How to play:

The screen is initially blank.  Press "start" to seed the random number generator and begin.

A game begins with 100 credits.  One credit is spent for each new hand that is played.

A 5 card hand is dealt from a 54 card deck.  The deck includes two jokers.

Select zero to five cards to discard using the arrow keys.
- "Left" and "right" select a particular card.
- "Up" pushes that card towards the dealer, indicating you'd like to discard it.
- "Down" returns the selected card to your hand (if you change your mind and want to keep a card).

Once you've settled on the cards you'd like to replace (if any), press "A" or "B."

Payouts use the following table:

ROYAL FLUSH     800
STRAIGHT FLUSH   50
FOUR OF A KIND   25
FULL HOUSE        9
FLUSH             6
STRAIGHT          4
THREE OF A KIND   3
TWO PAIR          2
PAIR              1 (jacks or better)

Press "A" or "B" again to deal a new hand and continue playing.
