The video poker machine is based on the Five Card Draw poker game. Video
poker offers a poker simulation that can be played at a fraction of the
cost of its table counterpart. Just like slot machines, each additional
coin wagered increases the amount of the payout.
Object of the Game :
In video poker there is no opponent, so the objective is to get the
highest ranking hand possible.
How to play :
The video poker screen displays 3 values:
    1. Paid - The number of coins won from the last hand.
    2. Credits - The total number of coins remaining in your balance.
This value will adjust according to the coin denomination setting of the
video poker machine.
    3. Coins - The number of coins to be bet on the next hand.
The video poker machine also has 4 buttons:
    1. Cash Out: Resets the number of coins being bet to 0, returning
them to your balance.
    2. Deal/Draw: When at least one coin has been bet, the deal / draw
button will become enabled. The first time the deal / draw button is
clicked, the game begins and the initial hand is dealt. Once the player
has chosen which cards to hold (keep), the deal / draw button is clicked
a second time to draw the replacement cards and complete the game.
    3. Bet Max: Allows the player to quickly bet the maximum number of
coins permitted by the machine and immediately deal the initial hand.
    4. Bet One: Bets one coin at a time. Once the desired number of
coins is bet, the player must begin the game manually by clicking the
deal / draw button.
The Bets. Select a denomination for the video poker machine (25¢, 50¢,
$1, $2 or $5). This will set the value of each coin played. Next,
deposit one to five coins into the machine -- use the Bet One button to
bet one coin at a time, or use Bet Max button to bet the maximum coins
allowed by the machine (balance permitting). Finally, click on the Deal
/ Draw button to deal the initial hand. Note that the Bet Max button
will automatically cause the initial hand to be dealt.
The Cards. Cards are ranked in order of their face value, with aces
considered "high". The ranking is from lowest to highest: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,
7, 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen, King, Ace. Some games make use of Wild Cards
(ie. a joker, or any deuce) that can be used as any other card (rank and
suit) to improve the hand.
The Deal. Five cards will be dealt to the player. Since there is no
opponent, the player must achieve the highest ranking hand possible. The
player must decide which of the 5 cards he or she wishes to keep (hold)
or discard for new cards. Once the decision has been made, the machine
takes away the cards you didn't keep and replaces them with new cards.
The game is then complete and the resulting hand determines the payout.
