Don’t know if I’m in the right place to ask this…
Can anyone explain to me (simply) the hands of poker? I was boasting about my score on the leader board (without knowing the rules of the game) but now I’m -160!
Serves me right.

May 31, 2007 at 8:48 pm #161112Leapy LeoMember😀 Sarah [both Sarah’s] so nice to see you cyberwise, but I don’t understand the question.
The rules of what hands win what are illustratrated right above the cards; you’ll get used to it; just keep glancing up at that. Then you have a choice between adding what you’ve won to your “bank” or of gambling it. If you gamble you have a choice or picking which individual suit comes up next card [a 1 in 4 chance but if you guess right your score is quadrupled] or pick either black or red [a 50/50 chance of doubling your score].
Hope that helps

May 31, 2007 at 9:00 pm #161123HeaventomeMemberWell actually it doesn’t!
I was boasting that I was 8th – I happen to think that’s pretty good for my first game!
I mean: What’s a flush?
What’s a straight?You know… THE HANDS!
Just you wait…
Hi Sarah btw.

May 31, 2007 at 9:10 pm #161113Leapy LeoMemberJust I wait for what [he asks innocently].
Flush is when you get five cards all of the same suit
Straight is when you get five cards in a sequence of numbers, ie from King through to nine, that’s of any suit, but in the unlikely event that they are all of the same suit it’s worth alot more [not sure how much].
Also the Joker card counts as anything, it fits in wherever it is most advantageous to you, so always hold onto that one.
Hope this one helps [me]!:D
May 31, 2007 at 10:52 pm #161085DavidParticipantHere’s a little more in-depth desciption of the hands.

June 1, 2007 at 5:35 pm #161114Leapy LeoMemberYou’re welcome Sarah. Look forward to you posting a high score soon.
PS Watch out for getting logged out if you are on the Arcade for an hour or more. What I tend to do is go back to the forums every now and again just so the site knows I’m still there. It can be heartbreaking to get a high score only to find you are not logged in anymore when you come to post it. It’s happened to me a few times.
June 1, 2007 at 7:53 pm #161086DavidParticipantI might be able to provide a solution for that. Leapy – you do not use ‘Remember Me,’ correct?
June 1, 2007 at 8:07 pm #161115Leapy LeoMemberThis was covered before in a thread started by Sarah T about getting logged out on the Ron North’s jewels game.
I tried ticking the Remember me box as advised at the time but it made no difference then.
I admit I havn’t used the box since because it was only really needed on the jewels game [which I’ve largely given up on because of the getting logged out thing].
June 1, 2007 at 9:02 pm #161087DavidParticipantI can’t locate that thread…but I think I can come up with a solution, I’ll report back in the next few days. (flying across the country tomorrow)
June 1, 2007 at 9:27 pm #161116Leapy LeoMemberI’ve pmed Sarah about the thread, I’m sure she’ll know which one it is because she posted me the link to it.
Have a nice holiday, I’m going away myself tomorrow with Sarah tho it’s only a car ride away in our case.
😀

June 3, 2007 at 8:25 pm #161117Leapy LeoMemberI just realised that my post may have caused some confusion as I didn’t distinguish Sarahtowny from my girlfriend [who is also called Sarah, aka Heaventome]. Sorry about that. I can assure everyone that Sarahtowny and me did not go to Chester together this weekend!

Sorry about that.

Perfect 😉
