WINNING TIP:
When you've got strong pocket cards, bet aggressively
before the Flop. This raises the value of the pot and
flushes out weak hands.
Ranking of Hands
1. Royal Flush: Ten, Jack, Queen, King, Ace of the same suit.
2. Straight Flush: Straight (see #6 below) with all five cards in the
same suit.
3. Four of a Kind: Four cards of the same rank.
4. Full House: Three of a kind plus a pair.
5. Flush: Five cards of the same suit. If there is more than one
flush, the hand with the highest card wins.
6. Straight: Five cards in sequence. Cards can be in any suit. An
Ace can be used in the highest straight (10, J, Q, K, A) and the
lowest straight (A, 2, 3, 4, 5). If there is more than one straight,
the hand with the highest top card wins.
7. Three of a Kind: Three cards of the same rank.
8. Two Pair: Two cards of the same rank plus two other cards of a
different rank.
9. One Pair: Two cards of the same rank.
10. High Card(s): The highest card or cards.
Some onscreen icons appear only when appropriate.
For example, in Roulette, SPIN will not appear
until you bet the minimum, and EXIT will appear
only between games.
TURN appears on your cards, and the cursor points to your play
options at the bottom of the screen. Use the DIRECTIONAL
KEYPAD on your controller to choose your play (BET, RAISE,
CALL, or FOLD), and then press A. This begins the first round
of betting.
The computer automatically gives you the correct options
for play. For instance, in the first round, your options are CALL,
RAISE or FOLD. The blinds are considered advanced bets. It's
as if the small blind opened for $5 and the big blind raised it to
$10. The next player (the first to play) must then call the $10
bet, raise to $20, or fold.
After the first round of betting, the Flop (the first three com-
munity cards) is dealt. Another round of betting occurs, and
then the Turn (the fourth community card) is dealt. After a third
round of betting, the River (the fifth community card) is dealt.
After a fourth round of betting, the Showdown occurs, and each
player's cards are revealed. The player with the best hand wins
the POT, which has been tallied throughout the game at the top
center of the screen. The winnings will be automatically added
to the winning player's STASH and the hand icon then points to
the DEAL option. Press A to play another hand, or use the
DIRECTIONAL KEYPAD to select EXIT. You win the game
when you bankrupt the three computer players.
PLAYING TIP: Texas Hold 'Em will automatically
choose your best five-card hand from your hole cards
and the community cards. Only the top five cards count
toward your hand.
