RANKING OF THE HANDS –
Here are the basic hands, in order of the
strongest to the weakest:
1.
Royal Flush:
A royal flush is a
straight flush that has a high card
value of Ace (Ex: A, K, Q, J, 10)
2.
Straight Flush:
A five card
sequence in the same suit. (Ex: 8,
7, 6, 5, 4).
3.
Four of a Kind:
Four cards of the
same value. (Ex: Q, Q, Q, Q).
4.
Full House:
Three of a kind com-
bined with a pair (Ex: 3, 3, 3, K,
K). Ties on a full house are broken
by the three of a kind, since it is
impossible to have two equal sets
of three of a kind in a single deck.
5.
Flush:
Any five cards of the same
suit, but not in sequence. If two
people both have a flush in the
same suit, the person with the
highest card is the winner.
6.
Straight:
Five cards in sequence,
but not in the same suit. Note:
there is no wrap around (it does-
n't work if you have K, A, 2, 3, 4).
The straight that has the highest
card wins.
7.
Three of a Kind:
Three cards with
the same value are considered
three of a kind (Ex: 8, 8, 8). The
three of a kind of the highest
value wins.
8.
Two Pair:
Two pairs (Ex: 7, 7, Q,
Q). The pair with the higher value
is used to determine the winner of
a tie.
9.
Pair:
One pair (Ex: J, J).
10.
High Card:
If the hand has no
other combination (see above), its
worth is determined by the high
card. If two players have the
same high card, the tie is broken
by the second highest card.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
This game is powered by three (3) AAA (LR03) batteries.
• Using a screwdriver, loosen the screw until the battery compartment
door can be removed.
• Insert three (3) AAA (LR03) batteries (we recommend alkaline) as indi-
cated inside the battery compartment.
• Replace the battery compartment door and tighten the screw with a
screwdriver. Do not over-tighten.
ADULT SUPERVISION IS RECOMMENDED WHEN CHANGING
BATTERIES.
CAUTION
• As with all small batteries, the batteries used with this device
should be kept away from small children who might still put things
in their mouths. If a battery is swallowed, consult a physician
immediately.
• Be sure you insert the battery correctly and always follow the
device and battery manufacturer’s instructions.
• Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
• Batteries might leak if improperly installed, or explode if
recharged, disassembled or heated.
• Sometimes, a build-up of static electricity (from carpets, etc.) may
cause the game to stop working. Just reset the game, and it will
work again.
MAINTENANCE
• Handle this device carefully.
• Store this device away from dusty or dirty areas.
• Keep this device away from moisture or extreme temperature.
• Do not disassemble this device. If a problem occurs, press the Power
button off and on, or remove and replace the batteries to reset the
device, or try new batteries. If problems persist, consult the warranty
information located at the end of this instruction manual.
• Use only the recommended battery type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries.
• Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (nickel-
cadmium) batteries.
Note:
SIDE POT(S) occurs when a player does not have a BANK large
enough to CALL previous BETS, forcing the player to go ALL-IN. The
additional BETS, above the player going ALL-IN, will go into a SIDE
POT(S) that will only be won by the player(s) who contributed. If the
player who goes ALL-IN wins, this player will receive the main POT. The
other players will evenly divide the remaining SIDE POT(S). However, if a
player wins who contributed to a SIDE POT, they will win both the main
and any contributing SIDE POT(S).
Press the DEAL button to begin another hand of Texas Hold 'Em.
