Poker Pursuit enables the poker player to raise good hands and minimise betting on moderate hands.
The objective of the Game
Poker Pursuit is Video Poker with a difference! You will
find Video Poker machines in just about every casino. Video
Poker is enormously popular with players as it is your skill
that can make the difference between winning and losing.
Whereas in Video Poker you bet just once and play, in Poker
Pursuit you get the chance to increase your stake as the cards
are dealt. Your winnings are based on the Poker
Hands.
You have no dealer to beat, you are rewarded on the Poker value
of your hand (see below). If you have increased your bet all the way
through you get paid accordingly! So, the objective is to maximize
your winnings and minimize your losses.
How to Play
You will be dealt five cards in total, but first, you are dealt
just three. You place an initial bet before you receive your first
three cards. Based on your cards you must then decide to either
place another bet (Raise) or simply call (Call) for another card.
Once again you can decide whether to Raise or Call for your last
card.
