How to Play

The Fat Diamond Table is your dealer in a game played against other players at the same table.

Playing the table is as simple as registering with the administrator as you would with any other poker room. The administrator collects any fees or stake and will assign you to a specific seat and table. You will be given a player's card which will be your identification to the Fat Diamond table. Simply insert the card into the card reader at your assigned seat to join the table

 How do I ...?

1. Join a game: Insert the magnetic card given to you by the administrator. Magnetic stripe facing up. If there is a game already in progress you will be asked to choose between Post the big blind to join the game" on the next hand or "Wait for the big blind to join the game" when the big blind comes to your position (see Rules for details)

In the screen "you" as a player are situated in the center of the screen; the player at your left hand side will be shown left to you in the screen and the player on the right hand will be on your right on the screen.

When it is your turn to play (after the blinds were paid) your cards will turn red, (like the image on the left) otherwise your cards will be yellow (like the image on the right)
 
2. Table stakes The amount of each player's Table Stake is indicated just below the player's name.

3. “Your screen” Each screen is divided into 3 sections. The top portion of the screen is common to all players. The lower portion is specific to your play. In the lower left with the “Card Concealment Cover” will be your “hole” or down cards. To view your cards simply lift the cover while protecting view from other players. The lower right is your play control screen. Here is where your options for play are shown. To activate the selections in the area simply touch the screen with a finger.

4. Start a game: The Administrator will start a game once sufficient players join the table. In some cases the game will start automatically once a preset number of players have joined the table. "After a hand finishes, a new hand will be dealt automatically; always based on the game type active in the Table" 5. Determine the dealer:A card will be dealt face up to each player and the player with the highest card will be the dealer (first dealt if there is a tie). A "button" is used to indicate the position of the dealer. If more than sufficient players decide to sit out, a new dealer will be required once they join back; therefore a new set of cards will be dealt and follow same rules as above"

6. Posting the blinds: The blind must be posted by the players to the left of the dealer. If this is you then you will be prompted with a “Post Small Blind” or “Post Big Blind” as required. Simply touch the screen on the button to activate.
You may choose to enable "auto-blinds" through the options menu.

 

 

7. Where are my cards: Under the flap on the lower left corner of the screen you may find your cards. Tip: use one or both hands to cover your cards while lifting the flap to avoid other players from seeing them; the same way you would do in a regular Poker game.

8. Where are the community cards: The community cards are shown in the top portion of your screen as play dictates; these cards will be seeing by all players. (see image below)

9. Place a bet: Before the blinds are paid, the player required to post is represented with a red button.

After the blinds are posted active players in the hand will have cards shown at their respective positions in the upper portion of your screen. The red set of cards indicates the current player. If it is your turn to play options available on each turn are presented in the lower right corner of your screen. Just touch the desired button to indicate your preference. For example: "FOLD", "CALL (15)" or "CHECK", "RAISE (45)", etc. In No limit and Pot Limit games there is an option to specify a different amount to be raised like the one above RAISE (45 up to 4989.5).When That button is pressed the following window will appear.
At this point you can enter an amount greater than or equal to the minimum RAISE amount (45 in this case), but less then or equal to the maximum amount. The maximum amount will be either ‘All In’ (All your stake) in a No Limit game or the ‘Pot Amount’ in a Pot Limit game. Hitting the button label respectively as such will automatically enter that amount. At any point you can hit ‘CANCEL’ to stop this raise action and return to your default bet options or hit ‘RAISE’ to apply a raise of the amount you have entered. (A No Limit game is currently being displayed.)

A play-time limit could be imposed, if so, make sure to play before the time runs out". Time limit is indicated by a red bar on the right side of the "play" screen, where the maximum time is represented by a full red bar; once the bar hits the bottom the time is over and a default decision will be made (blind dues are force to be paid, otherwise the hand will fold).

10. Know how much is in the pot: Each time a bet is placed the amount will be shown in the Pot, located to the left side of the screen. Side pots, if any, will be shown to the left of the bet options (lower right corner of the screen)

11. Know the last player Action: color:white'>The player in turn will have red cards at their position and the light on top of the table will be "ON". Once a bet is placed the action will be reflected in any of the following ways: (Amounts shown bellow the player's nickname indicates the current stake, the amount at the top indicates how much that player has bet in the current round)

Call Raise Fold Check Turn

12. Muck or show my cards: At the end of every hand you may be asked to decide whether to show your cards or not . "Muck" will not show your cards, although you may still win if you decide to muck your cards. "Low" and "High" will show only one card based on your selection. There is a time restriction to decide (progress bar on the right hand side), once the progress bar reaches the bottom, a default decision will be made for you (usually muck, but ultimately depends on the Administrator settings)

13. Determine who won the hand: Once all players participating in the game have decided about showing or not showing their cards, a winner will be determined and shown as follow: (lower right corner of your screen, notice that you may scroll the screen using up or down arrows)

14. Know what to do with tax deductions: Some jurisdictions may set a taxable amount that will indicate a starting point for tax collection. Please ask an attendant if taxation is active in this jurisdiction. After winning a hand you may "View Last hand" (explained below) to verify any tax amount deducted from your winnings. Ask the attendant for tax receipt procedure. The total amount paid in taxes will show in your account once you check out at the cashier.

15. Know what other options are available: By selecting one of the options below you may be able to:

- Help: Access to this help screen.
- Enable Auto Blinds: Enable auto blinds will collect due blinds without a prompt, making the game even faster. You are not required to press the blind button.
- Sit Out: Use this option when you are just going for a break and have no intentions to leave the game.
Sit out decision should be made before the next hand is dealt. A player sitting out pays all due blinds, therefore is eligible for winning a hand if all others fold"
- View last hand: At any time you are able to check what happened in the last hand by selecting this option. Action by action, excluding mucked cards.
- Check out: Use this option to leave the game. After the current hand finishes if any is being played you'll be checked out of the table. To collect your winning please go to the Administrator with the same card you used to login to the table. Check out decision should be made before the next hand is dealt"

Request Attendant service. Touching the bell will place a service call and one of the attendants will be with you promptly.
-
Changing the Language . Pressing the Bottom Center button will change the language being currently displayed to that language. This button will cycle thought all available languages.

16. Dispute a decision: If for any reason you believe something was not right, please contact the Administrator. The Administrator has the ability to check the last 50 hands including the mucked cards, unlike a regular player.
