About SLOTKER, from BoardGameGeek:
SLOTKER playing cards are based on a standard 52-card deck of poker playing cards, with each card displaying one of six classic and familiar slot machine symbols (Lemons, Cherries, Oranges, Plums, Bells and Bars), with each card simulating one reel of a 3-reel slot machine.
The goal of most SLOTKER card games is to make the best or highest-ranking 3-of-a-kind hand, with either poker card values (above the card suits) or slot machine symbols (below the card suits), and the games are designed to simulate the action of a 3-reel slot machine, often with progressively-increasing payouts (antes required by players) when a single round of hands results with no winner.
Slot machine symbol rankings are based on the quantities of each slot machine symbol distributed throughout the deck and make a smooth and logical transition into poker card value rankings.
3-of-a-kind poker cards outrank all 3-of-a-kind slot machine symbols, and when two or more players hold the same three matching slot machine symbols, the winner is determined by the highest-ranking 3-card poker hand, using standard poker rankings, from highest to lowest: Flush, Straight, One-pair and High-card hands.
