What is Poker? Poker is a game of chance and skill. It pits you against the dealer. You are dealt a hand of 5 cards and the dealer is dealt 1 card facing up. Based on the strength of your hand and on the value of the dealer’s 1 card you must decide whether to increase your bet to maximize your winnings or to fold to minimize your loss. If you choose to call instead of folding and if the dealer’s hand qualifies you will be paid out according to a schedule based on the value of your hand. For the dealer's hand to qualify it must contain an Ace-King pair or better. Poker Features The Deal button starts a new game of Cyberstud Poker. Use the Call button when you feel your hand can beat the hand the dealer will draw. You will not be allowed to Call if you do not have sufficient funds to bet. The Fold button ends your hand. You should use the fold button only if you are sure your hand cannot beat any potential hand the dealer might draw. If you Fold you will lose your ante. Playing Poker In this game it's you against the dealer! The object is to beat the dealer’s poker hand. At the beginning of each game, you are required to put up an ‘Ante’ bet. This amount appears on the Ante box. To increase or decrease the Ante bet, click on the relevant Increase or Decrease button to change your bet size. You may use larger chip sizes by selecting the relevant size you desire from the Chip Size menu. Once you have set your Ante bet, click the Deal button. You will be dealt 5 cards and the dealer 1 card, all these cards will be turned face up. If your hand consists of any of the poker combinations it will show which combination next to the cards dealt. You now have the choice to 'Call' or 'Fold', by clicking the appropriate button. If you fold, you will automatically lose your Ante and can start again. If you 'Call' an additional wager equal to double the Ante is required. This second amount is called your 'Bet'. The Bet is automatically deducted from your balance when you click the Call button. If you do not have enough credits to make the Bet you will not be able to complete the game. You must go and purchase additional credits before completing this hand. Once you 'Call' the dealer is dealt a further 4 cards which are then revealed to you. If the dealer’s hand does not have a rank of at least an Ace-King the dealer fails to qualify. If this occurs the game is over. Your bet is returned to you together with double your ante, irrespective of the value of your cards. If the dealer’s hand does qualify, by having a hand value of an Ace-King or higher, it is compared to your hand. If the dealer’s hand is superior, you lose both your Ante and your Bet. If the dealer’s hand is inferior, you receive twice your Ante and you are paid out on your Bet according to the payout schedule. The odds that your hand will pay out will be shown with the hand information that is displayed on the screen during play, and will be as shown in the Payout Schedule If both your hand the dealer’s hand tie on rank, the person with the next highest-ranking card is the winner.
