Jennifer's Sexy Video Poker Release Notes v2.30a (March 10, 1998) *** ABOUT THIS PROGRAM! *** Jennifer's Sexy Video Poker is simply the best video poker game you will find for Windows! It plays 24 (count 'em, 24) different games including EXCLUSIVE games like Hot Hands Multi-Payout Poker and EVERY game you'll find in the casinos! And, it has extras like full statistics for every payout and every hand, Reversible Royals, Progressive Jackpot with programmable percentage, customizable payout charts for all games, Double Up!, Jennifer's Juicy Jackpots, and much more! Once you've played with Jennifer... you'll never want to play with anybody else!! Oh, and by the way... this game is "G" rated. *** VBRUN300.DLL REQUIRED *** This program requires VBRUN300.DLL (Visual Basic 3 Runtime Library). This file should be located in your WINDOWS/SYSTEM directory. This file is not included in the compressed shareware file distributed on on-line services, because it increases the size of the file, and most users already have it on their system anyway. If you don't have it (which will be obvious because the game won't run!), you can download it from any on-line service. If you REALLY can't find it, write to the support/orders address later in this file, and I will send you a copy. *** HOW TO INSTALL *** Make a new directory on your hard drive, and copy JPOKER.EXE into it. Run JPOKER (from DOS or Windows) to extract the files. Leave all the files in the same directory. Run POKER.EXE from Windows to use the program! *** CHANGES FROM VERSION TO VERSION *** *** 2.30 *** 2.30 adds a 24th game: Deuces Wild Bonus Poker. *** 2.20 *** 2.20 adds a 23rd game: Double Down Draw! Look up help for "Playing Double Down Draw" for more information. There is a new command on the Setup submenu of the File menu. "Automatically Hold Wildcards" does just what it says. Click the option to turn it on and off. The default is "on" but "off" is the way it works on the casino games. The "Statistics" dialog has been changed to display the stats for 20 of the different poker games worth at a time, and scrolls to show the remaining games. There were just too darn many games to fit them all on the screen at once! Jennifer's Juicy Jackpots has been modified so that the order and amount of the payouts better reflect the statistal odds of the various winning hands showing up. *** 2.11 *** 2.11 adds a new "coin bucket" display. Look up help for "coin bucket" for more information. 2.11 is also a maintenance upgrade to 2.10. *** 2.10 *** 2.10 adds two big new features: a 22nd game (Hot Hands Multi- Payout Poker), and multiple player statistics and winnings totals. Look up help for "New Features" for more information. ** 2.00 ** 2.00b is a maintenance upgrade from 2.00a. Version 2.00 adds a major new feature: Jennifer's Juicy Jackpots! Make a side bet of one coin on any non-wildcard draw poker game, and win extra payouts on the deal! Look up help for "Jennifer's Juicy Jackpots" for further details. Version 2.00 adds a new card display: Simple Cards. These cards feature a larger image which makes them easier to read on higher resolution monitors. Choose Simple Cards or Fancy Cards from the new "Setup" submenu on the "File" menu. The "Turn Sound On/Off" command has also been moved from the "Options" menu to the "Setup" submenu in 2.00 and later. First-time users will see a new start-up screen allowing choices of which "Goodies" to use. Click in the "Welcome" dialog at program start-up to display the start-up screen during future sessions. *** 1.20 *** Version 1.20 provides an exciting NEW game unique to Jennifer's Sexy Video Poker: Crazy Eights Double Payout poker! With this new Video Poker game, you can win TWICE on each hand: once on the deal, and again on the draw! This is one exciting game! For further details, look for the new HELP menu command, "How to Play Crazy Eights Double Payout Poker." With this new game, registered users of Jennifer's Sexy Video Poker get to play TWENTY-ONE different poker games! That's more than any other video poker program we've seen... and we give you REAL games that you find in the casinos, and every one is different. We're not like those "other" video poker programs out there, programs that tell you they give you 8 video poker variations, but then you find out that the 8 "games" are exactly the same except that one says "25 cents" on the coin slot, one says "$1", one says "$5", etc... what a ripoff! (really... there is a shareware video poker game out there that does this!) With Jennifer's Sexy Video Poker, when we say twenty-one games, we MEAN twenty-one games!!!!! Version 1.20 fixes a bug in older revisions whereby Same Four Wins More and Four Plus Four did not correctly pay out on a Royal Flush. *** 1.10 *** Version 1.10 and later provides a major new feature: customizable payout charts! That's right... you can now EXACTLY duplicate that game you saw down at the casino with Jennifer's Sexy Video Poker, even if the payout charts don't match! Three new commands are available on the "Options" menu: one to customize the payout chart for the game you are currently playing, one to reset the payout chart for the current game to its default value, and one to reset all the payout charts to their default values. This new feature is available ONLY to registered users, so if you haven't already, please register today! The statistics commands, which were on the "Options" menu in earlier versions, have been moved to their own "Statistics" menu in version 1.10 and later. *** 1.04 / 1.03 *** Version 1.04 provides some graphical enhancements and a few maintenance changes. If you're dying to know: the "Game Over" sign now alternates between "Game Over" and "Play 5 Coins", the "Double Up" dialog is prettier, and there are now some 3D fonts. Version 1.03 fixes a minor bug in 1.00, and adds a new feature: Deuces/Jokers Wild now pays the progressive jackpot for both 4 Deuces & Joker, and a Natural Royal Flush. And, all wild deuces games now show "WILD!" on the deuces, as in the casino video poker games. Also, you can now type "Y" or "N" on the keyboard without using "alternate" to choose if you want to double up, and type "2" through "5" to choose your double up card. *** HELP and SOUND FILES *** The help file, POKER.HLP, and the sound files, *.WAV, must remain in the program directory to be accessed by the program. If you don't want sound, and you want to save space on your hard drive, you can delete the .WAV files and the program will still work fine. (Of course, you won't hear Jennifer's voice!) *** VIDEO DRIVER PROBLEMS *** There have been a few reports of problems with the cards displaying. This usually manifests itself with the cards either not lining up correctly with the "Hold" buttons or only half of the cards displaying. This problem is caused by poorly written third-party video drivers which are not compatible with QCARD.DLL (the software used to display the cards.) If you experience this problem, it may be corrected by switching to a Microsoft-supplied video driver. *** ORDERS/BUG REPORTS/COMMENTS/SUGGESTIONS *** The registration fee for Jennifer's Sexy Video Poker is $12.95.
