AV Poker: World Gambler

Summary

An unlicensed PC Engine release from Games Express, AV Poker isn't a complete poker simulation but rather a straightforward gambling game. Players can select between Normal Mode, a standard game, or Special Mode, where they journey across the globe to demonstrate their gambling prowess. The poker gameplay is very basic—you place a bet, receive a hand, decide which cards to keep, and then get a second draw to replace the discarded ones. If you form any of the standard poker combinations, you win. Afterward, you're given the choice to take your cash or risk it in a higher-lower mini-game to boost your earnings. Occasionally, a fruit machine-style mini-game appears, offering the chance to win 'special' cards that can be used throughout the game.
