- Game is pretty straight forward, first you enter your name
- and press <ENTER>. If you do not enter your name, the program
- picks a name for you out of thirty one male and female names
- including "Hey You". This is just to add a little variety to the
- game. Your name can be anything, numbers, letters or any
- combination. To edit your name, press the <BACKSPACE>, when
- finished press <ENTER>. The <BACKSPACE> is used in all entries
- that contain brackets like this [ ].
-
- This is a Las Vegas style keno, you pick from 1 to 15
- numbers, called spots. You type in the numbers, or spots, and
- press <ENTER>, repeating the process until you have entered up to
- 15 spots. You may exit any time after entering one number by
- pressing <ENTER> without data (blank). You then enter your wager,
- or bet, you start the game with $10,000. There is a minimum
- wager, if less than 10 spots it is $1, over 10 spots and the
- minimum is $2. As with the spots, pressing <ENTER> completes the
- entry. If you want to repeat a set of numbers or bet on following
- plays, press <ENTER> when the [ ] appears.
-
- The Payoff Table is accessible from the play screen by
- pressing <P> at any of the entry positions [ ] or from the
- Options Menu. Press <ENTER> to continue or <ESC> to Exit.

- routine. You advance to View Top Ten. If your holdings are
- greater than the 10th entry it is added to the list, pressing
- <ENTER> advances you to the Options Menu. The Options Menu is
- reached by game completion or by pressing <Q> from the play
- screen.
-
- If the Top Ten gets too high, just start over, erase them.
- You must press <Y> to confirm the erasure of the Top Ten, so
- don't be afraid of accidentally erasing them. The program does
- perform disk read and writes, please make sure if using a floppy,
- that it is not WRITE PROTECTED and there is room on it for the
- score file, at least 510 bytes free. The help screens can be
- reached by pressing <H> at any entry position [ ]. That's all
- there is to it.
