Nice, very fun! Did freeze after playing a few hands.

There's a video poker version, which I played on a machine years ago, where after being dealt a winning hand we have an option to infinitely double the winnings if we correctly guess if the next card is higher or lower than 7. Does anyone know what I am talking about and what the name of this poker variation is called?

The visuals are perfect, looks very much like a CRT...nicely done. I think I found a bug though...pair of Aces doesn't pay as "Jacks or Better": https://imgur.com/a/78B3oPV

Aces are the low card in the game. You are not the first person to say this! I need to look at the math again to make them high cards... However in my opinion (at risk of getting everyones ire) - I think the ace is the "1" card.

... That's not how poker works though. I haven't had the luck to reproduce it, but is 10-J-Q-K-A also not recognized as a straight?

I saw it too in the 90s, unfortunately I can't remember the game's name.

So if aces are considered "1", how do you think a Royal Flush works? It wraps back around to 1?

Ace needs to act like 14 for Jacks or higher purposes, and both 1 and 14 for straights.

Very cool and nostalgic app. I remember playing this for hours on my great-uncle's little pocket game.
