- TEXAS HOLD’EM POKER:
For complete online instructions on how to play Texas Hold’Em Poker, visit
the Website and follow the online instructions to enter Texas Hold’Em
Poker where you will be able to download instructions on how to play
Texas Hold’Em Poker.
Once you have entered Texas Hold’Em Poker, you will be able to browse all available
“Poker Tables.” At each Poker Table, there can be up to eight (8) PID’ed
participants. A minimum of ten (10) Poker Tables will be available with
additional Poker Tables becoming available (at Sponsor’s discretion) following
the maximum capacity of participants at each Poker Table. Click on the Poker
Table of your choice to begin playing. Note that each Poker Table may have a
different assigned low and high bet. (Example: in a 2/4 Poker Table, the low
bet is two [2] and the high bet is four [4].) If the Poker Table you would
like to join is full, you can join a Poker Table’s waitlist or select a
different Poker Table. You will only be able to play at a Poker Table if
you have at least ten (10) times the small bet limit of Points in your
Points Account. (Example: at a 2/4 Poker Table, two [2] is the small bet
and four [4] is the large bet. You must have a balance of at least twenty
[20] Points in your Points Account or you will not be able to play.) Once a bet is made, the Points that you bet will be deducted from
your Points Account, and your bet cannot be changed, altered or modified.
You MUST complete your turn at any Poker Table within fifteen (15) seconds
of your indicated turn (except in the case of a “disconnect,” as set
forth below). If you fail to complete your turn at the end of the fifteen
(15) seconds time limit, you will not be able to continue to play in that
Poker Hand (as defined hereafter) and it will be an automatic “fold.”
A “Poker Hand” begins with the dealing of cards and ends when the winner
of the Poker Hand is determined. There is a limit of four (4) “Rounds”
of betting per Poker Hand. At any time during your turn in a Round, you
may determine how much time you have left by viewing the indicator light
located next to your Alias (associated with your PID). Green is shown
during the first five (5) seconds of your turn, then yellow for the
next five (5) seconds, and finally red when five (5) seconds remains.
The participant that has the best five-card Poker Hand at the end of the four (4)
Rounds wins that Game’s Poker Hand and the total amount of Points bet in that Poker
Hand. All online PID’ed participants will be identified by his/her Alias and will
be playing participants in real time. The computer is the automatic card distributor
“Dealer” for each Poker Hand and will change position moving in a clockwise
direction around the Poker Table at the end of each Poker Hand. Before the
cards are dealt, the participant to the immediate left of the Dealer is required
to post the small blind and the participant to his/her left is required to post
the big blind. The small blind is half of the lower betting limit. The big blind
is the full lower betting limit. (Example: at a 2/4 Poker Table, the small blind
is one [1] and the big blind is two [2].) The first two cards are dealt to each
player facedown (the “pocket cards”). The person to the left of the big blind
starts the first Round of betting. Each Poker Hand will proceed in accordance
with the Game rules found by clicking the “Hold’Em How-To” link. The Game Server
will automatically keep track of each Round and each Poker Hand and will also
determine the winner of each Poker Hand. In the event of a tied Poker Hand,
the tie will be addressed in accordance with the rules found by clicking on
the “Hold’Em How-To” link.
BLACKJACK: For complete online instructions on how to play single player Blackjack,
visit the Website and follow the online instructions to enter Blackjack where you will be
able to download instructions on how to play Blackjack. Once you have entered Blackjack,
you will be taken to the “Blackjack Table.” At the Blackjack Table, you must first
place a bet. To place a bet, click on the icon, banner or text link situated in the
lower right corner of the computer screen. Bets can be made in denominations of 1, 5,
25 or 100 Points. Players may multiply their bet by double-clicking on the denomination
icon, banner or text link. The bet will multiply in increments of the original
denomination of the bet. Stacks of Points will reflect your bet on the Blackjack
Table. You may reduce the amount of your bet by clicking on the stack of Points on
the Blackjack Table and following the online instructions. Bets may only be changed
before the “Deal” icon is clicked. You may bet any amount of Points at the Blackjack
Table as long as those Points are available in your Points Account. Once you have
completed betting, you must click the “Deal” icon to begin the Blackjack Hand
(defined below). The “Deal” icon will allow two cards to be dealt face up to you
and two cards, one face up, one face down to the online Dealer, a “Blackjack Hand.”
You will have the option to click on the highlighted, valid, available icon,
banner or text link for the Blackjack Hand (such as Double, Hit, Split, Stand,
etc.) on the left side of the screen. Only valid and available icons, banners or
text links will be highlighted. (For example, a player is not able to choose the
Split button if they are dealt a three [3] and a four [4].) You will only be able
to Split a Blackjack Hand two (2) times during a Deal. The Game Server will
automatically keep track of each Blackjack Hand and will determine the winner
of each Blackjack Hand.
ROULETTE: For complete online instructions on how to play single player Roulette,
visit the Website and follow the online instructions to enter Roulette where you will
be able to download instructions on how to play Roulette. Once you have entered
Roulette, you will be taken to the “Roulette Wheel.” At the Roulette Wheel, you
must first place a bet. You can place multiple bets on a single Spin; however, you
cannot play more than one Spin at a time. To place a bet, click on the icon,
banner or text link situated in the lower right corner of the computer screen.
Bets can be made in denominations of 1, 5, 25 or 100 Points. You may multiply your
bet by double-clicking on the denomination icon, banner or text link. The bet will
multiply in increments of the original denomination of the bet. You will then need
to roll over the number area on the Roulette Wheel and click on the icon, banner or
text link where you wish to place your bet. To remove a placed bet, the player must
click once on the Points on the Roulette Table. To add to a bet already placed on
the Roulette Table, you must roll over the number area on the Roulette Wheel and
click on the icon, banner or text link where you wish to place your bet. You may
bet any amount of Points at the Roulette Wheel as long as those Points are available
in your Points Account. Once the player has completed betting, he/she must click
the “Spin” icon to spin the Roulette Wheel. Once you click on the “Spin” icon, you
can no longer place a bet for that “Spin.” The Game Server will automatically keep
track of each Spin and will determine the winner of each Spin. Payoffs for bets
are set forth at the “Roulette” icon on the Website.
- CHEAT FACTOR:
Players in both Roulette and Blackjack will be given the opportunity to perform a “Cheat”
once per Promotion Period in BOTH Blackjack and Roulette. A Cheat will allow you to
break the normal rules of Roulette or Blackjack, as stated in the “Blackjack How–To”
section or the “Roulette How–To” section. You may choose to use your Cheat at any
time in Roulette and Blackjack. You will be able to see Cheats as indicated by a
sparkle icon over the Dealer’s cards in Blackjack or over the top of the Wheel in
Roulette. When you choose to use your Cheat, click on the “Cheat Now” icon, banner
or text link, and you will be given a list of choices as to which Cheat options are
available for Roulette or Blackjack. If you choose not to use your Cheat option, the
sparkle icon will remain over the Dealer’s cards in Blackjack or over the Wheel in
Roulette. Cheats in either Roulette or Blackjack that have not been used by 11:59:59
p.m. ET on any given Promotion Period will be forfeited. There are no Cheats available
for Texas Hold’Em Poker.
- FOR ALL GAMES: When betting, the amount of Points bet by
any participant is automatically deducted from that participant’s Points Account.
When a Poker Hand is won, a Blackjack Hand is won or a Roulette Spin is won, all
of the Points bet and the result of the Points bet for that Poker Hand, Blackjack
Hand or Roulette Spin are automatically placed in the winner’s Points Account.
Should Sponsor determine, in its sole opinion, whether the winning, losing or
playing of any Round, Poker Hand, Blackjack Hand, Roulette Spin or any other Game
was not achieved in accordance with these Official Rules, or in accordance with the
rules found by clicking on the “Play Poker Now,” “Play Blackjack Now” or “Play
Roulette Now” icon, banner or text links, or by manipulating the Games or any portion
of the Games in any manner whatsoever which was not specifically authorized by
Sponsor, the participant(s) who is found, as solely determined by Sponsor, to be
responsible will be disqualified from the Games, his/her Points will be forfeited
and his/her Points Account will be closed.
- DETERMINATION OF SUPER SATURDAY GAME WINNERS:
At the end of each Promotion Period, the top one hundred (100) players with the most
Points will be the Super Saturday winners and will receive a prize (as defined below).
The player with the highest number of Points is the provisional Grand Prize winner.
The nineteen (19) players with the next highest Points are the provisional First
Prize winners. The thirty (30) players with the next highest Points are the provisional
Second Prize winners. The fifty (50) players with the next highest Points are
the provisional Third Prize winners. Determination of Game winners will occur

were played. In case of a tie, winner(s) will be determined by the player with
the most Points by 11:00:00 p.m. ET (including all players who are tied) on a
given Promotion Period. If a tie still continues, then the tie will be broken
by the player with the most Points accumulated by 10:00:00 p.m. ET (including
all players who are tied) on the given Promotion Period. If a tie still continues,
the tie will be broken by the player with the most Points accumulated one (1)

While not obligated to do so, Sponsor may post and players may view the top one
hundred (100) scores displayed by a participant’s Alias at any time by accessing
the Website and following the online instructions for viewing the Leader Board.
Please note that while reasonable attempts will be made to ensure that the list
of scores is current and valid, due to possible technical issues, the posted

scores will be verified for accuracy. Super Saturday Game Grand and First Prize
winners will be notified by mail, overnight mail, e-mail and/or phone on or

All Super Saturday participants will be automatically entered into a Second
Chance Drawing to be eligible to win any remaining, unclaimed or forfeited
Grand and First Prizes. Limit one (1) entry per person. Provisional Second
Chance Drawing winner(s) will be selected in a random drawing held on or about
5/19/06 from among all eligible entries received by an independent judging
agency. Odds of winning depend on the number of unclaimed or forfeited
prizes and the number of eligible entries received. Limit one (1) prize
per person of any prize awarded in the Second Chance Drawing.

your Poker Hand will automatically be folded. If you are disconnected, reconnect
to the Website and you will be taken to the Main Lobby. Select the Table at which
you were sitting before being disconnected and resume play. If the participant
