- SHAREWARE VS REGISTERED VERSION
-
- Poker Slot is written in two versions, a ShareWare version and
- a Registered version. The ShareWare version is not crippled
- in anyway. This is a fully functional program of Poker Slot.
- Users of the ShareWare version will have a message appear at
- the end of the game. The message will state that the program
- is NOT free and continued use of the program requires
- registration with United Innovations Plus.
-
- The Registered version of Poker Slot has added features for
- users that register their copy by filling out the Registration
- Form and sending in the required registration fee.
-
- The following documentation for Poker Slot explains all the
- features for the Registered version. The words "Registered
- Version Only" may appear throughout the documentation. These
- are the added features in the Registered version.
-
-
- 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 PSlot to run, you must be logged onto the directory
- where PSLOT.EXE, PSLIB01.INF, PSLIB02.INF, PSLIB03.INF and
- PSLIB04.INF reside.
-
- 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. To start Poker Slot in the
- keyboard mode with your mouse driver installed, type PSLOT K and
- press the ENTER key.
-

- display the copyright notice and version number of PSlot. A
- message will be displayed on the bottom of the screen asking you
- to either press a mouse button or the ENTER key.
-
- 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. 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 either 10 or 12 yellow
- buttons. The game is played by selecting one of the buttons.
-
-
- 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.
-
-
- 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.
-
-
- BUTTON DESCRIPTIONS
-
- The following will explain the buttons and their function:
-
- Hold Buttons
- (Numbers 1 through 5)
-
- The Hold buttons will only work once you deal the cards.
- 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.
