- VIDEO POKER SLOT
-
- Video Poker Slot is widely played throughout the gambling
- casinos found in Nevada and New Jersey. Playing one of these
- slot machines is easy. You should have a knowledge of poker
- before playing.
-
- The object of the game is to get a poker hand of Jack's or
- better before you can win any money. You will be paid off
- depending on your hand. The better the hand, the more money
- you'll win.
-
- Just like the real Poker Slot machine, you must first insert
- some money. You'll be playing a dollar Poker Slot, so each coin
- will be worth one dollar. You may insert any amount from $1 to
- $5 into the Poker Slot machine. Once you've placed your coins
- into the machine, you will be ready to deal a hand.
-
-
- STARTING POKER SLOT
-
- From your DOS prompt, type PSLOT and press the ENTER key. In
- order for Poker Slot to run, you must be logged onto the
- directory where PSLOT.EXE resides. Poker Slot must be able to
- locate the files PSLIB01.INF, PSLIB02.INF, PSLIB03.INF,
- PSLIB04.INF, and PSLIB05.INF.
-
- The following are examples for starting Poker Slot:
-
- Typing from your Explanation
- DOS prompt
-
- PSLOT Use mouse
-
- PSLOT K Use keyboard
-
- You may either play Poker Slot with a mouse or your keyboard.
- When starting Poker Slot by typing PSLOT, you automatically
- default to mouse usage. If Poker Slot has trouble detecting
- your mouse or your mouse driver is not installed, you will be
- dropped into the keyboard mode.
-
- TANDY 1OOO
-
- NOTE: If your computer is a Tandy 1OOO, the file "T1KVGA.COM"
- may be required to be in memory before playing Video Poker Slot.
- If you cannot play this game, install the "T1KVGA.COM" file in
- memory first. From your DOS prompt, type T1KVGA and press the
- ENTER key. You may then play Video Poker Slot as described
- above.
-
- The first screen you see will be the boot screen. This will
- display the copyright notice and version number of Poker Slot.
- A message will be displayed on the bottom of the screen asking
- you to either press a mouse button or the ENTER key. When
-
-
- - 2 -
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- you've done this, Poker Slot will load in the required graphics
- screen it requires to continue to operate. This may take some
- time if you are playing this from a floppy disk.
-
- The next screen you see will be the Poker Slot layout. You will
- be playing Poker Slot from this screen.
-
-
- PLAYING POKER SLOT
-
- The Poker Slot layout will resemble a Video Poker Slot machine.
- Before playing, you must insert from $1 to $5 into the machine.
- Once this is done, you must deal the cards by pressing the Deal
- button. If you are using a mouse, you can either press the Deal
- button or press the right mouse button to deal the cards. Once
- the hand has been dealt, you select which of the five cards
- you wish to hold. Press the Deal button again and the
- cards not being held are discarded. They are then replaced
- with new cards from the deck.
-
- NOTE: Always be sure to press the Hold button on the cards you
- wish to hold before pressing the Deal button again. If this is
- not done, you could lose on a good hand that was dealt pat.
-
- On the Poker Slot layout, you will see 14 yellow buttons. The
- game is played by selecting one of these buttons.
-
-
- USING A MOUSE
-
- When using a mouse to play Poker Slot, move the mouse cursor to
- the yellow button of your choice, and press either mouse button.
- While in the mouse mode, you will not be able to use the
- keyboard.
-
- When using a mouse, most of your selections will be made by
- pressing the left mouse button. Once coins have been inserted
- into the Poker Slot machine, you may play the same amount of
- coins by pressing the left mouse button with the cursor in the
- card area or by selecting the coin buttons shown on your screen.
-
-
- USING THE KEYBOARD
-
- To press one of the buttons when using the keyboard, you will be
- pressing on the key that represents the button you select. If a
- button does not display a number or function key, you must
- select that button by pressing the first letter that describes
- the button you wish to push.
-

- Selecting a Hold button will mark the card as being held. If
- you change your mind, select the same button and the marker will
- be turned off. If you are dealt a pat hand, you must press each
- Hold button before dealing the next round of cards or press the
- Pat Hand button that will appear between the Deal and Quit
- buttons. Selecting a card will function as a Hold button.

-
- Pat Button
- (P)
-
- This button will only appear if you are dealt a pat hand.

- will reset to the minimum payoff.
-
-
- CREDITS
-
- Each time you place a coin into the machine, your credits will
- decrease by one. When you win with one of the 9 possible types

-
- Second Chance Poker
- (3)
-
- Selecting this option will allow you to change from the standard
- Jack's or Better Poker to Second Chance Poker. This is played
- the same as Jack's or Better. The difference is, you get a
- second chance to improve your hand as long as you are drawing

- cards for a straight and missed but now have a one card draw to
- the same straight. You will be asked if you want a second
- chance. If you do, you may press the Deal button or press the
- Quit button if you do not wish to have a second chance. NOTE:

- rate is different than the other forms of Video Poker. While
- playing Deuces and Joker Wild, you will have three Jackpots
- available rather than the Progressive pot.
-
-
- Double Down Poker
- (7)
-
- Selecting this option will change the game to Double Down Poker.
- This is played identical to the standard Jack's or Better game.
- Whenever you have a winning hand, you will be given the
- opportuninty to double your winnings.
-
- After the draw and assuming you are to paid on a winning hand,
- you will be asked if you wish to Double Down. A "NO" response
- will credit you with whatever amount you have coming for the
- previously played hand. A "YES" response will reshuffle the
- cards and deal out 5 cards face down. The first card will be
- turned face up. This card is the computers card. You must now
- select one of the four remaining cards and beat the computers
- card in order for you to win. A card less than the
- computers card counts as a loss and nothing is added to your
- credits. If you beat the computers card, you double your
- payoff. If a tie occurs, the process is repeated until a win or
- loss occurs.
-
- After winning a Double Down, you again will be asked if you wish
- to Double Down. Play continues in this manner until you no
- longer wish to double down, or your winning Double Down payoff
- reaches the maximum of $1O,OOO.
-
- If you do not have a winning hand or your winning hand is a
- Royal Flush, the Double Down feature is ignored and play
- continues.
-
- NOTE: To play the Straight Video Poker game, be sure selections
- 3 through 7 or all Off.
-
