Playing the game ( details ).

Step 1: Placing your bet

After logging in, you will see the following display:

You begin each hand by placing a bet, up to the maximum credits you have each day. Click "Bet 1","Bet10", or "Bet All". Your bet amount will appear in the area next to "Clear Bet". If you bet too much, you can click "Clear Bet" to zero out your bet. After betting, click the 'deal' button and a new hand will appear.

Step 2: Dealing a New Hand

Your hand will be displayed, along with the amount you bet, your remaining credit, and the total points you've accumulated for the game period. In this example, I've got a pair of Kings, which is already a winner, but I'm going to go for a flush, which pays more.

Step 3: Discarding
.

Now it's time to select which cards you don't want to keep. Click on each card you wish to discard. The card will flip over and display the back as shown above. Clicking again will return the card in case you change your mind. You do not have to select any cards if you already have a winning hand. When ready, click the 'draw' button and the card(s) you've selected to discard will be replaced with new cards. Your final hand will appear, along with the amount of points you've won.

Step 4: Your final hand

Repeat this procedure until all your credits are used up. You do not need to use all your credits in a single session. If you leave our site, you may return later that day and continue playing. Once your credits are used up, you cannot play until your credits are refreshed on the following day. A message will appear stating when this will occur.

If you leave our site in the middle of a hand, your current bet and hand will be saved until you return. This is an automatic feature - you may find, on occasion, that when you log back in, a hand will appear before you place a bet. This is your saved session.

Each day you will be given some credits with which to play. You can bet them all at once, or one at a time. Keep in mind that any unused credits are forfeited, and will not carry over to the next day. This is to keep the game fair to all users, providing each user an equal chance at winning.

One prize each week will be awarded to the player with the most points. In case of a tie, the winner who reached that level of points first will be declared the winner. These dates and point values are listed on the leader's page.
