How to play Video Poker:
THE SCREEN:
The buttons labeled "Coin" and "Deal" perform the same functions as the "Deposit Coin" and "Deal Cards" menu items.
When you are dealt five cards, the five buttons at the bottom of the screen will indicate "Keep". This indicates the status of the card directly above that button. If the button is labeled "Keep", the card will be kept. If the button is labeled "Discard", a new card will take its place when you deal. After you have gone through your discard round, and dealt a set of new cards, the buttons will change to "Game Over". If you have won any money, the corresponding win will be highlighted. Good luck, and have fun!
