It's a great day at the Mushroom Kingdom Casino where I was about to play one of my favorite games in the casino, Picture Poker. I saw a table that has stars and in the table is Luigi as the dealer of the game. I smiled to him and said, 'Hey Luigi! I'm ready for a game of Picture Poker.'

'That's great, Dragon!' Luigi smiled, 'You are so happy that you came to play my card game. Now, do you know how to play the game?'

'Of course not.' I said, 'Tell me how to play!'

'OK. First, I'll shuffle the deck of cards. Then I'll deal out five cards for the both of us. The object of the game is to get a better hand than me. We're going to play three rounds and whoever gets to win two hands first is declared the winner. So, are you ready for round one?'

'Of course!' I replied as I get myself seated for the game, 'Let's shuffle up and deal!'

'Alright then, here we go!' Luigi said as he shuffled the deck. Then he gave me five cards for my hand and five for Luigi. Luigi said, 'OK, my hand is hidden so you don't know what do I have. Go ahead Dragon, reveal your hand.'

'With pleasure!' I said as I revealed two stars, two Luigis, and a mushroom. I said, 'Luigi, one card please. Get rid of the mushroom!'

'OK, one new card for Dragon Puncher, coming up!' Luigi said as he gave me a new card. Then Luigi gets three for himself because he had two clouds. Then Luigi said, 'OK, our hands are ready to reveal so, let's find out who has a better hand. Ready?' Luigi asked.

'All set!' I replied.

'One, two, and… three!' Luigi counted as we revealed our hands. I had a full house of Luigis and stars while Luigi has two pairs. Luigi said, 'You win round one! Great job! I had two clouds, two Marios, and a flower, while you had three stars and two Luigis so, full house beats two pair. Good job. Now, are you ready for round two?'

'Yeah!' I replied.

Round two was a fast round as Luigi won with a five of a kind against my three of the kind. Now it all comes down to the final round. Luigi said, 'OK, this round will decide our champion. Here comes your five cards!'

Then Luigi gave me four stars and a mushroom while his hand is hidden. Luigi said, 'Change your card?'

'Only one and that's it!' I said with a big smile.

'OK, now don't look at the card.' Luigi said as I get a new card. Then Luigi gets one as well.

When everything is changed, Luigi said, 'Alright Dragon, this is it. When I say go, we'll reveal the cards and find out who won the game. Are you ready?'

'I'm all set. Luigi, reveal the cards!' I said as get ready.

'OK! One, two, three…'

It all comes down to the final reveal of the cards. I held in my breath, took a chance and then, Luigi said the word that will decide the game…

'GO!'

And then…

And then…

The decision is final.

Luigi revealed his hand and said, 'I have four of a kind with Mario and a flower. Dragon, reveal you hand!'

'OK, my hand for this final round is…' I said as I flipped my hand over.

And then, my hand was revealed. I took a big deep breath and said the final decision…

'FIVE STARS!'

'Wow, you won the game!' Luigi said as he hugged me for winning the game. Then he said, 'Five of a kind beats four of a kind! That's the game-winning hand, Dragon. Great job! Say, do you want to play again with five rounds?'
