- ~1E GAME RULES AND INSTRUCTIONS: ~1F In this version of knock poker, you
- ~1f play against three computer opponents: Lucky Lil, Fast Freddy and Sly Sam.
- ~1f Each player begins the game with 50 chips and has his own colored chip box
- ~1f next to his name.
- ~1f To start the game, an "Ante a Chip" prompt indicates the dealer. A hand of
- ~1f five cards is dealt to each player as in draw poker. The remaining cards are
- ~1f placed face down in the center of the table to form the stock. The top card
- ~1f of the stock is turned face up to start a discard pile as in rummy. Then in
- ~1f turn, beginning with the player on the dealers left, each player may take
- ~1f either the last discard or the top card of the stock after which he must
- ~1f discard one card. When it is your turn, you may take the last discard by
- ~1f entering the number (1-5) of the card in your hand which you want to exchange
- ~1f for the upcard. To draw from the stock, press any key, then press the number
- ~1f (1-6) of your discard.
- ~1f Each player tries to build up the best possible five card poker hand. The
- ~1f hands rank as in Draw Poker(Ace can be high only):
-
- ~1a Straight Flush
- ~1a Four of a Kind
- ~1a Full House
- ~1a Flush
- ~1a Straight
- ~1a Three of a Kind
- ~1a Two Pair
- ~1a One Pair
- ~1a High Card
-
- ~1f Whenever a player believes he has the best hand, providing he holds a
- ~1f pair of Jacks or better, he may knock after his discard. The knock
- ~1f means the game will end after one more round for each player except the
- ~1f the knocker. After each players last draw, he must decide to drop out
- ~1f or stay. A player who drops out must immediately pay one chip to the
- ~1f knocker.
- ~1f When play returns to the knocker, the showdown takes place. If the
- ~1f knocker has the high hand he takes the pot, and in addition, all active
- ~1f players pay him two chips. However, if anyone beats (insults) the
- ~1f knocker, then the knocker pays three chips to ~1aALL~1f active players
- ~1f and high hand takes the pot. Thus, you can be in the showdown and not
- ~1f have the high hand and still win chips from the knocker if he is insulted.
- ~1f If the stock has been exhausted and no one has knocked, high hand takes
- ~1f the pot on the showdown. All chip transfers are automatically done by the
- ~1f program. The default time delays between computer plays is 1 to 2 seconds.
-
- ~1aGOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN !!!
