Portfolio Poker is a variation of five-card draw poker that is used in
video machines in gambling casinos.  You start with $10 and can bet
from one to five quarters per hand.  Once you are dealt your cards,
mark the cards you wish to hold.  When you're ready, your discards are
replaced by new cards.  The value of your hand is calculated and any
winnings are added to your total.  The value of your hand is based on
the follwing table:

                Ŀ
                 Pair > Jacks  1-1  Full house       9-1
                 Two pair      2-1  4 of a kind     25-1
                 3 of a kind   3-1  Straight flush  50-1
                 Straight      4-1  Royal flush    250-1
                 Flush         6-1                      
                

This game is addictive.  Don't blame me if you run down your Portfolio
batteries.
