The Button Bar contains the various displays and controls that allow you to play Video Poker. Although there are several different variants of the game, they all work in broadly the same way, and share a common set of controls.
Ticker Display. This is the display window at the top of the Button Bar. It displays information relevant to the game.
Coins Balance Display. This display is on the left of the Button Bar, and shows you how many Coins you have left to bet. Note that this will vary depending on the value of the coins you are using. If you have 1000 credits and are using 1-credit coins, the Coin Balance will read 1000. If you are using 100-credit coins, the Coin Balance will read 10.
Coin Selector. The Coin Selector looks slightly different on each game, but always shows a coin of the value that is currently selected for betting on this game. To change the value of the coins you are using, click on the Coin Selector until you have selected the coin of the value you want.
Coins Display. The Coins display is just above the Double and Collect buttons. It shows how many Coins are set to be bet on each hand. You can change this either by clicking on the Bet One button, the Bet Max button, or on one of the payout columns in the Pay Table.
Bet Display. This screen is just above the Bet One and the Bet Max buttons, and it shows the total number of Credits that are set to be bet on the next hand.
Win Display. Just above the Deal/Draw button, when you get a winning hand, this screen will display how many credits you have won.
Double Button. The Double Button, along with the Collect button, only becomes active when you have won a payout. Clicking on the Double button starts the gambling mini-game that gives you a chance to increase your winnings.
Collect Button. Like the Double button, the Collect button only becomes active when you have won a payout. Clicking the Collect button retrieves your winnings and deposits them in your account, ready for the next hand.
Bet One Button. The Bet One button increases the number of coins you are betting on each hand, by one coin, up to the maximum possible for the game being played. Clicking the Bet One button again returns the number of coins being bet to one.
Bet Max Button. The Bet Max button is positioned on the right, just next to the Deal/Draw button. Clicking the Bet Max button sets the bet to the maximum number of coins for this game, and automatically deals a new hand.
Note: the Bet Max button will not change the value of the coins you have selected; it will only bet the maximum number of coins possible on a single hand.
Deal/Draw Button. Before a game begins, this button is the Deal button, and once the value and number of coins to wager has been selected, clicking on it deals five cards and begins the game.
Once a game is in progress, the label on the button changes to Draw, and it is used to request replacement cards for the ones that were not held.
