There are many possibilities to make money. Still finding it difficult? The following list is a small peek into the possibilities :

By attacking others you can earn extra cash. After a successful attack you get a percentage of the players pocketed cash. Your opponent will also lose health. There is, however, a maximum on the number of attacks you can launch. Per 24 hours, you can commit 10 attacks on your fellow players, and 2 attacks on the same person.

The more bullets you fire, the higher your chances of success are. The opponent will also lose more health this way. There is no 100% guarantee that you will win. 1 thing is for sure though, the higher your strength and rank are, the more chance you have of winning .

There are also drawbacks to an attack. Launching an attack will cost you some strength. Therefore, choose your victims carefully. If you lose an attack that you launched, you will lose health.

Sometimes you will not be able to attack someone. This can be caused by the following things:
- You are protected
- Your victim is protected
- Your victim is on vacation
- You've already commit 10 attacks today, or you've already attacked this player 2 times
- You are at work
- You murdered someone in this last hour, and therefore have to wait before attacking again

A possible outcome of an attack is death. If the health of your victim falls to 0, that means you killed them. Of course, this works both ways.

If the murdered player had an active auction running, the auction will be terminated and the money returned to the highest bidder.

If you die you will lose the following things:
- Bank and cash money (of which 50% goes to your husband/wife in case you were married, the remainder is for the murderer)
- Objects in your possession (casinos, hospitals etc.)

If you kill someone? You will receive your victim's entire fortune. In case your victim was married, you'll only receive 50% of his/her bank and cash money.

Tip: Store your money in the safe. Even in the event of your death, the money is always there. Credits and VIP-membership, won't be lost in case you get murdered, so they remain in your possession

While you are dead it's not possible to continue normal active play. You can only log off, buy credits, or revive yourself in the exchange office. You can also choose to restart your game for free by using a full reset, but in that case you will lose everything and have to start over from the begining. Once you've bought a revival you can resume playing.

To keep it fun for everyone, you can't just keep on murdering. After a murder, you must wait 60 minutes before you can attack again.

There can be many reasons to leave a country to explore another one. Your intended victim resides in another country or you want to take a new casino to the cleaners. Maybe you are only looking for cheaper ammunition? Some countries also possess special characteristics.

Poker is a game where you place bets depending on the cards in your hand. The game that is played here is Texas Hold 'em.

The blinds
Before the game begins there are some mandatory bets that must be placed: the blinds. With Texas Hold 'em, a button is used (the dealer button) to show which player is currently dealing the cards. Before the cards can be dealt, the players to the left of the dealer button have to place their small and big blind (2x the small blind). After that, each player is dealt 2 cards face down.

Betting options
The options a player has are: 'fold', 'check', 'bet', 'call' and 'raise'. Not all options are available in every round, it depends on the actions of players whose turn already passed. One option that is always available is 'fold', the player discards his/her hand and stops play until the round ends. If no player has betted yet, a player can 'check' (no bet but continue playing), or 'bet' themselves. If a player has placed a bet, the players after him/her can 'call', 'raise' or 'fold'. If a player calls, it means he/she plays on and matches the bet placed previously by another player. If you raise, it means you not only call the bet, but also raise it with a bet of your own.

Pre Flop
If all players have received their cards, they have the opportunity to 'call' or 'raise' the big blind. They can also choose to 'fold'. The player next to the big blind must act first. If he/she calls, he/she has to match the big blind. This pre flop process continues until all active (not folded) players have betted the same amount.

The Flop
The Flop means 3 cards are laid face up on the table. These cards can be used by all players that are still playing this round. The first one allowed to act is the player to the left of the dealer button. The options players have are the same as for the Pre Flop. However, if no one has placed a bet yet, you have the option to 'check'.

The Turn
When all active (not folded) players have betted the same amount in The Flop round, The Turn card is laid face up on the table. This is the 4th card available to all players still active. After The Turn card, another round of betting takes place in the same way as during The Flop round.

The River
When all active (not folded) players have betted the same amount in The Turn round, the fifth and final card is laid out on the table. In the same way as before: the player to the left of the dealer button starts the betting round.

Showdown
When all active (not folded) players have betted the same amount in The River round, all of the cards are revealed. Using a maximum of 5 cards, the player who makes the best hand, wins.

Poker combinations
In poker, the following combinations are possible, arranged from highest to lowest in value, but from lowest to highest in probability.

If more that one player is going for the Pot after the final betting round is finished, the hands are revealed (showdown). To win the Pot, the players must show their whole hand, even if part of the hand is sufficient to claim the win.

If 2 (or more) players have made the same combination, the player with the highest cards wins according to the following rules:

• If 2 (or more) players only have a High card (no combination), the highest card wins. If this High card is the same for both (or more) players, then the second highest card counts.
• If both (or more) players have One pair, the highest pair wins. If they are even, then the rest of the cards are judged according to the High card rules above .
• If both (or more) players have Two pair, the highest pair wins. If that's even, the highest second pair wins. If this is also even, then the highest fifth card wins.
• If both (or more) players have Three of a kind or Full House, the highest trio wins. If that's even, the highest pair (only for Full House), or the highest fourth/fifth card wins.
• If both (or more) players have a Flush or Straight, the highest card wins. If this card is even, the second card wins etc. Exception: The Ace in a 5 4 3 2 Ace Straight is counted as the lowest card, so loses against a 6 5 4 3 2 Straight.
• If both (or more) players have a Four of a kind, the highest quartet wins. If that is even, the fifth card wins.

In general, this rule stands: the best hand of 5 cards wins the Pot.
