- Bugs Fixed in 2.01
- ------------------
- Payouts for natural straights were ignored in all games.
- This has been corrected in the 2.01 update.
-
- Also, the payouts for a Straight Flush with a Joker and
- Five of a Kind in Joker Poker were reversed. This has
- been corrected in the 2.01 update as well.
-
- New Features
- ------------
- Version 2.01 now includes both 8/5 and 9/6 Jacks or Better,
- Kings or Better Joker Poker, and of course you may still
- play Deuces Wild as well.
-
- Version 2.01 also has expanded the detail on the Game
- Statistics and you may now save the stats for any game
- separately or print them directly from within the game.
-
- You may now Cash out the current credits into the new
- Credit Bank. The Credit Bank is maintained separately
- from any game. As a result you may add credits to any
- game from the Credit Bank.
-
- We have also improved the gaphics, interface, and general
- appearance of the program.
-
- Upgrading from earlier versions
- -------------------------------
- Version 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2 game files (*.vpp) are
- compatible with, and may be opened in, version 2.01.
- However, in some instances you may get a message box
- that says, "Please finish the current hand before
- changing games." Just click OK and ignore the message.
- Once you save the game in version 2.01 format the message
- will not appear. However, version 2.01 game files (*.vp2)
- are NOT compatible with earlier versions.
