You may make a one-time bet before the cards are dealt.

to the betting amount.

Bank Roll
Each of the poker games will display a running total of your bankroll at the
top of the screen. Bankroll starts at 10,000 and will reset to 10,000 if all
points are lost.
DRAW POKER
In Draw Poker, you will try to build a poker hand from 5 cards. The higher
the hand, the higher your score.
DEUCES
In Deuces Poker 2’s are wild, which means they can replace a missing card
of any suit or value to complete a winning hand. For example, a 2 could
complete a straight or replace a missing card in a flush.
JOKER POKER
In Joker Poker the jokers are wild, which means they can replace a missing
card of any suit or value to complete a winning hand. For example, a joker
could complete a straight or replace a missing card in a flush.
LO BALL POKER
Lo Ball Poker is a variation of poker where the lowest hand wins. It is exact-
ly the opposite of high poker.
General Lo Ball Rules:
• The lowest possible hand in Lo Ball is the Wheel. The Wheel consists of
5, 4, 3, 2, Ace. It is the best hand and beats every other hand, except
another Wheel.
• The second best hand is 6, 4, 3, 2, Ace. Following the 6-4 hand is 6, 5, 3,
2, Ace, then 6, 5, 4, 2, Ace and so forth.
• In Lo Ball, an Ace is always considered a low card, counting as one. For
example, a hand of 8, 7, 6, 3 and Ace would be a 9-7 low hand with the
Ace counting as one.
• Flushes and straights are disregarded—they do not foul the hand or make
it a high hand.
• Any 6 low will beat a 7 low. Any 7 low beats an 8 low, and so forth.
BLACKJACK 21
A Blackjack is a hand consisting of an Ace and a 10-value card (10, Jack,
Queen or King) totaling 21. The object of Blackjack is to reach 21 or to have
a greater count under 21 than the dealer.
Placing a Bet
To start, you must place your bet.
• Place the cursor over the amount of
chips you’d like to bet and press the
Enter button. The amount you have
bet will be displayed in the bet
register.
• To raise your bet, press Enter again
or move the cursor to a different pile
of chips.
• When you have finished betting and
are ready to play, place the cursor on
the “DEAL” icon and press the Enter
button. The cards will be automati-
cally dealt.
BASIC BLACKJACK RULES
• You and the dealer will both be dealt two cards. The Dealer’s cards are
dealt one face up and one face down. Your cards are both dealt face up.
Your cards will appear on the bottom of the screen.
• Once you have received your cards, you can decide whether you want to
stand or hit.
If you do not have a blackjack, you can ask the dealer to “hit” you. You
may draw as many cards as you like, one at a time, but if you go over 21
you will “bust” and lose the hand.
• Kings, Queens, Jacks and 10s are all worth 10.
• Aces are worth 1 or 11.
• All other cards are worth their face value.
• If the dealer’s hand is 16 or less, he/she must take a card. If the dealer’s
hand is 17 or more, he/she must stand.
Hit
If you want to add another card to your hand, you can ask the dealer to
“hit” you.
Stand
You can choose to stand if you don’t want any more cards and want to
“stand” with the cards that you have.
Bust
When you “Bust,” you have gone over 21 and have no chance of winning.
Double Down
If, after receiving your first two cards, you think you can beat the dealer with
only one more card, you can choose to double down. This means you will
double your original bet, drawing one more card and then standing.
• If you have an opportunity to double down, the “Double” button will
appear on the right-hand side of the screen. To double down, place the
cursor on the “Double” button and press the Enter button.
NOTE: In this game, a Double is only possible on a 10 or an 11.
Split
If your first two cards are the same value, you may also choose to split your
cards so you can play two hands at once. Your original bet will apply to
each hand. You can continue to draw cards for each hand independently.
• If you have an opportunity to split, the “Split” button will appear on the
right-hand side of the screen. To split, place the cursor on the “Split”
button and press the Enter button.
• If you choose to split, you will continue to play the right hand, as normal.
The left hand will be shaded to indicate it is not available.
• You can Double Down your split hands if, after 1 hit, either hand totals 10
or 11.
Once you choose to Stand, play will end on the right hand and move to the
left hand, or vice versa.
Surrender
When you think your hand is definitely going to lose, you can choose to sur-
render. This cuts your losses by folding your hand and forfeiting half of your
original bet. You cannot surrender after you have hit.
• If you have an opportunity to surrender, the “Surrender” button will
appear on the right-hand side of the screen. To surrender, place the
cursor on the “Surrender” button and press the Enter button.
Insurance
If the dealer’s up card is an Ace, you will have the option to buy insurance.
This means you will bet half of your original bet that the dealer has black-
jack. If the dealer has blackjack, this bet pays 2 to 1. You can only buy
insurance when the dealer’s face up card is an Ace.
• If you have an opportunity to buy insurance, the “Insurance” button will
appear on the right-hand side of the screen. To buy insurance, place the
cursor on the “Surrender” button and press the Enter button.
FACE UP BLACKJACK
Face Up follows the same rules as Blackjack, but offers an additional
strategy— all the cards are dealt face up.
NEW GAME
If you finish a game, or a game comes to a standstill because you cannot
play another card, you can start a new game. You can choose to start a
new game at any time during game play.
To start a new game, press and hold the New Game button for about 2
seconds. You will see a new screen with three options: Continue, Main
Menu and New Game.
• Place the cursor on the desired option and press the Enter button.
• If you select Continue, you will return to your current game.
• If you select Main Menu, you will quit the current game and automatically
go to the Main Menu, where you can select a new game.
• If you select New Game, you will start a new version of the current game.
TROUBLESHOOTING
• If you don’t see the title screen after pressing the On•Off button, check to
make sure the light on the Base Unit is illuminated. If it is and you still
don’t see the title screen, check to make sure the video and audio plugs
are plugged into the correct locations on your TV or VCR and that fresh
batteries are installed in units.

to reset your game. (Only the reset on Base Unit can reset the game. The
