GAME PLAY

GAME OPTIONS

SOME IMPORTANT STUFF FIRST...

Due to the nature of the animation in the game, a powerful PC is recommended for full enjoyment of the game.

If your video card does not support image stretching, you will be notified, and the game will not be playable.  We apologize, but there are too many video card manufacturers who claim their cards are Windows compatible, but aren't.

A Small Font video driver must be used in order for the game to start.  Consult your video card documentation for information on Small Font drivers.  A 256 color or higher video driver is also a requirement (if everything looks grey, then a 16 color driver is probably loaded).

Game Play

Interface

Diversions Slots incorporates an easy, simple to use interface.

If you click on something, it will probably do something.

First things first...  To move the game window, click and drag on the small Diversions Software logo at the top of the slot machine.  There is no Title Bar.

Game Play

When you first start Diversions Slots, you will have 100 Coins, and zero Credits.

To place a coin in the machine, just click on the Coin Slot  (Right Click to 'Speed Load' the coin slot... eliminating repetitive clicks).

Pull the handle, or click 'Spin', and you're gambling !

You can use Coins, or Credits, or a combination of both to feed the machine.  Bet Max will bet the maximum from Credits.  To bet the maximum with Coins, click the Coin Slot 3 times.

Payoffs are described at the top of the machine.  Each payline pays a multiple of the Coins/Credits played.

The Bank

You can get Coins from the Bank on the right side of the screen.

Left Click to increment by values of 100, 1,000 or 10,000.
Right Click to select 100, 1,000 or 10,000 Coins.

When you quit Diversions Slots, your Coins are kept in a safe place, they will be there when you want to play again.

Before quitting, be sure to 'Cash Out', otherwise, the credits will be lost in the machine.

The Shareware Story...

Shareware is software distributed by authors like myself, to fun, game hungry consumers like yourself.  I do so because I enjoy sharing my creations with others.  Sales of fun, destructive, yet, enjoyable software like Diversions Slots are my source of income.  If you enjoy playing it, go ahead and pay for it.  That way, I can continue to drink caffeine loaded soda, and crank out more titles for the coming years (don't worry, there's some neat stuff headed your way...).   If you don't pay for it, I'm not liable for any Prairie Dogs (shameless plug for our other hit title, Prairie Dog Hunt PRO) that invade your neighborhood....  The law also states that if you want to use it for more than 30 days, you have to pay for it...  That's the government for you, but it does allow me to pay my bills...

Benefits of Registering Diversions Slots

•	You can play all 3 paylines, instead of one.

•	You can access the Bank for more than 100 coins.

Diversions Slots can be registered ONLINE with CompuServe. Just GO SWREG and search for keyword 'Diversions'.  The registration fee will be added to your monthly CompuServe bill.  It's that easy.
