Comment by GACKT
「I wonder if this will become the world’s first poker program that everyone, from beginners to professionals, can enjoy. As of now, whenever it comes to poker programs, its always for a group of people who are already familiar with it. In that case, won’t a program that goes this far in helping beginners enjoy it, remember the rules, and grow together with them be the first ever. It’ll make me happy if the number of Japanese poker players will increase and everyone can enjoy poker through this.」
