How do I play Dice Poker?

Question

I found two minigames in the first area of The-Witcher-2, an Arm-Wrestler, and someone who wants to play "Dice Poker". While the former is simply explained in the in-game help, there was no information on how to play Dice Poker.

What do the symbols on the dice mean?

What do the (unlabeled!) circles under the bet screen do? (I believe the left is forfeit, and the right is call, but I'm not positive)

Answer

Here's the a very good explanation for Dice Poker including statistics. It's for the first Witcher game, but it's mostly the same, except for those symbols. One circle is 1, two circles is a 2, and for the rest count the points, so the triangle is 3, etc.

The unlabeled circles are a glitch. Restarting your game should fix it, but in most menus in Witcher 2, space is accept and Esc is reject.

So, I've just picked up D2 again to play with a friend, and we both have been giving that jovial fellow Gheed the majority (read: all) of our money for the chance of decent items.

What is the chance of getting rare/set/unique items from the various gambling merchants throughout the acts?

Answer

From the all-knowing Arreat Summit

The items you receive will be from most common, to most rare: Magic Items, Rare, Sets, Uniques. Set and Unique Items are extremely rare. The chance for Uniques is 1 in 2,000 (0.05%) and 1 in 1,000 (0.10%) for Sets. The chance for Rares is 1 in 10 (10%). Magic Items are 1/~1.1 (89.85%).
