Matrix Poker is a combination of hazard and combinatorial thinking. The game consists in filling the game board with random numbers (from 1 up to 13) to get a maximum score by forming premium combinations in rows, columns, and on two diagonals.
HOW TO PLAY
To start the game, run MATPOKER.M. You will see 25 empty green cells surrounded by 24 gray cells. Above them there are three buttons ("New", "Count", "Help"), and a green cell with a random number between 1 and 13.
Look at that number in the upper-left corner of the game window and click on an empty cell to place the number. Repeat this step until all green cells are filled by numbers, and try to create as many premium combinations as
possible. After filling all cells, click on "Count" button to see your score. The abbreviations of formed premium combinations, and their values will appear in surrounding gray cells.
To see the rules and the table of premium combinations in your default web browser, click on "Help" button.
To start a new game, click on "New".
