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.
