Hand Ranks:

When you are dealt replacement cards for your discards, your new hand is evaulated. Based on what kind of hand you're holding, you'll receive a certain number of points.

Hands are listed below, from best (highest scoring), to worst (no score):

• Royal Flush - 2000 points

  A straight flush, with the Ace high.

  In other words, a Ten, Jack, Queen, King and Ace, all of the same suit.

• Straight Flush - 250 points

  A straight flush.

  In other words, all five cards are consecutive and are the same suit.

  For example: Three of Clubs, Four of Clubs, Five of Clubs, Six of Clubs and Seven of Clubs.

• Four of a Kind - 125 points

  Four cards of the same value. (Obviously, each of different suits.)

• Full House - 40 points

  A three of a kind and a pair at the same time.

• Flush - x 25 points

  All cards in your hand are the same suit.

• Straight - 20 points

  All five cards are consecutive.

  For example: Three of Clubs, Four of Spades, Five of Clubs, Six of Diamonds, and Seven of Hearts.

• Three of a Kind - 15 points

  Three cards of the same value.

• Two Pair - 10 points

  Two pairs of cards.

  In other words, two cards in your hand are the same value, and two other cards in your hand are also the same value.

• Pair - 5 points

  Two cards in your hand are the same value. In this version, they must be Jacks or better!

• None of the Above - 0 points

Each turn "costs" 5 points, so if you get a pair, no points actually end up added to your total score. If you don't get anything, you actually lose five points! This is just how handheld and Vegas video poker games work!
