(C) Copyright Club Software 1995
--------------------
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
--------------------
To run Club Slots you will need the following:
o IBM PC, XT, AT, PS/2 or 100% compatible computer. A
386dx or better CPU. 486DX/2 or better highly recommended.
o VGA Compatible card and monitor.
o 512k free conventional memory.
o 2.5 Megs Free Disk Space. (After Uncompressing).
o Mouse. NOTE! The mouse driver MUST be loaded from the config.sys as a
????.SYS driver. Some .COM drivers WILL work, but the majority will
cause a system lock. No harm will come from this, just the annoyance
of having to reboot.
o Soundblaster or Compatible Sound Card. If no card is installed you
can start the game with the following command.
CLBSLOTS /SOUNDOFF /WINLOSEOFF
This should allow you to run the game without the sound hardware.

REGISTRATION:
-------------
You may try this program for a trial period of up to 30 days before
registering. If after 30 days you must DESTROY this copy of Club Slots and
repent of your sins <grin>! But seriously folks!, by registering you will get
any and ALL future editions of the program and the satisfaction of knowing you
did your part to help keep the prices of software to a minimum. This will also
help me continue to write other programs (GAMES, UTILITIES, ETC...).
The price of CLUB SLOTS is just $15.00, so PLEASE consider the amount of
time that is involved in the production of software and the enjoyment you
receive from SHAREWARE programs.
Thank You!

OVERVIEW:
---------
Club Slots is a very easy game to play. It was designed after the
7-wilds, Cherries Wild, etc... that you may have seen in nightclubs, bars,
etc... Club Slots is played similar to a one-armed-bandit except you may have
eight directions in which to win. With each bet (pressing the bet button) you
turn on more rows/columns. After each row/column is turned on, you can change
the amount of winnings by x1, x2, or x3 (x1 being odds x 1)(x2 being odds x 2)
(x3 being odds x 3) up to 24 bets. * Registered Game ONLY!
Unregistered game, you can only increase the bet to 8.
---------------------
COMMAND LINE OPTIONS:
---------------------
You may use the following command line paramaters when loading
the game.
Put a space between each if using more than one.

SELECT PLAYER MENU OPTIONS:
---------------------------
When the game loads up and the opening screen is cleared, the Players
menu will be shown. The following is the procedures to take in choosing your
player name.
1:) Select one of the 21 available slots (2 in the unregistered
version) by clicking on the arrow to the left of the slot.
2:) Select CANCEL, USE, CHANGE, OR DELETE.
CANCEL:) Select to go back to name selection screen.
USE:) This will select the player and begin the game. If the
name in the slot is "- Empty -" you will be prompted to
enter the name to use for this slot. Game play will then
continue as usual.
CHANGE:) If you would like to change the player name for any reason
select this and you will be prompted for a new name.
Continue from there and select that slot or a new slot.
Note! This will change the name only. Not the scores for
the name.
DELETE:) If you find yourself needing to delete the player, choose
this and the slot will then become - Empty - allowing a
slot for a new player. This WILL delete the entire record
for the slot. Name, Losses, and Wins.
----------
GAME PLAY:
----------
After selecting the player, the first thing to do is to determine how
much money you would like to invest! Press Coins. From there you have 4 cash
amounts, $1.00, $5.00, $10.00, and $20.00. Each bet and each point is worth
5 cents.
After you have inserted your coins, proceed to placing your bet(s).
When the bets have been placed, you can now PLAY the round. (Press PLAY).
When the round has been completed and IF you have any wins, you have two
choices. You can TAKE the winnings or you may decide to try and DOUBLE up the
points for the round. If you decide to try and DOUBLE the points, press
the DOUBLE button and the double up screen will pop up. The double up game is
nothing more than picking either a HIGH number or a LOW number. 1-6 is LOW and
8-13 is high. 7 LOSES. If you Win, your turn points will double. You then
have the option of trying to double again or TAKE the points. This procedure
repeats until you TAKE the points or you LOSE the turn points. (Registered
game only!). In the unregistered version you can only try to double the turn
points once only. You either double the turn points or you lose the points.
For your next round, you can change your bet by pressing the BET button
or if you prefer to leave the bet(s) the same, you do nothing but press the
PLAY button and the game will recognize the previous bet as the bet for the
round. The game is over when you have used up all your total points. You may
then insert more Money or quit the game by clicking EXIT from then main menu
or by pressing the Left OR Right Ctrl key followed by the ESC key.
NOTE: You may increase your total points at any time during
game play by inserting more coins! NOTE2: If you choose Ctrl/ESC or EXIT, the
game will automatically cash in the amount of wins/losses you have at the
point of exit.
