Welcome to T&J Software's Video Poker!
Video Poker is setup to duplicate the standard video poker type of
machine which are found in various locations.
Basically, you select your bet by pressing any of the number keys
(from 1 to 9) and the first set of five cards appear. You then
select the cards you wish to keep by selecting the card number
(from 1 to 5). A yellow 'KEEP' will flash below your choosen cards.
You then select 'D' or simply hit the ENTER key for your second
draw of cards.
A small status display in the upper right portion of then main
screen tells you your current hand status by placing a blinking
check mark inside the brackets.
On the very top of the screen, you'll see how your SysOp has the
game configured for payoffs. Let's say it says "You need JACKS or
better." That means the game will not payoff unless you have at
least a pair of JACKS. Anything less than that will not payoff.
This door resets every monday during the BBS maintenance. So, if
you're running behind bet it all on Sunday evenings! You never
know, you may catch up or surpass the leader!
Each new bet starts the turn with a new deck of cards.
The status of the payoffs can be viewed by pressing the 'P' key.
This will show you the payoff versus what card combinations you
have. On the right, it shows what combinations had already come up.
The game also keeps track of the all time high score and last weeks
high score. These can be viewed by pressing the 'V' key.
In case you get some line garbage, you can always press the 'R' key
to quickly redraw the current screen.
Want to view the top ten players? Just tap the 'T' key and you'll
be presented with the current top ten. As you play, check this and
watch your name crawl up the list!
When you're ready to quit the game, just hit the 'Q' key and the
game will generate the current top ten list and the bulletins.
If you run out of money, you're finished until monday when the door
resets. So watch how much you bet!
This door also has a BONUS feature which your sysop may or may not
choose to use. Basically, a certain amount of money is placed in
the jackpot each time you play a hand of poker. The best hand of
the day will receive this jackpot money tomorrow! Be sure to logon
and claim the money, or you lose it!
High hand numbers are determined like this:
Royal Flush = 100,000 points
Straight Flush = 50,000
Four of a Kind = 25,000
Full House = 12,500
Flush = 10,000
Straight = 7,500
Three of a Kind = 5,000
Two Pair = 2,500
One Pair = 1,000
In addition to these points, you then add the card values
themselves. A two = 2 points and so on up to an Ace = 14 points.
So, if you draw a Full House with 2-Fours and 3-Aces, your hand
value would be 12,550. Somebody would have to beat your 12,550
point hand to claim the jackpot tomorrow! You'll be told when you
quit the game if you have the high hand thus far!
That's about it, if you have any comments of suggestions for the
door please get in touch with us!
