2.0 Installing the Program
NOTE: It is assumed that you are familiar with the
basic Windows operations such as using the mouse,
accessing pull-down menu items, etc. "click" means
to position the mouse cursor on a screen time and
press the LEFT mouse button. "Right Click" means
to press the right mouse button. If you are having
difficulty and are unsure how windows works please
consult your Windows Manual or on-line help for further
information on these topics. You may also access CASINO
PLANNER help anytime from within the program.
Installing CASINO PLANNER on your hard drive
from floppy disk:
1) Start Windows if not already in Windows.
2) Insert Mini floppy into floppy disk drive.
3) From the PROGRAM MANAGER select RUN from the file menu.
4) At the command line enter,
a:setup or b:setup depending on which drive floppy
disk is in.
5) Click OK button to begin the installation process.
6) Follow instructions as prompted on the screen.
3.0 Getting Started
CASINO PLANNER has been designed to be easy to use.
3.1 Ideal for Beginners and Advanced Players
CASINO PLANNER is ideal for both the beginner
and advanced player. Using the power of interactive
multimedia, the non-Mini version of the program takes you
through the basics of the game at your own pace and in the
privacy of your own home. Exclusive features allow the advanced
player to gain access to information on winning NEVER before
available.
3.2 Use the On-line Help
The help incorporates a unique interactive design that
minimizes the need to "dig" for information. Subtopics
or pages (screen - size "chunks" of information) are grouped
in a logical sequence to form subjects similar to chapters
in a book.
3.3 Table "HOT SPOTS" for Different Bet Types
Unfortunately, the layout at a real crap table does not
"label" all of the different bets that can be made.
Likewise, CASINO PLANNER for Craps had to do the same.
But in an effort to make it easier to see where the "areas"
are for different bet types, CASINO PLANNER has an option to
select a "gray" table instead of the standard green or blue.
To select the gray table:
1. Under the Options menu, select "Casino".
2. In the Casino dialog, select the gray table (bottom left
portion of dialog).
3. Click the OK button.
Now you should see a gray crap table in the main screen.
There are different shades of gray to indicate where the
"Hot Spots" are for the various "unlabeled" bets.
To see what type of bet is under a shaded gray area:
1. Hold down the shift key and click with the left mouse
button the shaded area you are interested in.
2. A help window will be displayed explaining the type of
bet selected.
3. After reading the text displayed, go the file menu and
select "Exit". This will take you back to the main table.
Alot of people like the gray table better than the green and
blue tables simply because it is more intuitive and it is
easier to see the chips on a gray table. However, the choice
of table color is yours.
4.0 Troubleshooting
4.1 Sound Problems
CASINO PLANNER recommends using a Soundblaster or
compatible sound card. Make sure you have the correct
card and its required drivers are installed properly.
4.2 Display Problems
Check that your monitor is set to display 256 or more
colors, for best results. If you computer is only capible
of 16 colors, CASINO PLANNER will still work, but some color
combinations may look funny.
4.3 Display Help mode
Check that your monitor is set to display at least 256
colors, for best results. If you are using a setting
of thousands of colors, some video drivers may cause
On-line Help jump text to appear black instead of
green. This is caused by the video driver. Contact
your manufacturer for a copy of the latest driver(s).
4.4 Brightness
The brightness can vary from monitor to monitor.
If the crap table color is too dark (i.e. dark green),
simply increase the brightness control knob on your
monitor.
