| POKER GAME |
| Ugh, how I do not like this game. It's played in the center of the stage behind the curtain. The contestant can win four 3-digit prizes. They could play this game for 4-digit prizes... I don't understand why they don't. Anyway, to win, the contestant must get a better poker hand than the house, not counting straights. Instead of cards, the contestant gets his/her hand by the numbers in the prices of the prizes. S/he picks two prizes, and the 5 of the numbers in the prices are arranged to make the best hand possible. The contestant must choose whether to keep this hand, or give it to the house, in the hopes that with the other two prizes, s/he will get a better hand. If the contestant winds up with a better hand than the house, s/he wins all four prizes. |
| HOW TO WIN |
| Hopefully, you know what beats what in poker--5 of a kind is the best hand, followed by 4 of a kind, full house, 3 of a kind, two pair, one pair, and no pair. In the event of a tie, the higher numbers win (i.e. 5 nines beats 5 ones). Also, pick out single-prizes (i.e. recliner, chest) rather than multi-prizes (i.e. luggage, ski equipment), because they tend to have at least two of the same number in their prices, whereas the multi-prizes are often 3 different numbers. |
