SHAREWARE VS REGISTERED VERSION
Poker Slot is written in two versions, a ShareWare version and
a Registered version. The ShareWare version is not crippled
in anyway. This is a fully functional program of Poker Slot.
Users of the ShareWare version will have a message appear at
the end of the game. The message will state that the program
is NOT free and continued use of the program requires
registration with United Innovations Plus.
The Registered version of Poker Slot has added features for
users that register their copy by filling out the Registration
Form and sending in the required registration fee.
The following documentation for Poker Slot explains all the
features for the Registered version. The words "Registered
Version Only" may appear throughout the documentation. These
are the added features in the Registered version.
POKER SLOT
Video Poker Slot is widely played throughout the gambling
casinos found in Nevada and New Jersey. Playing one of these
slot machines is easy. You should have a knowledge of poker
before playing.
The object of the game is to get a poker hand of Jack's or
better before you can win any money. You will be paid off
depending on your hand. The better the hand, the more money
you'll win.
Just like the real Poker Slot machine, you must first insert
some money. You'll be playing a dollar Poker Slot, so each coin
will be worth one dollar. You may insert any amount from $1 to
$5 into the Poker Slot machine. Once you've placed your coins
into the machine, you will be ready to deal a hand.
STARTING POKER SLOT
From your DOS prompt, type PSLOT and press the ENTER key. In
order for PSlot to run, you must be logged onto the directory
where PSLOT.EXE, PSLIB01.INF, PSLIB02.INF, PSLIB03.INF and
PSLIB04.INF reside.
You may either play Poker Slot with a mouse or your keyboard.
When starting Poker Slot by typing PSLOT, you automatically
default to mouse usage. If Poker Slot has trouble detecting
your mouse or your mouse driver is not installed, you will be
dropped into the keyboard mode. To start Poker Slot in the
keyboard mode with your mouse driver installed, type PSLOT K and
press the ENTER key.
- 2 -
The first screen you see will be the boot screen. This will
display the copyright notice and version number of PSlot. A
message will be displayed on the bottom of the screen asking you
to either press a mouse button or the ENTER key.
The next screen you see will be the Poker Slot layout. You will
be playing Poker Slot from this screen.
PLAYING POKER SLOT
The Poker Slot layout will resemble a Video Poker Slot machine.
Before playing, you must insert from $1 to $5 into the machine.
Once this is done, you must deal the cards by pressing the Deal
button. Once the hand has been dealt, you select which of the
five cards you wish to hold. Press the Deal button again and
the cards not being held are discarded. They are then replaced
with new cards from the deck.
NOTE: Always be sure to press the Hold button on the cards you
wish to hold before pressing the Deal button again. If this is
not done, you could lose on a good hand that was dealt pat.
On the Poker Slot layout, you will see either 10 or 12 yellow
buttons. The game is played by selecting one of the buttons.
USING THE KEYBOARD
To press one of the buttons when using the keyboard, you will be
pressing on the key that represents the button you select. If a
button does not display a number or function key, you must
select that button by pressing the first letter that describes
the button you wish to push.
USING A MOUSE
When using a mouse to play Poker Slot, move the mouse cursor to
the yellow button of your choice, and press either mouse button.
While in the mouse mode, you will not be able to use the
keyboard.
BUTTON DESCRIPTIONS
The following will explain the buttons and their function:
Hold Buttons
(Numbers 1 through 5)
The Hold buttons will only work once you deal the cards.
Selecting a Hold button will mark the card as being held. If
you change your mind, select the same button and the marker will
be turned off. If you are dealt a pat hand, you must press each
Hold button before dealing the next round of cards.

Insert Coin Button
(I)
Before dealing a hand of poker, you must first insert from 1 to
5 coins into the machine. Pressing the Insert Coin button will
insert one coin each time the button is pressed. If you insert
the maximum allowable coins of 5, the cards will be dealt
automatically.
Max. Coins Button
(M)
Pressing the Max. Coins button will insert the maximum amount of
coins into the machine. The cards will be then dealt
automatically. If you have already used the Insert Coin button,
you may still use the Max. Coins button. Doing this will
continue inserting coins until the maximum amount of coins are
placed into the machine.
Deal Button
(F1)
Pressing the Deal button will deal the cards. Remember, coins
must first be inserted into the machine before you will be

and Hits back to zero. The Counter, Hands Played and Hits are

prompt. You cannot quit playing until you have finished playing
the hand. IE: You've pressed the Deal button once and decide
to quit before holding any cards. You haven't completed that
hand. You must press the Deal button again.

added to the Progressive Pot. This will be displayed at the top
of the Poker Slot machine. In order to win the Progressive Pot,
you must have the best possible poker hand with the maximum
coins inserted into the machine. If you happen to be one of the
lucky ones that gets a Royal Flush, your payoff will be $4000
plus the Progressive Pot if you have inserted 5 coins.
CREDITS
Each time you place a coin into the machine, your credits will
decrease by one. When you win with one of the 9 possible types
of poker hands, your credits will increase. Your credits will
be shown above the Deal and Quit buttons. Each time you start
Poker Slot from your DOS prompt, your credits will be zero.
COUNTER
The counter will display the total amount of coins inserted into
the machine. The Registered Version will keep a running total
of the coins. The ShareWare version will always start zero.
HANDS PLAYED
The total amount of hands played will be displayed below the
Counter. If you were to always insert one coin per hand, both
the Counter and Hands Played figures would be the same. The
Registered Version will keep a running total of the hands
played. The ShareWare version will always start at zero.
HITS
The right side of your screen will show a tally of the types of
poker hands you have made. Each time you make a poker hand that
is payable, the corresponding hand will increase by one. The
Registered Version will keep a running count of these hits. The
ShareWare Version will always start at zero.
