Boxcars Casino For Windows 1.0a Mod List
The following modifications have been made since version 1.0. Many thanks
to all who e-mailed with problems or suggestions.
* On slower PCs, the craps puck would get drawn in the wrong place while
moving out to its point spot, particularly when moving out far (such as
to the 4 point). This is fixed now.
* When dialog boxes appeared, the color palette would get corrupted on some
graphics cards. This shouldn't be a problem any more.
* Some large payoffs were causing the error message "8, 2" or "8,7." This
error has been fixed.
* Many people complained that the game didn't handle large numbers of chips
well, especially in games with little room for chips (i.e., blackjack).
Four new high denominations of chip have been added to solve this
problem. The deposit and table limits have not been changed--otherwise
the problem would just return with higher chip denominations.
* Craps now supports "place" bets on point numbers. You can only place "to
win"--perhaps "to lose" and other types of place bet offered at some
casinos will be made available in a future version.
* If you quit the program with an active stake, the stake will still be
active when you launch the application later. Some people didn't like
having to go to the bank at the beginning of every session.
* The words "six" and "nine" are spelled out on the craps layout. More
like a real casino that way.
* The way the ball bounces around in roulette has been slightly improved.
The old way did some funky things every now and then that a ball
shouldn't be able to do.
* A 6-player poker game is now an option.
* Whooops. Five-card stud was totally wrong! The cards that should have
been up were down, and vice-versa. This has been corrected.
* In both five-card stud and seven-card stud, the leader of every betting
round is now the player with the highest hand showing, and leader of the
first betting round must bet. (As you can probably tell, I'm not a
regular poker player.)
* The playing speed is now remembered separately for each of the six games,
and stays when you quit the program.
* In blackjack, you can force the dealer to begin by clicking in the card
area on the right, if you don't want to sit through the usual 3-second
delay.
* In roulette and keno, you can skip rapidly through the lengthy animations
by clicking the mouse.
* You can now explode a condensed stack of chips into as many chips as will
fit in a stack, by shift-clicking it. (A condensed stack is one that
cannot be compressed any further.) Previously, the only way to get large
amounts of change was by breaking up one chip at a time.
* The manual files have been updated to incorporate all of these changes.
After releasing version 1.0, we received many e-mail messages like this:
"I would have registered, but I found a bug," or "I would have registered,
but there was a feature missing that I want." Please do not let little
things like this prevent you from registering. We really need the money,
and we pride ourselves on being very responsive to reasonable requests.
