English
When you start the hand, you are dealt 5 random cards. You then select cards to keep and throw the rest away. The dealer then deals the same amount of cards as were thrown away and the hand is evaluated. Based on what kind of hand you're holding, you'll receive a certain number of points.
Hands are listed below, from best (highest scoring), to worst (no score):
Royal Flush - 3000 Points:
A straight flush, with the Ace high.
In other words, a Ten, Jack, Queen, King and Ace, all of the same suit.
Four of a Kind - 125 points:
Four cards of the same value. (Obviously, each of different suits).
Full House - 40 points:
A three of a kind and a pair at the same time.
Flush - 25 points:
All cards in your hand are the same suit.
Straight - 20 points:
All five cards are consecutive.
For example: Three of Clubs, Four of Spades, Five of Clubs, Six of Diamonds, and Seven of Hearts.
Three of a Kind - 15 points:
Three cards of the same value.
Two Pairs - 10 points:
Two pairs of cards.
In other words, two cards in your hand that are the same value, and two other cards in your hand that are also the same value.
Pair - 5 points:
Two cards in your hand are the same value. In this version, they must be Jacks or better!
None of the Above:
0 points
Each turn "costs" 5 points, so if you get a pair, no points actually end up added to your total score. If you don't get anything, you actually lose five points! This is just how handheld and Vegas video poker games work!
