How To Play
- You begin with four 2-card poker hands and a bank of $50.
- At the beginning of each game you need to select the value of the chips you want to gamble. You have the choice to remember this decision for the rest of the session.
- At the “preflop” you get to distribute four chips among the various hands. You must bet the entire four chips.
- The “flop” is dealt. 3 more cards, face up. You now must bet another four chips among the hands.
- The “turn” is dealt. 1 more card, face up. You now must bet another four chips among the hands.
- The “river” is dealt. No more betting!
- The “showdown” will calculate the best 5-card poker hand for each of the four hands. In the case of a tie they all are considered winners.
- You win an equal amount that you bet for each winning hand and you lose the money you bet on losing hands.
- The game is over if your bank reaches $0.
