ABOUT THE GAME: Realistic Video Poker (RVP here after) was
designed to be as close to the casino game as possible in both
play and graphics. No cute stuff, though, like "pick up a coin
with the mouse then drop it in the slot". Then "mouse" all over
the screen (and desk) to click the cards you want to hold. RVP is
played with only one hand on the keyboard. In a very short time
you will find that you don't have to look away from the screen
anymore to play the next hand or to correct a miss-typed HOLD
button. Simply speaking, RVP lets you think about your strategy.
PLAYING THE GAME: Once the game is loaded, the title screen
will be displayed. Press any key to move on to the game. You
start off with no credits (no money). To get your bank roll of 80
coins ($20 in quarters) press the 'M' key. (Note: Only works when
you are totally out of coins). All versions of RVP below 3.0
require that you sit though a 15 second advertisement about the
game when ever you receive more coins.
Once you have the poker screen back again, you will be
presented with a pay-off chart at the top off the screen, five
cards face down in the middle and your current financial status
at the bottom. Press the 'C' key to deposit one coin in the
machine. The first box in the pay-off chart will turn yellow
indicating the number of coins currently deposited in the machine
for this hand. Press the SPACE BAR when you have entered the
number of coins you wish to play and RVP will deal you your hand.
Enter all five coins and RVP will press the SPACE BAR for you
(just like many of the casino machines). If you play the odds and
always enter all five coins simply press the 'F' key. In which
case, the fifth box in the pay-off chart will light, RVP will
press the SPACE BAR for you, and five cards will be turned face
up.
At this point, use the 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 keys to indicate the
cards you would like to HOLD. Press the SPACE BAR to discard the
rest. RVP will then pay-off any winning hand as shown in the pay-
off chart and every thing start all over again.
As mentioned above, RVP was designed to be played with one
hand. Our method involves positioning the four fingers of your
left hand across the 1,2,3,4 keys. The index finger also handles
the 5 key and the 'F' key while the thumb operates the SPACE BAR.
Using you left hand may seem a little awkward at first but what
this method dose is allow your right hand to be free to keep
notes or to hold you place in one of the many book available on
how to play video poker.
Anytime, before a hand is dealt, you may press the HELP key
for a reminder of the commands RVP excepts. The help screen will
also appear if three unknown key commands have been pressed.
