Based on that, I think they might have played Mahjong in the original Japanese version and localized it. But I don't know for sure. So, my question is, was it poker originally?

Why would they play Mahjong and not poker? Poker is played everywhere around the world, isn't it? Anyway, I remember when the game was only out in Japan and the first screenshots came in - they played poker, too.

It is in Japan. Well, anyway, if they played poker, that's odd. What do you mean by a fast hand in poker?

In Poker, often when there's more than 3 people at a table, most of those people are going to fold as soon as their hand is dealt. It's not like the movies.
I'm gone for so long, and the colors got all psychedelic! Woohoo!

But she says "You can win with a fast hand." I don't read anything about bluffing. And if his hand is really that great, he might decide to take the risk anyway. The point is that it doesn't make any sense. Normally the advice would be just to fold, or to bluff if he wasn't confident. But she doesn't say anything about bluffing. Maybe
just doesn't know the rules?

Yeah, Mahjong is played with tiles. But it's the most likely gambling game where a fast hand can beat a strong hand.
There's a pro league in Japan, and it's played in parlors and everything... it's really very popular over there. They have a different rule system from the Chinese.
Well, if you don't think they would change the sprites, then I guess it's just something that's kinda weird.

Talking about the "fast hand", I believe it has something to do with the playing rule.
Full house...let's see...
For example:
First both of two sides take five random cards.
Phoenix: X, X, X, X, X
You:spade 5, spade 3, heart J, diamond 6,diamond5
Each of you have three chances to switch a card.
Show down time.
There are some certain pattern gain credit for you, like all cards in hearts or something. It seems to be full house in the case.
I've never played this poker game anyway...I learned it from a Japanese GS site.
(BTW...playing mahjong is not necessary to be gambling as far as money dealing is not involved. )

...No. As I can recall, they only changed a few things like names and Maya's noddle addict.

It's a running joke. Phoenix's grape juice addiction was grape juice in the Japanese version as well so it wasn't changed in the localization, but it's amusing to have them look like what would be recognized as wine bottles. Alcoholism isn't funny, but a grape juice addiction (particularly in wine shaped bottles) is rather amusing.

He performed magic by a test for employment of Capcom.
Perhaps, he likes playing poker.
(I learnt playing poker in Dragon Quest 4. I don't know the rule of the mahjong.)

Anyway, if it was poker in the Japanese version, that clears up my question. Thanks.

Not surprising. Go to the center of GoDaddy's farm in Scottsdale and you'll find a soda shop. They have everything.
Look for stuff like Martinelli's and my favorite:
WARNING: Almost a spoiler...
Sonoma Sparkler.
Juice-Soda(yes that's right) contained in wine flutes. They are without a doubt THE best thing ever!
Just remember you're 110% screwed when you drink massive amounts of it. Whether you eat anything or not.

You don't know Sonoma and you don't understand weird looks if you're ever spotted with this stuff.

That....That's stupid.
It took me a whole minute to figure out the 花札 is just a common term for playing cards. I knew I've seen those characters before but...It eluded me.

Hey guys, i can say mahjong is hardly possible for the original setting. That is, to play mahjong you need FOUR players, but for a crime scene you'd want as few as ppl as possible (except the victim and the killer). So,
