The game starts with a player choosing a type of poker, and the stakes for which they want to play. The player is greeted with seven opponents, all of which have a different persona. There's a cowboy guy, a bartender guy, a James Dean guy, and it goes on. There are a number of different characters, and they are randomly picked for each different table. The enjoyment comes during the actual game though. In addition to the poker, the opponents all say different things, depending on the situation. It goes from the bartender insulting you and saying that he's never had a better hand before to the cowboy saying that he's never had a worse hand. It's rather humorous, and adds to the enjoyability of the game.
