POKER
BBC Model B
Master 128 and Electron
Tom Pinone

You are in a noisy, smoky saloon bar with six seasoned poker players.  One of 
them, maybe evil-looking, cigar-smoking Black Jake, deals out seven hands of 
five cards each.  From then on, you are on your own with $1000 dollars to lose.  
First the betting goes around the table until everyone has stopped raising the 
stake or dropped out of the game.  Then you can change up to three of your 
cards to make a better hand, and the betting continues.  When the betting is 
over the cards are shown and the best hand wins.  If everyone else has thrown 
in their hand the last player wins but won't show you his hand.  The next round 
starts with another dealer.  Moll, the attractive barmaid, serves the drinks 
and also gives advice if asked!  Full instructions and rules of play are 
provided in the game and the computer will even decide which of your cards to 
change should you wish to change them.  A word of warning: don't assume that 
your fellow players are beginners - they probably bluff and double-bluff far 
better than you ever will!  Warning - this game can seriously damage your 
wealth!
