-
-
- [1] System requirements
- -----------------------
-
- DeLuxe Poker requires version 2.1 of the Amiga operating system or higher,
- and *muimaster.library*.
-
- You can find muimaster.library in the Stefan Stuntz's MUI package,
- see paragraph "...MUI_MUI_MUI_..."
-
-
-
- [2] Installation
- ----------------
-
- Simply copy the DPoker drawer wherever you want.
- Start it, by double-clicking on its (nice MagicWB :-) icon.
-
- > NOTES:
- >
- > DPoker looks good on an 8-color Workbench with the MagicWB default palette.
- >
- > If your Workbench has 8 colors, double-click on palette8.pre icon (or load
- > it through the Palette preference program) before starting DPoker.
- >
- > If your Workbench uses only 4 colors, double-click on palette4.pre icon (or
- > load it through the Palette preference program) before starting DPoker.
- >
- > However DPoker looks nice even when black cards are not so black and red
- > cards are not so red ;-P
-
-
-
- [3] DeLuxe Poker is a Video Poker ...
- -------------------------------------
-
- You know Poker rules, don't you? ... No? ... Sorry, you lose!
-
- A "hand" in DPoker is made up of three phases:
-
- PHASE I: BETTING
- ----------------
-
- Click on <Bet> button to bet one credit; click on <Bet 10> button to
- bet 10 credits (the greatest bet allowed).
-
- The bet credits will be displayed above the <Bet> button (BET SUM).
-
- When you've made your bet click on <Deal> button and ... good luck :-!
-
-
- PHASE II: CHANGING YOUR CARDS
- -----------------------------
-
- If you want to hold one or more cards, click on button <1> ... <5>,
- the word "hold" will appear under the selected cards.
- If you want to un-hold a selected card, click on the corresponding
- button again.
-
- When you are satisfied of your choice click on <Deal> button to change
- the cards that are not holded.
-
-
- PHASE III: LOSE OR WIN & RISK
- -----------------------------
-
- If your cards form a winning combination (see below), you'll win some
- credits (displayed above <Deal> button); otherwise you'll lose the
- credits you bet.
-
- Now you can gamble your winnings:
-
- - click on <5> button if you *don't want* to gamble; the winnings
- will be added to your current credits.
-
- - click on <1> button if you *want* to gamble:
-
- the leftmost card is the dealer's card, in order to double your
- winnings you must choose one of the remaining four cards, if the
- card you choose beats (i.e. is greater than) the dealer's card
- your winnings will be doubled, otherwise you'll lose them.
- If you succeed in doubling them, or your card is equal to the
- dealer's card (i.e. same number), you'll be asked if you want
- to gamble again, and so on.
-
-
-
- JACKPOT
- -------
-
- Each combination has its own jackpot which icreases while you play
- DPoker (every 4 hands a credit is randomly added to one of the 9
- jackpots).
- In order to win a jackpot *you must bet 10 credits* and obtain the
- corresponding winning combination!!!
-
- Click on <Statistics> button to view jackpots.
-
-
-
- Other gadgets
- -------------
-
- - *When you've spent all your credits*, click on <New game> to obtain
- 10 more credits.
-
- - Click on <Statistics> for some statistical-stuff (jackpots,
- total hands, highscore, total winnings etc.).
-
- - <About> button will remember you that DPoker is SHAREWARE!
- ----------------------------------------------------------
-
- - To quit DPoker click on the CLOSE-GADGET of the main window.
-
-
-
- DPoker saves your credits
- =========================
-
- When you quit DPoker, it tries to save a file (called "dpoker.dat")
- which keeps track of your credits, highscore, jackpots etc. etc.
-
- When you start DPoker, it loads dpoker.dat file and restores all that
- information.
-
- Don't try to modify dpoker.dat file (i.e. try to get 1000 credits
- for free): it has a checksum that prevents such modifications.
-
- If you want to start a "completely-new-DPoker-session", delete (or
- rename) dpoker.dat file.
-
-
-
- Winning combinations:
- ---------------------
-
- Jacks or better : two jacks, two queens, two kings or two aces.
- You'll win the same credits you bet.
-
- Two pair : two cards with the same value form a pair.
- For example, two pair combinations are:
- two 'jack' + two '3', two '10' + two '5', etc. etc.
- You'll win 2 times the stake.
-
- Three of a kind : three cards with the same value.
- For example: three 'ace', three '5', three '10', etc.
- You'll win 3 times the stake.
-
- Straight : the five cards form a sequence.
- For example: 'ace' + '2' + '3' + '4' + '5',
- '8' + '9' + '10' + 'jack' + 'queen',
- '3' + '4' + '5' + '6' + '7',
- '10' + 'jack' + 'queen' + 'king' + 'ace', etc. etc.
- You'll win 5 times the stake.
-
- Flush : the five cards have the same suit.
- You'll win 7 times the stake.
-
- Full House : a pair + three of a kind.
- For example: '2' + '2' + '2' + '10 + '10',
- 'ace' + 'ace' + '4' + '4' + '4' et. etc.
- You'll win 10 times the stake.
-
- Four of a kind : four cards with the same value.
- For example: '6' + '6' + 'queen' + '6' + '6' etc.
- You'll win 30 times the stake.
-
- Straight flush : straight + flush.
- For example: '4' + '5' + '6' + '7' + '8' (all hearts).
- You'll win 40 times the stake.
-
- Royal flush : straight + flush + the highest card is an ace.
- For example: '10' + 'jack' + 'queen' + 'king' + 'ace'
- (all hearts).
- You'll win 50 times the stake.
-
- NOTE: the order in which cards appear doesn't count, i.e.
- '2' + 'ace' + '4' + 'ace' + 'queen' is the same of
- 'ace' + 'queen' + '4' + '2' + 'ace'.
