- hcTo start off, let me give you a quick explanation of what Domain
- Poker is. Domain Poker is a Multi Player on-line poker game, designed
- especially for Synchronet BBS systems. It exactly resembles an actual game
- of 5 card draw poker. Since I don't plan to explain how to play poker in
- these instructions (these are only intended to help you through the onliner)
- if you don't know how to play poker select the 'How to play poker' option
- from the menu or check your nearest encyclopedia (or just go ahead and play
- - who knows, you may get the hang of it).
-
- Now then, on to the game. To play the game, you will need to hit J) from
- the game main menu. This will take you into the game (which will currently
- play up to 6 players per table), if there is a game in progress, you will
- receive a message telling that you must wait or you can hit ^A to abort this
- waiting process.
-
- Note: Upon hitting 'J' you will be shown a list of tables with some statistics
- next to them. The first few statistics are self explanitory. If the
- table listed has b[rPW Lockb]c next to it, it means that table is
- currently password protected and you must know the password to play on
- it. If the table has b[rNo Comp Playerb]c next to it, it means that
- there is no computer player available at that table (no single player
- game allowed there).
-
- While playing the game, you can look at the prompt to see what mode the
- game is currently in. The first section of the prompt will show the words
- [Open], [Betting], or [Discard]. You will also receive periodic messages
- telling you who is doing what. You may also hit 'L' to list the users, next
- to their name, you will see what that person is doing. When the game stage
- is [Open], this is the point where other people may join the game.
-
- As the game goes on, the deck is passed on to the next person (just like
- in real poker) and, just like in real poker, you can raise the bet, call or
- fold. When a new person enters the game, the deck is passed to the newcomer
- (once again, just like in real poker).
-
- On these multi-player games, depending upon the configuration decided upon
- by your SysOp, a percentage of the total pot may go to the house (customary)
- for table usage (similar to Vegas).
-
- The single player game (if allowed by the SysOp) is the same as the multi-
- player game, except that rather than playing another user, you will play a
- simulated player. Note that you may not be able to password protect a game vs.
- the computer, and the computer player may not be available on all tables (if
- he is available at all) depending upon the configuration decided upon by your
- SysOp.
-
- As always - hyENJOY!
