Wikipedia Poker:
Poker is a popular type of
card game in which players
bet on the value of the card combination ("hand") in their possession, by placing a
bet into a central
pot. The winner is the one who holds the hand with the highest value according to an established
hand rankings hierarchy, or otherwise the player who remains "in the hand" after all others have
folded (the player who makes an
un-called bet.).
Poker has many
variations, all following a similar pattern of play. Depending on the variant, hands may be formed using cards which are concealed from others, or from a combination of
concealed cards and
community cards.
Other games that use poker hand rankings may likewise be referred to as "poker."
Video poker is a single-player
computer game that functions much like a
slot machine.
