NOW ABOUT AWESOME JACKPOT
AWESOME JACKPOT is a simulation of the well known slot-machi-
nes on which you can risk your money. I for instance have a
positive balance from playing these machines (probably not for
long). This version differs from the real world because it is
more extensive, there are specials included which are fun to
play too.
WHAT DO I NEED FOR AWESOME JACKPOT ?
Of Course a PC with as much free memory as possible
AWESOME JACKPOT uses a sprite/sample memory managing
system which checks the memory every time the program
calls for a sprite or a sample. If the sprite or
sample is not in the memory it will be loaded, therefore
it is advisable to free as much memory as possible
before executing AWESOME JACKPOT. This will result in
only one diskread per sprite or sample. If the memory
becomes full the program will deallocate least used sprites
and samples from memory, so if you have little free memory
the program will become much slower because it has to load
and deallocate sprites and samples very often.

SETTING UP ASWESOME JACKPOT
The first time you start up AWESOME JACKPOT make sure that
there is no AWESOME.CFG file in the directory. If there is
delete it.
If you run AWESOME JACKPOT it will create an order program
with the name of ORDER.EXE with which you can create your own
order form. After that you will eventually end up in the setup
menu.
PLAYING AWESOME JACKPOT
Playing AWESOME JACKPOT is fairly easy:
In the main screen:
- Cursor left or right moves from one button to the other.
- [SPACE] or [RETURN] will execute the function which is
displayed on the buttons.
- [1],[2],[3] Quick Hold on/off
- Cursor up or down:
* Turn off holds
* Turn on holds (which are suggested by auto-hold)
* Skip through all possible hold combinations
- F1 Set different money display mode
- F4 Set different screen mode (square pixels)
- ESC Leave game
