ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. How To Play ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
VPoker is a standard Video Poker game. You start off by placing your bet. To
do this, use the Bet push button. You may also click on the amount at the top
of the screen. When you have selected your bet, press the Deal button. Your
cards will be flipped over, showing your hand. This is 5 card draw, and you
may choose to replace up to 5 of your cards by pressing the Discard buttons.
You may also double-click on the cards to discard them. Once you have decided
which cards to drop, press the Deal button again. You will be dealt new cards
in place of the discarded ones. Your new hand is displayed, as well as the
amount you won, if any. After a short pause, the cards will be dealt for the
next hand.

Five-card draw poker is played with 5 cards, as the name implies. The draw
comes from the ability to discard some of your cards and draw new ones in an
attempt to get a better hand. The amount you win depends on how much you bet
and how good your hand is. The hands are described below. Jacks or Better is
a break-even hand, and a Royal Flush is the best hand you can get.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1.2. Options ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Card Backs
You can load any bitmap you want for the card backs. Choose the Options->Card
Backs menu option, and you will be given a file dialog. Simply choose any .BMP
file on your system. A word of caution - the more complex the bitmap, the
longer it will take to deal the cards.
Sounds
This option is checked if sounds are on. If you have MMPM/2 installed, you
should get digitized sound effects. If you don't have MMPM/2, you will get
beeps from the speaker.
Automatic Deal
When a hand is over, the default action is to automatically deal the cards
after a short delay. If you turn this option off, you will need to press the
Deal button to deal the next hand. This allows you to take a longer look at
your cards before the next hand.
