Strip poker minigame

Only Erik and Mrs. Johnson can play poker for now

Strip poker minigame is a card minigame that is provided during Erik, Mrs. Johnson and June’s route. This activity is available just before the first branching and can then be played over indefinitely with Erik and Mrs. Johnson at night. It's based on a variation of Texas hold'em with specific game rules.

Screen

The screen is divided into four distinct areas:

• The upper left corner displays the clothes, the hidden hole cards and the last action of Erik.
• The upper right corner gives the same information about Mrs. Johnson.
• The bottom of the screen is reserved for main character, with his cards revealed, and three action buttons.
• In the center are the five community cards dealt face down.

Rules

Like any decent strip poker game, bets are made up of clothes, for a maximum of 6 for each player.

Each player is dealt with two hole cards face down. A round of betting begins and you can either Call to bet more; Fold to discard your hand (Erik's and Mrs. Johnson's bets played from the time you fold will then be omitted at the start of the next round); or declare All in. Erik and Mrs. Johnson then choose their actions, either to follow you or not. At the end of each round, a new community card is face up and added to the players' hands.

If a player bets and all other players fold, then the remaining player is awarded the pot. If two or more players remain after the final betting round, a showdown occurs: the player with the best poker hand made from the seven cards wins the pot. If the best hand is shared by more than one player, then nobody wins and the pot is lost.

The minigame starts a new play if each player still has a bet; otherwise, if the main character, Erik or Mrs. Johnson has lost all clothes, it ends.
