Joker's wild poker
poker softwareBy clicking on BET ONE or BET MAX buttons, the player makes his
bet (from 1 to 5 chips). After the bet is placed, the player should
press the DEAL button. The computer gives the player five cards.
He, in turn, should evaluate its value and decide (by marking the
appropriate cards with cursor) which cards he wants to keep, keeping
in mind the possibility of necessary cards appearance to strengthen
his combination. After making his choice, the player hits the DEAL
button once again. The player"s balance is then being debited with
amount, equal to his initial bet value. Computer changes unmarked
cards, evaluates the final combination and pays the winning combination
off according to the payoff table, simultaneously marking this amount
in the Payoff section. This concludes the play round. To quit playing
and credit his balance, the player should press the QUIT button.
Descriptions of Hand Ranks (combinations)
| Flush Royal |
5 cards of the same suit in order:
T-J-Q-K-A (10, Jack, Queen, King, Ace). A Flush-Royal is the
highest possible hand. |
| Five of a Kind |
This is four cards of the same
rank and joker. |
| Straight Flush |
A straight flush is a straight
set of any cards (5 cards in order, such as 5-6-7-8-9) that
are all of the same suit. Another possible combination is A-2-3-4-5
(an Ace is considered to be the card with the lowest value).
|
| Four of a Kind |
This is simply four cards of the
same rank (for example: 2-2-2-2; Q-Q-Q-Q). |
| Full House |
A full house is a three of a kind
and a pair, such as 2-2-2-K-K. Ties are broken first by the
three of a kind, then the pair. So K-K-K-2-2 beats Q-Q-Q-A-A,
which beats Q-Q-Q-J-J. |
| Flush |
A flush is a hand where all of
the cards have the same suit, such as 2-4-5-J-A, all of spades.
|
| Straight |
A straight is 5 cards of any suit
in order, such as 4-5-6-7-8. An ace may either be high (A-K-Q-J-10)
or low (5-4-3-2-A). |
| Three of a Kind |
Three cards of any rank, matched
with two cards that are not a pair (otherwise it would be a
Full House). Again, highest three of a kind wins. |
| Jacks or Better |
One pair of Jacks or better cards
with three distinct cards. High card breaks ties. |
