MicroBucks II version 2.0
_________________________
A little electronic marvel! This is a 3-reel, 5-coin slot machine
with beautiful EGA graphics and Sound Blaster support. This game
is popular with very young children because of the lights, colors,
music, and ease of play. Adults will enjoy it because it is an
authentic simulation of a casino slot machine with a 98.9% payback.

This is another great game by Ted and Diana Gruber, the people who
brought you Scramble, Klondike, Keno, and the Las Vegas EGA Casino.
System Requirements
___________________
This game requires a computer with the ability to display EGA or VGA

Installing and Starting the Game
________________________________
To install Microbucks II, just copy all the files into the directory
of your choice. If you don't have a Sound Blaster card, you can
delete all the files with the ".VOC" extension.
Type "mbucks2" to start the game. A title screen will appear, and after
a brief pause you can press a key to continue. The reason for the
pause is it takes a few seconds to load the graphics into memory.
Playing Mbucks2
______________
Press the space bar to insert coins. You can insert from 1 to 5
coins. Each time you insert a coin, the corresponding pay bar at the
top of the screen will "light up". Press the <Enter> key to pull the
handle. If you insert 5 coins, the handle will pull automatically.
If you press the <Ins> key, you can insert 5 coins at one time.
Turn the Sound Off
__________________
The sound is one of the best things about this game. But if you
get tired of listening to the sound effects, press the <NumLock>
key to turn the sound off.
Exit the Program
________________
Press the <Esc> key to exit to DOS.
