- Player's Choice Video Keno 1.5
- c.) 1996 Ron Dombroski's Software Creations
- Shareware Version
-
- Note: This program is shareware. If you enjoy playing, you MUST register within 30 days of
- playing. See the registration form REGISTER.WRI and the game's on-line help for details.
-
-
- Installation: To install Player's Choice Video Keno, unzip these files (using Winzip 95 or a
- similar program) to their own directory, say "c:\Keno". Then, click on the Keno icon in explorer
- to run the game. Note: This game requires the Visual Basic 32 bit runtime libraries. I did not
- distribute these libraries with the program, because chances are you already have them. If the
- game refuses to run, you'll need to download the file libraries. Look for them at
- http://www.windows95.com or ftp://ftp.winsite.com. These files are about 1.2MB zipped, and
- you'll need them for many shareware programs you can download. Refer to the instructions that
- come with the runtime libaries for assistance.
-
- To create an icon for Video Keno in your games folder on the start menu, right click on the task
- bar, choose propeties, then start menu programs. Choose the Add option, and follow the
- instructions. Please refer to the Windows 95 help files for assistance.
-
- For Windows 3.1 users, start Windows File Manager and create a new directory on your hard disk,
- say c:\keno. Using Winzip or a similar program, unzip the shareware distribution file to the
- new directory. Finally, return to program manager and open the file menu. Choose new, then
- the new icon option. Tell Windows 3.1 where you put the keno program and the name of the
- executable (for this example, c:\keno\keno.exe). Click ok, and the program's icon should appear.
- Just double-click on this icon to start the game! Please consult your Windows documentation for
- more details.
-
- The registered version of this program ships on two 3-1/2" HD floppy diskettes, and contains all
- runtime files mentioned above, as well as a user friendly setup program. It is available for
- Windows 3.1 as well. See the registration form for details.

- How to play: When you start video keno, a window appears telling about the program. Following a
- 10 second delay, click the OK button to continue. A traditional style Keno screen appears.
- Playing Player's Choice Video Keno is so easy, you probably don't even need these instructions.
- Player's Choice Video Keno works just like a regular keno machine. In this shareware version of
- the game, only regular keno is available. Also, only dollar type credits can be used. These
- options are on by default, so there's no need to manually select a game or currency type.
- To play standard keno, choose between 2 and 10 numbers by clicking on the number of your choice.
- Clicking again will turn the number off. The payout will be adjusted accordingly on the payout
- screen. Next, place your bet by moving the "bet bar" at the bottom of the screen. You may bet
- between 1 and 10 credits per hand. To make the game play faster or slower, move the "speed bar"
- on the left of the screen. Finally, press "play" to begin playing. The computer will choose 20
- numbers at random. If the computer chooses a number which you picked, a smiley face will appear.
- If the computer's number doesn't match your's, a sad face will appear. You will be awarded for
- "hits", or matching numbers, according to the payoff on the payout screen. To play again with
- the same numbers, click "play." You may also change your bet by moving the "bet bar." Finally,
- to change your numbers, hit the "reset" button. You can play as many games as you wish until
- your money is gone. To exit the game, choose "Exit" from the Game menu. Most importantly, have
- fun, and good luck!
