Focus of the game is playing Poker, which would require a degree of knowledge. The game does provide rudimentary instruction in how to play Poker and the different variants of the game and the types of winning hands or combinations of cards that would lead to a winning hand. This accessed through a tutorial menu item. There is also encouragement for the player to participate and revel in winning, leading to the purchase of high value goods such as glasses, earrings, wristwear and rings, by using in-game currency. With huge amounts of in-game currency in the ‘pot’ and the large amounts allocated to each player, it is easy to be cavalier in placing bets and to bluff your way through a game with no real consequence for your actions.
