ULTRA SLOT
Ultra Slot is a slot machine gambling game allowing the user to
select from a large variety of slot machines. You can play on a
3, 4 or 5 reel slot, and select from 1 to 5 pay lines. The best
part of Ultra Slot is the ability to construct your own slot
machine with your favorite symbols and payoffs. You can add or
remove any symbol from any of the slot machines or even change
the payoffs. You can do almost anything with Ultra Slot except
cash in your winnings.
STARTING ULTRA SLOT
From your DOS prompt, type USLOT and press the ENTER key. In
order for Ultra Slot to run, you must be logged onto the
directory where USLOT.EXE, USLOT1.INF, USLOT2.INF and USLOT3.INF
reside. Ultra Slot must also be able to locate at least one of
the USLOTDAT data files. If your data files are on a different
disk drive from your DOS prompt, type USLOT A or USLOT B and
press the ENTER key. This will instruct Ultra Slot to search
for your USLOTDAT data files on either drive A or B.
TANDY 1OOO
NOTE: If your computer is a Tandy 1OOO, the file "T1KVGA.COM"
may be required to be in memory before playing Ultra Slot. If
you cannot play this game, install the "T1KVGA.COM" file in
memory first. From your DOS prompt, type T1KVGA and press the
ENTER key. You may then run Ultra Slot as described above.
After you enter USLOT and press the ENTER key, a screen will
appear displaying the copyright notice. While this screen is
being displayed, Ultra Slot will load in the required files it
needs to continue running. You will then hear a beep and a
message will appear asking you to press either mouse button.
Pressing either the left or right mouse button will continue
with the program.
PLAYING ULTRA SLOT
Your screen will now display a three reel slot machine with one
payoff line if this is your first game. This screen will vary
depending on which of the slot machines was played last.
The lower portion of your screen will display the options you
have available. The following options will be displayed:
Ins.Coin Setup Load File
Spin Quit
Max.Coins Scores View Payoff
- 2 -
To select one of these options, move your mouse cursor over the
option of your choice and press either the left or right button.
The following will explain the functions of each of the options:
Ins.Coin (Insert Coin)
When you select Insert Coin, one coin will be inserted into the
coin slot. If you have more than one pay line on the slot
machine, you may continue inserting coins until you have reached
the maximum allowable coins. The maximum allowable coins are
determined by the amount of pay lines on the slot machine.
Max.Coins (Maximum Coins)
When you select Maximum Coins, the maximum allowable coins will
be inserted into the coin slot.
Spin (Pull Handle)
When you select Spin, the reels of the slot machine will start
turning. You may either select the Spin option or pull the slot
machine handle or arm. To pull the handle, you must move your
mouse cursor to the blank knob of the handle and press a mouse
button. Pulling the handle will animate the movement of the
handle; selecting the Spin option will not.
NOTE: You cannot spin or pull the handle unless you have
inserted at least one coin in the coin slot.
Setup
When you select Setup, you will be able to change some of the
default settings in Ultra Slot (see Setup Options).
Scores
When you select Scores, you will be able to view the total
profit or loss and largest payoff made (see Score Options).
Load File
When you select Load File, a new screen will appear. This area
of Ultra Slot will allow you Load a slot data file (see Load
Slot Files).
View Payoff
When you select View Payoff, you will be able to view the
various payoffs for the current slot machine being played (see
View Payoff Options).
Quit
When you select Quit, you will be asked to verify whether you
- 3 -
really want to quit playing Ultra Slot. A small window will
appear at the top of your screen asking you to press the right
mouse button to quit or the left mouse button to return to Ultra
Slot.
SETUP OPTIONS
When the Setup Option is selected, a small window will appear
displaying the following:
Speed Slow
Accept
Speed is the only option available on the ShareWare version of
Ultra Slot. If you wish to change the Speed setting, move
the cursor over Speed and press either button.
Speed
Selecting Speed will toggle between slow, medium, and fast.
The speed setting determines how fast the reels spin. Slow is
the smoothest and most realistic and should be used on faster
computers.
Accept
Selecting Accept will accept the current Setup configuration and
remove the Setup Options from your screen. Any changes to the
options in the Setup will now become the default settings.
SCORE OPTIONS
When the Score Option is selected, a small window will appear
displaying the following:
Total Profit/Loss
Largest Payoff
Clear Exit
The Total Profit/Loss will display your standings for all the
games of Ultra Slot you have played. This information is saved
on the Registered version every time you quit Ultra Slot.
This will show you the largest payoff made from all the games
played. The Largest Payoff is also saved on the Registered
version every time you quit Ultra Slot.
The Score screen will have two options to select from, Clear or
Exit.
- 4 -
Clear
When you select Clear, you will clear out the Total Profit/Loss
and Largest Payoff. This will allow you to start over again.
If you selected Clear by mistake, select it again, and it will
restore the previous amounts.
Exit
Selecting Exit will accept the amounts as shown and remove the
Score window from your screen.
LOAD SLOT FILES
Selecting the Load option from the Reel Setup screen will
bring up the Load Slot Data File screen. You will see the
default slot files on the left side of the screen. These are the
various slot machine data files that come with Ultra Slot. Any
of these may be retrieved, played, edited, and then resaved on
the Registered version only.
The right side of the screen is for User Defined Slot Files
available to Registered users.
Move your mouse in the Default Slot File or User Defined Slot
File area over the name of the file you intend to retrieve (see
Slot Reel Information). Press either mouse button and the file
will be placed in memory. The file name will be placed in the
box labeled, "Current Data File". Every time you come to this
screen, the current data file will be listed there. You may
leave by moving your mouse cursor to the area marked "Return to
Reel Setup", and press either button.
VIEW PAYOFF OPTIONS
When selecting View Payoff from your main playing screen, you
will be able to view all the payoffs the current slot machine
pays on. If you see a symbol of a dash or hyphen, it represents
any symbol. Any symbol means it doesn't matter what comes up in
the reel position.
The left side of your screen will display five payoff schedules
at a time. The right side of the screen will display the payoff
for each of the five symbol combinations shown on the left side.
The bottom line of the screen will display the following
options:
More Toggle Payoff/Odds Exit
Move your mouse cursor to one of the three options and press
either button.
- 5 -
More
Selecting this option will move to the next five slot payoff
symbols. Keep selecting the More option to view more payoffs.
When you reach the end of the payoff symbols, you will start
over again. The payoff schedule always starts at the highest
set of payoff symbols.
Toggle Payoff/Odds
Selecting this option will toggle between the payoff amount and
the odds of hitting the symbol combination. Each time this is
selected, your payoff schedule will always start at the highest
set of payoff symbol amounts.
Exit
Select the Exit option will return you to the main playing
screen.
SLOT FILE INFORMATION
The following information will help in selecting a slot machine
data file when using the Load option from the Reel Setup screen.
All the default data files have a number at the beginning and
ending of the file.
Example 1: 3FRUIT4
The first number of each file name represents the maximum
allowable coins that can be played on that machine. The last
number represents the amount of reels. The word or letters in
between indicate the type of machine. The example above
indicates a 3 pay line fruit machine with 4 reels.
Example 2: 5BAR3
This is a 5 pay line, all bar machine with 3 reels.
Example 3: 1SEVEN4
This is a single pay line, all sevens machine with 4 reels.
