-
- ~ Video Bandit - Video Poker in a Slot Machine. Video Bandit is played like
- a Video Poker game. You put your money in, pull the handle, and select from
- the 5 cards displayed, the ones you want to hold or discard and spin again.
- If you are lucky, and get a pair of Jacks or better, collect your winnings.

- ~* Scoring *
-
- ~The payoff is shown on the front of the Video Bandit Machine. The better the
- hand the bigger the payoff. The Joker does not count for anything unless you
- get 5 of them...then it's bad news because you loose everything.
-
- ~* Features *
-
- ~ The game is very simple to play. Move the marker to the bet amount that
- you want to bet. Available amounts are $1, $5, $10, $50 and $100 tokens. You
- will be able to bet that domination as long as your available funds is equal
- to or greater than your selection.
-
- For instance, if you have $200 available to play you will be able to play with
- $100 tokens or less. When your total goes below $100 you will only be able to
- play with $1, $5, $10 or $50 tokens. When you go below $50 you will only be
- able to bet $1, $5 or $10 tokens. And so on until you run out of money.
-
- Hot keys are available at the opening Main Menu and at closing Score Menu.
- You may select options while a screen is printing. This is handy, once you
- become familiar with the game and don't need to see the options.
-
- ~* Registered Features *
-
- ~ Once Video Bandit is registered, the following features are available.
-
- ~ The game has the Make-Up Missed Hands and Play Ahead Day features.
- if 3 hands are allowed per day and you only play two, you don't have to worry
- with calling back in the same day. You can call in on any other day and after
- playing the current day you can select that day on the calendar and "make-up"
- the remaining hands. These days are marked by an 'h' on the calendar, to
- indicating you've played on that day but have hands remaining.
