A.C. Roulette Documentation File
Thank you for obtaining a copy of A.C. Roulette. The rules are
the same that can be found in most casino's in Nevada and
Atlantic City, however you should always check the rules before
doing any actual gambling.
I hope you enjoy this program but please remember that it is
Shareware and if you continue to use it you must pay a
registration fee of $15.00.
Shareware is try before you buy software that is written by
people and marketed for your use. This allows people to use a
fully operational program and decide whether or not they need to
buy it, unlike retail software that you purchase only to find out
it is not exactly what you needed. Shareware can only be
successful with your continued support.
With the receipt of your registration you will receive the
following:
1) The current version of the software (may be the same as
you have now but it will not include the shareware screen)
2) Notice of Updates
3) You can register A.C. Craps for $5.00 instead of $15.00
4) If you decide to register A.C. Craps you will also receive
the Dumb and Smart craps program. This program explains
why certain wagers are more advantageous to make than other
wagers based on the house advantages.
This file describes how to start the game, and some of
the things you will need to know to begin playing.
It is divided into the following sections:
1.0 Describes the hardware requirements to run the program.
2.0 How to start the program.
3.0 Explains how to play the game and use the keyboard and
mouse effectively.
4.0 Describes the Hot keys which will allow you to place
your wagers.
5.0 How to toggle the sound.
6.0 Explains the Menu commands.
7.0 How to obtain technical support.
8.0 Final notes.
1.0 HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
This program requires an IBM or IBM compatible computer
with at least 300 K of free memory. The program will run
on the following monitors:
Ega
Vga
Mcga
Hercules (You may have problems seeing the
mouse cursor in this mode)
It does not require a color monitor or a mouse, however
both are recommended. The following files are required, and
must be in the same directory as ACRLT.EXE.
ROdds.lst : Contains the odds info.
RHKeys.lst : Contains the hot key info.
RH.Hlp : Contains the help info.
RFiles.Sav : Contains a list of files to choose
from when saving or restoring the game.
*.Rlt And *.Bts : These files contain the information
used when you save and restore your
games.
The DsCraps.Tut is for the Dumb and Smart craps Tutor
program, which will be sent to you upon registration.
2.0 STARTING THE PROGRAM
To start the program ensure you are in the same directory
that the game is in. If you must change to that directory
then, type the following at the DOS prompt
"cd [Directory Name]" and press <Enter>.
For further information consult your DOS manual.
To start the program type ACRLT at the DOS prompt.
3.0 HOW TO PLAY THE GAME
The following paragraphs will explain how to play the
game and give a brief description of when bets can be
made and what their consequences will be.
3.1 HOW TO USE THE MOUSE
To select items in the Menu Bar just Click the left
button on the selection you would like to make.
To select a wager Click the left button on Wager then
click in the area of the screen where you are trying to
make a wager.
To select an item in a window the item must be double
clicked. Alternatively the item can be clicked once with
the left button. Clicking the left button again selects
the highlighted item. Pressing the right button when a
window is open is equivalent to pressing Esc.
If a window is opened with a scroll bar the mouse can
be clicked in the scroll bar and the text in the window
will display the text corresponding to that position
(i.e. Clicking in the middle of the scroll bar displays
the middle of the text list). Clicking on the up or down
arrows will increment or decrement the list by one.
3.2 HOW TO USE THE KEYBOARD
All menu commands can be executed from the keyboard by
pressing the first letter of the menu item. This also
applies to all open windows that require entry.
If a window is open with a scroll bar, the bar is
incremented and decremented by the Up and Down arrow keys.
The Home and End keys will move to the start and end of
the list. Also Page up and Page Down will move the list
up and down. Once the window is open it can be closed
by pressing ESC. You will exit the window without making
program entry.
To make wagers with the Keyboard you must press the
HotKey combination for the desired wager. These HotKeys
are listed in paragraph 4.0 and can be viewed at any time
from the View/Hotkey window selection.
3.3 PLAYING THE GAME
When the game is started you will see the Roulette
table drawn on the screen. The opening window will ask
you to enter the number of players (1 to 4). You can
either select the amount of players by double clicking
the mouse in the desired box or entering the number from
the keyboard. Next you'll be prompted to enter the
players name. Only characters and spaces are allowed,
no numbers please. If you make a mistake a window will
open telling where the mistake is. Press escape and
re-enter the field.
Now the program is waiting for you to make a wager.
To make a wager click on the wager menu item and then
select a wager that you would like to make by clicking
in the area of the screen, or use the hotkey combination
listed in paragraph 4.0 for the desired bet. For
multiple players a window will open asking which player
will make the wager. After selecting which player,
the wager window will open and prompt you for a wager
amount. Please enter only whole dollar amounts otherwise
the error window will open. After making all desired
wagers press Escape or click the right button then select
Spin from the menu.
Now that you know how to make wagers and Spin the wheel
you must understand how to play roulette to continue.
