    Discarding Cards and Scoring Hands

    Each hand in Poker Rush starts as ready-for-scoring with the hand image in the bottom of the card indicating that the card is 'held' (i.e. selected for scoring). Clicking on each 'held' card marks it for a discard -- the card immediately gets darker and the word 'discard' appears on it. Similarly, clicking on each card marked for discard marks it again as a 'held' card (i.e. selected for scoring).

    The cards marked for a discard will get discarded once the 'Draw' button is pressed. These cards will get replaced by the new cards from the deck. The players get 3 opportunities to score a hand on the 1st, 2nd or 3rd draw. After that, the hand will have to be scored (by pressing the 'Score Hand' button).

    Note:
  • separate decks do not mix - in order to avoid 'unseemly' pairs of the same card in one hand.
  • the current deck is displaying the number of cards left in it
  • The game may not let you select/discard the full amount of cards when:
      (a) you are close to the end of the 1st deck -- it has less than 5 cards left
      (b) the second deck is drawing to a close -- it has less than 5 cards left


    Poker Rush vs. Poker

    Poker Rush DIFFERS from well-known casino-style poker games. As opposed to casino-style Video Poker (which is played against the House), Poker Rush is a game of Skill, played against Other Real People competing for Top Score.

    The following additional elements of Poker Rush make it a game of skill:
  • Poker Rush does not reshuffle the deck(s) after each draw
  • Poker Rush allows three player-selected opportunities for draws per each hand
  • Poker Rush requires its participants to compete against each other on a time basis in memorization, strategy and eye-hand coordination skills

    Please note - there's NO Gambling or Casino-style Games at GameColony.com. GameColony Tournament participants never play against the 'House' but compete only against other real players using their Skill to achieve the Top Score. Each player contributes a small entry fee in Tickets to compete, and the winner gets the pot.
