CasinoStud 1.0

Introduction
------------
Thank you for trying CasinoStud. CasinoStud is a collection of four
stud poker games for the Palm Computing Platform. It consists of
CaribStud (Caribean Stud Poker), DoubleDown, LetItRide, and ThreeCard
(Three Card Poker). Each of the four games contain the same rules as
the similarly named games found in many casinos.
Each of these four games are available individually from Rose Software.
CasinoStud packages them together into one game with a common bankroll
and the ability to quickly switch games. The price of these games
individually would total $25. However, by purchasing CasinoStud at
the competitively low price of $15, you save almost half.
The initial bankroll provided by this program is $500. If you run out
of money, you will need to register the program in order to be able to
"buy" additional chips and continue playing the game. You may register
on-line via credit card or by mail with a check or money order. Please
see the "Registration" section below for more details.

Software web page at:

for more information on the menu options.
CaribStud
---------
The screen for the CaribStud game is divided as follows:
+---------------------------------------+
|CaribStud |
| |
| Dealer Card Area |
| |
|---------------------------------------|
| Player Card Area |
| |
| |
| |
|----------+------+---------------------|
| Bankroll | Ante | Play Buttons |
+----------+------+---------------------+
The ante amount can be changed by selecting inside the Ante area. Valid
ante amounts are $5 to $25 in increments of $5. After selecting the ante
amount, press the Deal button to wager the ante amount and deal the cards.
Five cards are dealt each to the player and dealer, with only one of the
dealer's cards being exposed. If you decide to drop your hand, select the
Drop button, and only your ante amount will be lost. If you decide to
bet your hand select the Bet button. You will be wagering an additional
amount equal to twice the ante. For example, if you have a $5 ante amount,
the total amount wagered will be the $5 ante plus a $10 bet.
When the Bet button is pressed, the dealer's remaining cards will be
exposed. If the dealer does not "qualify" (meaning an Ace-King or higher),
then you win an amount equal to the ante. If the dealer does qualify, then
it becomes your hand against the dealer's. If you win the hand, then you
win the ante amount, plus an amount determined by the amount of the bet
(not ante) and the poker hand. Each poker hand will pay out a different
amount.
The payouts are as follows:
Pair or less 1:1
Two Pair 2:1
Three of a kind 3:1
Straight 4:1
Flush 5:1
Full House 7:1
Four of a Kind 20:1
Straight Flush 50:1
ROYAL FLUSH 100:1
In addition to the above payouts, you may be entitled to additional payouts
from the progressive jackpot. These are paid if you bet, but regardless of
whether the dealer qualifies or whether you win the hand or not.
Flush $50
Full House $100
Four of a Kind $500
Straight Flush 10% of progressive jackpot
ROYAL FLUSH 100% of progressive jackpot
The progressive jackpot starts at $10,000, and is increased by $1 for each
hand played. The amount in the progressive jackpot may be viewed by selecting
the "Progressive Jackpot" menu button. Each time one of the above amounts is
won, it is subtracted from the progressive jackpot. However, the minimum value
of the progressive jackpot is always $10,000.
DoubleDown
----------
The screen for the DoubleDown game is divided as follows:
+---------------------------------------+
|DoubleDown |
| |
| |
| Player Card Area |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
|----------+------+---------------------|
| Bankroll | Ante | Play Buttons |
+----------+------+---------------------+
The ante amount can be changed by selecting inside the Ante area. Valid
ante amounts are $5 to $25 in increments of $5. After selecting the ante
amount, press the Deal button to start the game.
When the deal button is pressed, you start by wagering an amount equal to
ante amount. Five cards are dealt, with four of the cards being exposed
and the remaining card being covered.
After the cards are dealt, the "Stnd" and "Dbl" buttons are displayed in the
Play Buttons area. If you like your cards, you may press the Dbl button to
double your bet. If you do not like your cards, you may press the Stnd
button to leave your bet as-is.
After either button is pressed, the covered card is exposed. If the
player has a pair of sixes or better he is paid based on the amount of bet
and the payout odds, which are based on the final hand.
The payouts are as follows:
Pair (6s or better) push
Pair (Jacks or better) 1:1
Two Pair 2:1
Three of a kind 3:1
Straight 5:1
Flush 8:1
Full House 11:1
Four of a Kind 50:1
Straight Flush 200:1
ROYAL FLUSH 2000:1
Since you cannot lose with a pair of sixes or better, it is in your best
interest to double the bet when you have a pair of sixes or better showing, and
to stand if you have a low possibility of finishing with a paying hand.
LetItRide

The screen for the LetItRide game is divided as follows:

The ante amount can be changed by selecting inside the Ante area. Valid
ante amounts are $5 to $25 in increments of $5. After selecting the ante
amount, press the Deal button to start the game.
When the deal button is pressed, you start by wagering an amount equal to
three times the ante amount. However, you will have the opportunity to
pull back up to two of the ante amounts if you don't like your cards. Five
cards are dealt, with three of the cards being exposed and the remaining
two cards being covered.
After the cards are dealt, the "Bet" and "Pull" buttons are di
