Playing Bertha Slot
___________________
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.
Note: The 2000 coin payoff will only occur if five coins are
inserted, and the Programmer's Shop bars line up on the fifth pay
line, which is a diagonal line extending from the lower left to
the upper right.

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.
