand. In this game there are always four players - the computer plays the hands for all "missing" players. For example, if you have selected two players, the computer plays the other two hands.
In Stud Poker a deck of 52 cards is used. The cards are ranked as follows: A (high), K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2. The four suits - spades, hearts, diamonds, and clubs - are equal in value. In this computer version of the game, there are no wild cards and no jokers. Each player tries to get a better poker hand than any other player. The poker hands that you can get are listed below, in order from lowest to highest rank.
''No Pair'' - five assorted cards. If all players have this lowest ranking hand, the hand with the highest card(s) wins.
''One Pair'' - two of the five cards have the same rank. ''Example'': J, 10, 10, 4, 3.
''Two Pairs'' - two cards of the same rank, two cards of another rank, and a fifth card. ''Example'': 10, 10, 4, 4, 3.
''Three of a Kind'' - any three cards of the same rank plus two other cards. ''Example'': J, 10, 10, 10, 4.
''A Straight'' - any five cards ranked in sequence and made up of two or more suits. ''Example'': J, 10, 9, 8, 7 in clubs and hearts.
''A Flush'' - five cards of the same suit with any ranking. ''Example'': J, 10, 8, 4, 3 all in hearts.
''A Full House'' - three of a kind plus any pair of another rank. ''Example'': 10, 10, 10, 4, 4.
''Four of a Kind'' - four cards of the same rank. '''Example''': 10, 10, 10, 10, 4.
''Straight Flush'' - five cards ranked in sequence and all in the same suit. ''Example'': A, K, Q, J, 10 of spades; this is the highest possible hand when there are no wild cards.
