Introduction
------------
Thank you for trying VideoPoker. VideoPoker is a poker game for the Palm Pilot
that has basically the same rules as the Jacks-Or-Better video poker games found
in many casinos.
The initial bankroll provided by this program is $100. If you run out of money,
you will need to register the program in order to be able to "buy" additional
chips and continue playing the game. The registration fee is just $7.00. A small
sum for all the enjoyment you will get from this game!
For the latest version of this and other Pilot apps, visit the Rose Software web
page at:

How to Play
------------
The screen for the game is divided as follows:
+------------------------------------+
| |
| |
| |
| Player Card Area |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
|----------+-----+-------------------|
| Bankroll | Bet | One Max Deal |
+----------+-----+-------------------+
The bet amount can be changed by selecting "One" or "Max" button. The "One" button
increments the bet amount by one, up to the maximum bet of $5. The "Max" button
sets the bet amount to $5. After selecting the bet amount, press the "Deal"
button to start the game.
When the Deal button is pressed, you will be dealt five cards. You may keep
any or all of the cards. To keep a card, press the "Hold" button beneath the card.
You may also press the card itself to select it. Pressing the "Hold" button again
toggles the hold value, and de-selects the card.
After you have selected all of your cards that you would like to keep, press the "Deal"
button. The cards that were not selected to hold will be replaced with new cards. If
you have a pair of Jacks or better, you will be paid based upon the payout values for
that hand.
The payouts are as follows:
One Pair (Jacks or better) 1:1
Two Pair 2:1
Three of a kind 3:1
Straight 4:1
Flush 5:1
Full House 8:1
Four of a Kind 50:1
Straight Flush 200:1
Royal Flush 2000:1
