New Super Mario Bros (Minigames)

[Rpgaddict]

I have a question for anyone who has it and plays the minigames.  I'm playing the Luigi poker game and I was just wondering what the deal is with the stars on the side.  What do they do? are supposed to mean?  Does anyone know.

it just keeps tracks of your winning streak.  if you win, you get a star.  if you lose, you get deducted a star.

I think blue slime pretty much got it...it's just there to keep track of how many games you've won or lost.
