Today my computer informed me that there were windows updates I should download and I thought to take a look, since I usually never check what these updates are. Apart from the Definition Update for Windows Defender, I was expected to download 2 Windows Ultimate Extras which were available to install. While the first (DreamScene) doesn't interest me, the second one was a big surprise for me! It was a Hold Em Poker Game!
Upon searching a bit in the internet, I found that it is not a late addition and it is available since 01/07! According to WindowsUltimate.com, "Hold
'Em sets you against the computer for no-limit poker fun. Hold 'Em may
cost you time, but your money is safe because the chips are not real.
Hold 'Em uses Microsoft® DirectX® technology for smooth animated play
and rich graphics. Users can change options to play against up to five
computer players, set the opponents’ skill level, and customize the
look of the card deck and playing table".
According to various sites, it is only available for Ultimate editions of Microsoft Windows and there is also a cheat found in Wintellect.com: "If you go all in and lose quickly log off and don't save the game. The loss won't count against you". Interesting...
