------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------[ VIDEOCART 25: CASINO POKER ]--------------------- ---------------------------------[by Ice Queen Zero]--------------------------- ------------------------------------[Channel F]-------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- o---------------------o INTRODUCTION o---------------------o I started taking up FAQing Channel F games again in my quest to FAQ every game for that system. As you have seen in my previous Channel F guides, I borrow my maternal grandpa's Channel F to play the games and make guides for them instead of the emulator but I still include the controls for those using the emulator. Next Channel F game on my list is Casino Poker. I've done plenty of guides for card games in the past and I can very well use the basic information from one of the other Poker FAQs I may have done before and let the main focus be on the controls and console-specific content. o---------------------o DISCLAIMER o---------------------o Videocart 25: Casino Poker and its characters are trademarks of Fairchild and all copyrights belong to them.
