Bicycle Poker Download (1996 Strategy Game)

Bicycle Poker offers a wide variety of game options, tutorials, animated opponents, narration, and an option for online play. Environments (e.g., winter and summer), multiple front and back card designs (size and font), and sound themes (five different soundtracks) are designed to bring the game of poker to life.

Game options include a dozen variations and feature five, six or seven game stud and a shotgun mode. A wide range of draw and bet options are available and can be configured to meet personal preferences. Users can give a name and face to their own character, which, along with the portraits of opponents, is displayed during the game. Animations accompany big wins or losses.

Step-by-step guidance is available during tutorial mode, which fully explains all standard poker terms. Hints can be viewed at any time during gameplay via a dialogue box that offers information on betting and drawing as well as sarcastic comments by other players in the game. Optional narration provides verbalization of every move in the game combined with sounds of shuffling and the clatter of chips being tossed into the pot.

Bicycle Poker offers multiplayer action via the Internet at the Microsoft Gaming Network or can be played solo against computer-controlled opponents.

Bicycle Poker has everything you need to polish your skills in this legendary American game. Your PC deals the cards and arranges the game, making complex variations or draw and stud poker easy to learn and play. While anyone can learn to play poker, to play well requires a balance of wits and guts. That's why eight different characters are included with Bicycle Poker, all dying to separate you from your chips.

Draw Poker:

This familiar form of poker offers beginners and experts alike a chance to hone their skills in the basics. On line rules list the priority of hands and a handy table displays the play for each player in each hand of the game. Once you have mastered the five-card draw, add some wild cards and see how they affect the odds, or try your hand at Stud Poker.

Stud Poker:

In contrast to Draw Poker, Stud Poker is the game that truly tests the mettle of players. Available in five, six, and seven-card variations, Stud Poker allows you to gauge the strength of your opponents' hands, but also leaves the game open to bluffing. With only one "Hole-Card," five-card stud involves more skill, bluffing and guile than five-card draw.
