you call then both players have the chance to drop whatever cards they
don't want and select new ones. To do this, simply click on the card
you don't want and it will turn over. Once you have selected the cards
to drop, select ready and the dealer will give you new cards. He will
then decide if he wants any new cards.
After this, you will be given the choice of betting, staying or
dropping and another round will take place. This time though, when
someone calls both hands are shown and the winner is decided.
Winning hands in order of best to worst.

If the two hands are the same then the hand with the highest value
wins. If you have three jacks and the dealer has three nines then you
win as jacks are higher than nines.
3D. BLACKJACK
This game is also known as Pontoon or 21.
Again, you are playing against the dealer. your initial choice is to
start or raise the stakes. Once you are happy with the stake the
dealer will deal two cards for each player, although you will only see
one of his cards.
The object of this game is to have a higher hand than the dealer
though your hand must not go over twenty-one. If it does, you are bust
and the dealer wins.
Jacks, Queens and Kings count as ten points and the Ace counts as one
or eleven. You can choose when you receive one.
Once you have received your cards you can choose from the following:
BUY
STICK
TWIST
BUY.
Gives you the chance to raise the stakes and receive another card.
STICK.
Stay with the cards you have and let the dealer try and beat your
score.
TWIST.
Gives you another card.
This process repeats until you stick or bust, then it's the dealers
turn.
If the dealers score is less than yours he will take more cards until
he is either bust or beats your score.
At the end of the game the person nearest to twenty-one without going
bust wins the pot. If you both have the same, then the dealer wins.
3E. FRUIT MACHINE
This is one of the best known gambling games in the world. As you
probably know, the game is quite simple. You spin the reels and hope
for a win. Each spin costs 1000 pounds.
Your cash box is in the top right hand corner of the screen and should
you wish to quit this game and return to the main menu then just click
the mouse on this box.
To spin the reels, click on start. The reels will then spin for a few
seconds. The following table shows the cash you can win.
SMILEY * 1 = 2000 SMILEY * 2 = 3000 LEMON * 3 = 5000
SMILEY * 3 = 5000 SMILEY * 4 = 8000 LEMON * 4 = 8000
PLUM * 3 = 6000 CHERRY * 3 = 10000 TOMATO * 3 = 10000
PLUM * 4 = 10000 CHERRY * 4 = 15000 TOMATO * 4 = 15000
APPLE * 3 = 10000 PEAR * 3 = 15000 STRAWBERRY * 3 = 15000
APPLE * 4 = 15000 PEAR * 4 = 20000 STRAWBERRY * 4 = 20000
STAR * 3 = 20000 BAR * 3 = 40000 JACKPOT * 3 = 50000
STAR * 4 = 30000 BAR * 4 = 50000 JACKPOT * 4 = 100000
To hold a reel, click the mouse on hold if the hold buttons are
flashing. If you hold or you have just won then you will not be able
to hold on the next spin. If you change your mind after holding just
click the right mouse button on the hold you wish to change.
If you win, you have the choice of either collecting your winnings or
gambling.
If you collect you will then go back to spinning the reels.
If you decide to gamble you will have a choice of three fruits, the
star or the bar which will be flashing on the screen. Just click on
your choice and the next stage will begin.
To the right of the screen is a spinning pointer. As you will see
there are more cherries than apples, more apples than strawberries,
more strawberries than stars, and more stars than bars.
If you choose:
A cherry and win, your winnings will double.
An apple and win, your winnings will treble.
A strawberry and win, your winning will be multiplied by four.
A star and win, your winning will be multiplied by five.
A bar and win, your winnings will be multiplied by six.
If you lose then you will go back to spinning the reels.
If you get lucky and win then you will have the choice of collecting
or gambling again.
To the bottom left of the screen is the fruit game.
To play this game you must get all the fruit in the following order:
CHERRY, STRAWBERRY, PLUM, TOMATO, APPLE, PEAR.
Whenever you get the next one, it will be highlighted. But if you win
anything you will lose all the fruit and start again.
Once you have all the fruit, the fruit game begins. You will have
noticed that each time you spin the reels, a dice is rolled. Now you
must guess if the next roll will be higher, lower or the same. If your
not sure you can always take the cash.
You have two chances at guessing in this game. If you are wrong twice,
you lose. Each time you are right an arrow will move along, pointing
to the cash you can take if you think it's too risky.
