The player's hole cards are displayed, and a reminder of the betting amounts is displayed in the lower right corner. Betting Options: Various combinations of five betting options will flash both above the cards and in the center card during the game, depending on the situation. The options that are flashing are the options that are available in that situation. The five options are: FOLD ­ the player loses any chips he put in the pot and is out of the current hand. BET ("b") ­ the player bets the limit amount for that round. RAISE ("R")­ the player calls the previous bet and raises the limit amount, or the player bets twice the limit amount if he is the first to bet in a round. CHECK ­ the player doesn't place a bet but stays in the pot. In the first round, players don't have to match the big blind to stay in the game unless someone bets in 7 that round. If everyone checks, only the blinds go into the pot in the first round. This encourages players that post the blinds to bet in the first round. CALL ("C")­ the player matches the amount of a previous bet or raise. The first player enters his play by pressing one of the above keys. His amount is adjusted (if necessary) and the next player's number and amount will be displayed. The Texas Hold 'Em game is passed to that player. He presses his NUMBER key to display his two hole cards. He then enters his play by pressing one of the five betting keys. The Texas Hold 'Em game is handed to that player.

All In: If a player doesn't have enough money to call a bet, he presses CALL and the screen displays "ALL IN" and returns the difference to the other players. [. . . ]
