Q1. "When I play poker with cards, a full house beats a straight. Why does a straight beat a full house in MotionX-Poker?"

A1. In classic card poker, a full house beats a straight. However in dice poker, a straight beats a full house because with five dice, the probability of getting a straight is lower. After one roll, the probability of a straight is 1 in 32.4 as opposed to 1 in 25.9 for a full house.
Good luck!

Q2. "I am playing poker against the dealer but my earnings (number of coins) are not changing?"

A2. Are you on the Rooster Table by any chance? The Rooster Table is a practice table and you can play there all you want without losing or gaining coins. Practice up on the Rooster Table before playing for coins!

Q3. "How does the dealer make decisions?"

A3. The dealer makes logical decisions, constantly evaluating the best options for beating your hand. Sometimes the dealer will 'break' a good hand, realizing that the odds for beating you are better that way.

Q4. "Can I play other dice games such as Yahtzee in MotionX-Poker?"

A4. Yes, you can play Yahtzee in Zen Roll mode. However, we are not scoring automatically as our focus for this game is on the rules of poker. In Zen Roll mode, you can play any dice game you want that uses 5 dice or less. Touch dice to remove them from the table or hold them between rolls.

Q5. "I have an iPhone™, can I install MotionX-Poker?"

A5. You need to have the iPhone™ 2.0 Software installed.

• If you are using an iPhone™ 3G, you already have this.
  
• If you have the original iPhone™, you will need to update to iPhone™ 2.0 Software. To do this, make sure that you have the latest version of iTunes® installed (click here to download), and then connect your iPhone™ to your computer. iTunes® will lead you through the update process.
  
• After you have the iPhone™ 2.0 software installed, you can now install MotionX-Poker (click here to download)!
  

Q6. "I have an iPod® Touch, can I install MotionX-Poker?"

A6. You need to have the iPod® Touch 2.0 Software Installed.

• If you do not have the latest 2.0 Software installed, click here to open the iTunes® Store page for the iPod® Touch 2.0 Software update. Follow the instructions in the iTunes® store.

Q11. "After I restored my iPhone™ using iTunes®, the MotionX-Poker splash screen appears but I'm then returned to the iPhone™ home screen."

A11. There are two methods which should help restore iPhone™ applications to a normal state. A reboot of the iPhone™/Touch should be tried first. If that doesn't work, delete MotionX-Poker and reinstall via the iPhone™/Touch App Store icon. (Note: You will not be charged twice for the same application). To reboot:

1. Hold down the sleep button at the top of your iPhone™ for 4-5 seconds. You should see a slider appear on your screen. Slide the switch to power off.
2. To power back on, press and hold the sleep button.
3. Launch MotionX-Poker again.
   

If the reboot did not solve the issue, follow these steps to reinstall:

1. Press and hold the MotionX-Poker icon. The icons will start to wiggle and you will see an "X" on top of the MotionX Poker icon.
2. Tap on the "X". It's a little tricky to tap, you must touch right on top of it. A popup should confirm you want to delete. Note that deleting the application will reset your statistics to factory settings. Select "Delete".
3. Press the Home button to stop the icon "wiggle".
4. Reboot iPhone™ (see above steps).
5. Select the App Store icon on your iPhone™/Touch and re-download MotionX-Poker. (Please use the iPhone™ App Store icon instead of iTunes® to download)
   Launch MotionX-Poker

Q12: I previously downloaded your application and I see there is an update available. How do I upgrade without being charged again?

A12: Apple® keeps track of all purchases and will not charge you twice for the same application. If you use the Buy Now button to upgrade, you will be told the download is free after you enter your iTunes® username and password. However, we recommend you use the standard update method of launching the App Store icon on your iPhone™ or iPod® Touch, select the Update button at the bottom right and find MotionX-Poker in the list. Alternately you can update from iTunes® under Applications, then sync the update to your iPhone™.

If you continue to experience installation issues, please see “Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store” by Apple®.  The "Reinstall the application" section often addresses the issue.

Q13: Is it possible that my iPhone's (or iPod's) accelerometer will be damaged when I shake to roll the dice?

A13: The miniature accelerometers used in the iPhone™ and iPod® Touch are designed for cars, airplanes, and other vehicles and devices that move and shake all the time for many years. In comparison, your phone or iPod® is a sedentary device! So keep on rolling those dice!
