Happy Poker (Jack, Queen, King)
v1.0
Introduction
PROKER is the Poker game you'll want to play
and LEARN from no matter what skill level
your at. Among many features you can even
change the rules at will, even have the
computer tell you what cards to discard for a
MAXIMUM chance of winning.

scratch. You must also use this option if you
change the rules, since you can't change them
in the middle of a game..
About = Everything you ever wanted to know
about Proker but didn't dare asking...
Quit = This will transform your 68000 into a

Display the best card.
When you choose this option, the computer
will do its choice of best cards by placing
an X under the card. ( Of course when its
finished calculating it, but meanwhile you
can still play, its doing it in the
backround...)
Last Card
Only used in Computer mode and the Rules are
"With Last Card". The number you enter here
is the minimum percentage value the computer
will risk. ex. In the Higher or Lower
sequence, when the number is -> 4, there are
9 chances out 13 (69%) if the computer
chooses 'Higher' which means if your minimum
setting is 62%, computer will Risk.
With the 8

"With the 8". The number here is the amount
of times the computer will Risk before
keeping his gains.

Next is the black line filled with
information. You will find the number of the
hand, your percentage of winning hands, money
you have (the same as your richness gold
bullions+coins) and your Risk winnings (ex.
if it shows +300$, that means you have won
300$ at Risk).
