The story
----------------

Bet-5 casino is a simple card gambling game loosely based on Poker and Yathzee.
This game was the entry into the Caiman Casino Games competition in 2008/2009.

----------------
How to play
----------------

Bet-5 is a simple gambling game loosely following rules of 
Poker and Yathzee. The dealer deals 5 cards each from a
deck of 24. Cards have values from 1 to 6 and there are 4
of each. The player has to beat the bank's set of cards
to win. Card sets are as follows in order of value:

Straight: Values in order (1-5 or 2-6)
Four of a kind: 4 same values
Full house: 3 same values and another 2 same values
Three of a kind: 3 same values
Double pair: 2 sets of same values
Pair: 1 set of same values

The player is allowed 1 draw by selecting any unwanted 
cards up to a maximum of 3. During selection the player
can increase the bet up to 5 if he/she thinks chances of
winning are high. After a draw, selected cards will be
replaced by new cards from the deck. The dealer will do
the same after which the best set will win. If both player
and dealer have a similar set, the turn will end in a draw,
causing the bet to return to the player.

The game will end if the player has cleared out the bank
or if the player is out of money.
