Texas Hold ‘Em

Operating Manual

Congratulations on your purchase of The World Series of

Poker Texas Hold ‘Em by Excalibur Electronics! You

and your friends will have hours of fun. You can play the

most popular form of poker in the world, from a two-handed

game to a full seven-player table, with any combination of human

and computer opponents!

The World Series of Poker Texas Hold ‘Em is easy to use, but be

sure to use it safely. Before starting, please read this manual thor-

oughly, especially noting safety, care and battery information.

Keep this manual for reference.

The legendary King Arthur brandished a magic

sword, Excalibur, from which we take our com-

pany name. With this unique weapon in his hands,

he could not be vanquished.

Although Excalibur Electronics can’t claim the

magical secrets of Merlin, King Arthur’s court

wizard, sometimes our patented technology may

make it seem as if we could. The World Series of

Poker Texas Hold ‘Em is another unmatched

innovation of Excalibur Electronics.

We make you think.

Texas Hold 'Em can be played

by two to seven players — either

human or computer. You may set

up any combination of people and

computer hands totalling seven as

long as at least one of the hands is

to be played by a person. Some

possible combinations are:

•You play one hand and the

computer plays one hand.

•You and a friend each play

one hand against each other.

•You play one hand and the

computer plays four hands.

•You and a friend each play

two hands against each other.

•You, your friend and the

computer each play one

hand.

•Any combination you can

think of.

REMINDER: At least one of

the hands must be set up to be

played by a person.

Setting the

Betting Limits

Before you play a game, you

need to set the betting limits and

the amount each player starts

with. The limits tell you how

much the bet is in each round.

During the first and second bet-

ting rounds, the lower limit is

used. The upper limit is used in

the third and fourth betting

rounds. For example, if the limit

was “10—20,” $10 would be the

bet amount in betting rounds one

and two, and $20 would be the bet

amount in betting rounds three

and four.

Note: The first player to bet in

each round has the option of bet-

ting double the limit for that

round. If the first player checks,

the next player has the option, and

so forth around the table.

The limits that can be set are

10—20, 20—40, 40—80, 60--120

and 90—180. Press the LIMIT key

repeatedly until the limits you

want to use are displayed.

Texas Hold ‘Em

Setting the

Starting Amount

Next you need to set the

amount each player starts the

game with. The starting amounts

that can be set are 2,000, 6,000,

10,000, 50,000 and 120,000.

Press the AMOUNT key until the

amount you want each player to

start with is displayed.

Setting up the

Players

Finally, you need to set up each

player. Players may be people or

the computer. You may set up any

combination of seven players,

except that at least one of the

players must be set up to be a per-

son. Set up each player as fol-

lows:

1. Press the NUMBER key (1

through 7) for the player you

want to set up. P1 (or P2, P3,

etc.) is displayed, indicating that

the player is to be a person. Press

the NUMBER key again. C1 (or

C2, C3, etc.) is displayed, indi-

cating the player is to be the com-

puter. If you press the NUMBER

key again, nothing is displayed

indicating there is no player for

this position. Press the NUMBER

key repeatedly until the kind of

player (computer, person or none)

is correct.

2. Set up the remaining players

using the other NUMBER keys in

the same manner. Remember to

set up at least one player to be a

person.

Playing the

Game

—

How to begin: After you have

set up all the players, press START

to start the game. “DEALER”

flashes and one of the player

icons (P1, C1, etc.) also flashes.

That player is the dealer for the

first hand. The value of the blinds

are then automatically subtracted

from the players’ reserve. (See

“Blinds” under “Rules,” below.)

The screen shows each player's

number and the value of his chips.

The cards are shuffled and two

cards are dealt to each player. The

number of the first player to play

is displayed along with the

amount of his reserve.

If the first player to play is the

computer, it will automatically

make its play and go on to the

next player.

If the first player to play is a

person, his player number is dis-

played along with his amount of

reserve. The Texas Hold ‘Em

game is passed to that player. The

player presses his NUMBER key,

being careful not to let the other

players see the screen. The play-

er’s hole cards are displayed, and

a reminder of the betting amounts

is displayed in the lower right cor-

ner.

Betting Options: Various

combinations of five betting

options will flash both above the

cards and in the center card dur-

ing 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

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 neces-

sary) 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 next player's number

appears. The Texas Hold 'Em

game is handed to that player.

This continues around the table

until the first betting round is

completed.

Second Betting Round: After

the first betting round is complet-

ed, the first three cards on the

table are revealed (the flop). The

number of the player to play first

is displayed along with the

amount of his reserve. The Texas

Hold ‘Em game is passed to that

player (or the computer makes its

play automatically.) That player

presses his NUMBER key to display

his two hole cards. After he makes

his play, the next player's number

appears. This continues around

the table until the second betting

round is completed.

Third Betting Round: After

the second betting round is com-

pleted, the fourth card on the table

is revealed (the turn). The limit is

now twice what it was in the first

two rounds. Play continues

around the table until the third

betting round is completed.

Fourth Betting Round: Once

the third betting round has been

completed, the fifth and final card

on the table is revealed (the river).

The limit is now twice what it was

in the first two rounds. Play pro-

ceeds around the table until the

fourth betting round is completed.

Completion of Game: After

the fourth betting round is fin-

ished, the NUMBER of the player to

show his hand first is displayed

along with the amount of his

reserve. The five table cards are

displayed alongside the player's

face-down hole cards.

That player presses his NUMBER

key to reveal his two hole cards.

He can then use the seven NUM-

BER keys to pick his five best

cards. The screen displays the

word “HOLD” under each card

picked. A player can also press

the CALL key to automatically

pick his best five cards.

Once the five cards have been

picked, the player presses the

DEAL key to confirm his hand.

The cards will then be displayed

in the upper left of the screen

along with the player's flashing

number. That is now the hand to

beat. The player number of the

next player is displayed.

That player picks out his best

five cards and presses DEAL to

confirm. If his hand beats the

hand at the top, it replaces it, and

his player number flashes. This is

the new hand to beat. This contin-

ues until all players have shown

their hands.

After all hands have been

revealed, the screen will show the

winning hand and the player's

number, and will also update the

amount of money each player

now has remaining.

After the completion of the

hand, new players can join the

game if there are any positions

not being played. New players

must be set up in the same way

the original players were. There

will be positions open when play-

ers go bankrupt or at positions

that were not used from the begin-

ning.

After new players are added,

press DEAL to deal the next hand.

Hands are played until one

player has all of the money. That

player wins the game.

Beginning a New Game: Press

and hold the NEW GAME key for

three seconds to start a new game.

Players’ totals will be reset, so

don't don’t press this button until

you have a winner.

Interrupting a Game: If the

game is turned off (manually or

automatically) before a game is

over, the game will remain in

memory and play can resume

when it is turned back on.

—

Blinds: Blinds are advanced

bets automatically placed for two

players each hand. The blinds

rotate to the left with each hand.

The blind is applied to a player's

first bet or raise. If that player

the blind as all or part of his

bet/raise. If he folds, he loses the

blind plus anything else he put in

the pot. All blinds are automati-

cally deducted before play begins.

There are two required blinds

for each hand. The small blind is

equal to half the lower betting

limit. The small blind is posted by

the first player to the dealer's left.

The big blind is equal to the lower

betting limit. The big blind is

posted by the second player to the

dealer's left. If there are only two

players, the dealer posts the big

blind.

All In: If a player doesn't have

enough money to call a bet, he

presses CALL and the screen dis-

plays “ALL IN” and returns the

difference to the other players.
