- Welcome to T&J Software's Video Poker! (CUSTOM MODE)
-
- Video Poker is setup to duplicate the standard video poker type of
- machine which are found in various locations.
-
- Basically, you enter your bet by pressing the E or - key, and
- then type in your bet. The next round if you choose to enter the
- same bet, you may enter the S or + key for automatic entry of your
- last bet. After selecting the same bet as last time or entering
- a new bet, 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!
-
- One exception to this is if your sysop selects a custom reset
- date!! The date of reset will always be shown to you when you
- enter the door!
-
- 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!
-

- door please get in touch with us!
