Harvest Moon DS: Casino: Poker

I know it's not very proper to post this without posting a guide to Harvest Moon itself, but you can find one at http://fogu.com/hm6/ but they don't have a proper guide to the Casino game, Poker, so I'll try and lay out a few principles I try to stay by. (I'll include screenshots when I have more time.)

Of course, before anything, you have to buy medals! I suggest you buy around 30 and then begin playing.

Note: There's not even half a point in memorising what multiplies your medals by how much. Your score will be displayed so you don't have to.

When you first go to Hops, he will welcome you and give you the option of playing poker, see how to play, and quit. Of course, if it is your first time, you might want to see how to play poker, but since I'm already showing you, maybe not :). So select play poker.

First, you have to decide how many medals you wish to bet. Bet 10. It's not much.

The cards that sparkle are part of a winning hand. Usually, you'll have at least one pair. Well, in my luck anyway. Then you can select the cards you wish to trade to get more cards that sparkle together to multiply your score. I suggest selecting all cards that don't sparkle, so if you have no part of a winning hand, just select all, then press OK.

After you press the OK button, and you have at least two cards that are sparkling, the screen will say 'You win!' and give you the options of Doubling Up, playing another round, and quitting. (And if you don't win, it will say 'You lose' and you'll have to start another round, or quit.) Always go for double up, unless you got Royal Flush (which isn't as rare as it seems!), and you're new to it.

So that's about it about Poker. Next post will be about Doubling Up :D.
