Note: This program is shareware.  If you enjoy playing, you MUST register within 30 days of 
      playing.  See the registration form REGISTER.WRI and the game's on-line help for details.


Installation: To install Player's Choice Video Keno, unzip these files (using winzip 95 or a
similar program) to their own directory, say "c:\Keno".  Then, click on the Keno icon in explorer
to run the game.  Note: This game requires the Visual Basic 32 bit runtime libraries.  I did not
distribute these libraries with the program, because chances are you already have them.  If the
game refuses to run, you'll need to download the file libraries.  Look for them at 
http://www.windows95.com or ftp://ftp.winsite.com.  These files are about 1.2MB zipped, and
you'll need them for many shareware programs you can download.  Refer to the instructions that
come with the runtime libaries for assistance.

To create an icon for Video Keno in your games folder on the start menu, right click on the task
bar, choose propeties, then start menu programs.  Choose the Add option, and follow the
instructions.  Please refer to the Windows 95 help files for assistance.

The registered version of this program ships on two 3-1/2" HD floppy diskettes, and contains all
runtime files mentioned above, as well as a user friendly setup program.  It is available for
Windows 3.1 as well.  See the registration form for details.


System Requirements:

       Windows 95 (Windows 3.1 version also available)
       Mouse
       486sx and sound card recommended


How to play: When you start video keno, a window appears telling about the program.  Following a
10 second delay, click the OK button to continue.  A traditional style Keno screen appears.
Playing Player's Choice Video Keno is so easy, you probably don't even need these instructions. 
Player's Choice Video Keno works just like a regular keno machine.  In this shareware version of
the game, only regular keno is available.  Also, only dollar type credits can be used.  These
options are on by default, so there's no need to manually select a game or currency type.  
To play standard keno, choose between 2 and 10 numbers by clicking on the number of your choice.
Clicking again will turn the number off. The payout will be adjusted accordingly on the payout
screen.  Next, place your bet by moving the "bet bar" at the bottom of the screen.  You may bet
between 1 and 10 credits per hand.  To make the game play faster or slower, move the "speed bar"
on the left of the screen.  Finally, press "play" to begin playing.  The computer will choose 20
numbers at random.  If the computer chooses a number which you picked, a smiley face will appear.  
If the computer's number doesn't match your's, a sad face will appear.  You will be awarded for
"hits", or matching numbers, according to the payoff on the payout screen.  To play again with
the same numbers, click "play."  You may also change your bet by moving the "bet bar."  Finally,
to change your numbers, hit the "reset" button.  You can play as many games as you wish until
your money is gone.  To exit the game, choose "Exit" from the Game menu.  Most importantly, have
fun, and good luck!
