HOW TO PLAY THE TEXAS HOLD ‘EM GAME
Texas Hold ‘Em is a popular poker game in which you
compete against other players to win credits. Your

your two hole cards and the five community cards
shared by all the players. You will use the interactive

As you pedal, tap the screen to begin the Texas

sentation of a game table will appear in the dis-

game option box will be shown below the pot.
During the game, player information will appear
along the right side of the display. Your player

the location of the dealer button. The black arrow
indicates which player’s turn it is.
When it is your turn, assess your cards and tap

decision; you can choose to CALL, RAISE, or

your cards and any community cards on the table
before making a decision. Note: In some circum-
stances, you can choose to CHECK instead of
CALL.
If you decide to RAISE, tap the upward and
downward arrow boxes to select the desired num-
ber of credits, and then tap the OK box.
After you make your betting decision, play will
continue with the other players. Continue to make
betting decisions throughout the betting rounds
and the deals. When the flop is dealt, three cards
will appear in the upper left area of the display.
Additional cards will appear in this area when the
turn and river are dealt. Assess these cards and
make betting decisions as before. During the
game, the other players may fold, bust, or contin-
ue to a showdown.
The player with the best five-card hand in any
combination of hole and community cards will win
the showdown.
After the showdown, the word WINS: will appear
in the center of the display. The number of credits
won by each player will be shown along the right
side of the display. To view the cards held by the

each player.
The game will continue in this way until you win
all the other players’ credits or until you have no
credits available to bet. To exit the game at any
time, press the Fitness Games button.
