Windows:
-------------------------------------------
On the left side of the screen you will see
some window fields. They are: Your Time,
Your Coins, Coin Value, Max Turns, and Your
Turns.
YOUR TIME: This is how many minutes you
have on your account. This does NOT
include the time you've spent actually
playing the game (which is also subtracted
from your time remaining when you leave the
game).
YOUR COINS: This is how many coins you have
remaining. Each coin has a value indicated
by the Coin Value window field. This should
also explain the meaning of the COIN VALUE
window field.
MAX TURNS: This is how many turns a player
may take per day. This is defined by the
BBS Sysop and can be a value from 1 to 1000.
YOUR TURNS: This is your turn count for the
day. Each time you take a turn, the value
in this field will increase by 1.
Commands:
-------------------------------------------
<H>elp - This help will be displayed.
<L>ist Log - Lists a log of the last 15
players and how they did.
<P>ull Lever - Subtracts one coin from
your bank and starts play.
<Q>uit Game - Quits the game.
<R>edraw Scr. - This is in case of line
noise. The screen is
cleared and redrawn for you.
Values:
-------------------------------------------
The values that display in a window can be
any one of the following:
CHERRY ORANGE PLUM BELL
MELON BAR SEVEN SKULL
The possible winning values (combinations)
are displayed on the front of the machine
(where this help file is now being
displayed). A winning combination must
always start in the leftmost window and
it must be consecutive in all other
windows.
In other words, if you got a PLUM, CHERRY,
CHERRY combination, you would not win
anything because the leftmost window did
not contain a winning value.
For example:
1 CHERRY: CHERRY must be in the leftmost
window.
2 CHERRY: CHERRY must be in the leftmost and
middle windows.
3 CHERRY: Obviously, CHERRY must be in all
windows. (City Slot format only)
The rest of the combinations are obvious and
take up all three windows. The only
combination that you really want to watch
out for is the 3 SKULL combination. If you
get this combination you lose all but one of
your coins (this is to give you time to exit
the game and logoff the system properly).
Notes: If a System Event is pending
within your logon time duration, the System
will still log you off!
