It was designed after the 7-wilds, Cherries Wild, etc... that you may have seen in nightclubs, bars, etc... Club Slots is played similar to a one-armed-bandit except you may have eight directions in which to win. With each bet (pressing the bet button) you turn on more rows/columns. After each row/column is turned on, you can change the amount of winnings by x1, x2, or x3 (x1 being odds x 1)(x2 being odds x 2) (x3 being odds x 3) up to 24 bets. * Registered Game ONLY! Unregistered game, you can only increase the bet to 8. --------------------- COMMAND LINE OPTIONS: --------------------- You may use the following command line paramaters when loading the game. Put a space between each if using more than one.
