- Bingo Mania! 2.0 (BINGOMA)
- Himowitz, Michael J.
- $30
- is a Bingo game manager. It picks numbers, displays them in huge letters on
- screen, tracks numbers called, prints out results, and keeps statistics on how
- many times each number has come up in order to demonstrate randomness. It also
- prints customized, random bingo cards. This is great for clubs and churches.
-
- Bio-Lotto (BIOLOT)
- Soleau, William
- $5-$10
- will assist you in picking lottery numbers based on your personal biorythms.
- This is more like it. I personally get irritated by programs that purport to
- use mathematical analysis to foretell the results of a future random selection
- of numbers. Here's a program more to my liking -- if you're going to engage in
- voodoo, use voodoo; don't pretend to use science. After analyzing your chances
- of success based on your biorythms for the day of the lottery, it will
- generate number selections for you based on numbers that it deems to be "good"
- for you.
-
- Lottery2 (LOTTRY2)
- is designed to help you with the frustrating chore of choosing your lottery
- numbers.
-
- NJPick
- Dunrovin Services
- $3
- is a set of programs and data for the NJ Pick-6 lottery. Included is a
- comma-divided text file of the winning PICK-6 numbers from inception to
- 5/25/89; a program to count and summarize the number of occurrences of each
- number and calculate a time-weighted value of occurrences; and other similar
- scientific analysis of unscientific occurrences (excuse our skepticism). The C
- code for these programs is included.
-
- Odds and Sods 1.0 (ODDS)
- Q&D Software Development
- $5
- lets you figure the odds of any lottery game.
-
- Payoff
- Andrews, Scott
- $0
- will help you make the decision whether to bet a horse to win, place, or show.
- You provide the track information and odds from the daily paper. Various charts
- and reports are available showing payoffs, etc.
-
- PCBingo
- Bielkiewicz, Mike
- $10
- lets you run a bingo game with your PC. We've previously rejected another
- bingo game by a different author in which the computer marks the on-screen
- cards and all the player gets to do is sit back and push Enter. This program
- does it right. It prints out the cards and it's up to the players to pay
- attention to the numbers, just like real bingo. Up to eight cards can be
- printed on regular paper.
-
- RaceTrak 1.0
- Margulis, Peter
- $3-$4
- is a horserace game for up to 10 bettors. It closely simulates being at the
- track. You place bets, watch the race (with CGA or mono-graphics compatible
- video) and the computer keeps track of how much you've won or lost. The
- horses' names and odds are randomly generated and the results of the races are
- based on these odds. There are also varying track lengths and conditions that
- affect the results. The graphics are somewhat crude, but effective. The
- overall design of the program is very good, in our opinion. If you can't take
- the accompanying music, get SILENCER on disk 1-UT-270.
