J&J's VEGAS PACK
┌────────────────┐
│ 5 - CARD DRAW │
└────────────────┘
(C)1991 J&J GAMEWARE
5 CARD DRAW is a home computer version of the casino favorite, 5
Card Draw poker. It can be played using your mouse, or if you prefer,
just the keyboard. This game is intended for home entertainment only
and is not to be used as a gambling device.
┌───────┐
│ RULES │
└───────┘
The game is played with a 52 card deck that is re-shuffled
before each hand.
You must have at least a pair of Jacks or better to win.
The amount that you win will be determined according to the pay-
chart that is displayed at the top of the screen. Naturally, the
better your hand is, and the more you bet, the more you will win.
You may draw from 0 to 5 cards each hand.
You may bet from $1 to $5 on each hand.
You start the game with $100, and there is no limit to how much
you win or lose. You can stop the game at any time.
┌────────────────────┐
│ THE PLAYING SCREEN │
└────────────────────┘
The box at the top of the screen is the pay-chart. Just below
that are two boxes labeled "COINS IN:", which indicates the amount
you have wagered on the current hand, and "CREDIT:", the dollar
amount of the credits you have accumulated.
Your cards are in the middle of the screen, and just below them,
toward the right of the screen, are three "control buttons" labeled
"Deal/Draw", "Play" and "Quit". At the very bottom of the screen is
a "message" area where simple playing instructions are displayed in
case you find yourself wondering, "Ok, Now what?"
┌──────────────────┐
│ PLAYING THE GAME │
└──────────────────┘
BETTING: At the begining of each hand a set of five numbered boxes
will pop up on top of the "control button area" with the
message "CHOOSE BET AMOUNT". Use your mouse to position the
arrow cursor over one of the five numbered boxes and press
any button on your mouse to register your bet.
THE DEAL: After you have placed a bet, your first five cards are
dealt.
DEAL/DRAW: After your first five cards are displayed, the arrow
cursor will move to the card area.
Use your mouse to position the cursor over any card you would
like to keep and then press any mouse button. That card will
be marked "HOLD". If you change your mind about holding a
card, repeat the steps just mentioned and the hold will be
removed.
When you have marked all the cards you want to keep, move the
arrow cursor to the "DEAL/DRAW" button and press any mouse
button. The cards that were not marked HOLD are discarded
and replaced with new cards.
RESULTS: If you have a winning hand the program will declare your
highest possible hand and the amount you have won is added to
your CREDIT amount.
PLAY / QUIT: Depending on if you want to play another game or not,
move the arrow cursor to the appropriate box, "PLAY" or
"QUIT", and press any mouse button.
KEYBOARD PLAY: If you do not wish to use your mouse, you can play the
game by using the arrow keys on your keyboard to move the arrow
cursor on the screen, and by pressing the ENTER key whenever
pressing a mouse button would be required. However, you must still
have your mouse and mouse driver installed.
Be sure to check out the files READ.ME and REGISTER.FRM for more
information about the game and help with ordering and also
check out the file READ.ME2 to see how you can actually win a
jackpot while playing any of J & J's VEGAS PACK games.
