This is a shareware version of the game.  It is not time limited and will not nag you so you can relax and enjoy trying the game.  There are some limitations, and the full version is much better so we hope you will consider ordering at some point.

The full registered version eliminates the opening screen so you can begin to play immediately and removes all the limitations.  The game will also remember all your customization of colors, payoffs, and bets.


Intro

This computer game is based on the Video Poker games popular in most casinos.  Video poker is played with standard poker rules, but is much faster and more exciting than typical poker because you can win many times your original bet.  The players goal is to have a hand value of two Jacks or better.  A pair of Jacks will return your original bet (so at least you dont lose).  You will need some higher hands with bigger payoffs, in order to get ahead in the game (or to make money in a casino).

This game has the additional advantage of being able to use some of the resources of your computer.  When you are lucky enough to make a big poker hand of two pair or better,  you will be rewarded with a customizable sound and picture.  This makes the game much more flexible than a normal strip poker or poker game.  You may use any standard windows BMP or WAV files.  This will keep the game interesting since you can view endless pictures and play all sorts of sounds.

On this picture screen you can select Configure from a drop down menu and point to the WAV file and BMP files of your choice.  This only occurs on hands of two pair or better.


Advanced
Serious Video Poker players may wish to use the Advanced menu and change the payoffs of any hand. This allows simulating the changing conditions on various machines in the Casinos.  Using this option professional players can reprogram the game and test strategies and theories.  In the full version these settings are saved between sessions.  In Vegas especially, there are many professional players who have asked for this feature.

In selecting a value,  remember zero returns your original bet and no bonus. One returns your original bet plus one times the bet as a bonus.


Play
How to Play:

1. The player makes a bet, the shareware version is limited to $20 maximum bet.

2. 5 cards are dealt face up for the player.

3. Player must now decide which of the 5 cards to discard or hold, in  this computer game you hold a card by mouse clicking on the card or box underneath the card.

4. The player wins with a poker hand of two Jacks or better. For high hands like two pair of better he receives a *bonus* payment which is a multiple of the amount bet.  The higher the hand the more you receive.

Since you only win back your original bet with Jacks or better you need to make higher hands in order to get ahead in the game.

Default Bonus Payoffs which you can change (see advanced):

Two Pair	2X

Three of a Kind	3X

Straight	4X

Flush	5X

Full House	8X

Four of a Kind 	12X

Straight Flush  	50X

Royal Flush   	100X

The table above includes the original bet. So if you bet $5 a pair of Jacks returns $5, two pair $10,  three of a kind $15.

When you have a good hand of two pair or better you will be rewarded with a picture (.BMP File ) and a sound (.WAV) file combination.

This picture screen contains a configuration option which will let you select any .BMP or .WAV file which will become your new reward screen.  You may also select the Random mode which will pick a different picture each time from the directory you selected.

For the shareware version betting is limited to $20 Maximum and the game will end if  your total goes over $150 or less than 10 after playing at least 10 hands.  This allows you to fully try the game without crippling any features or excessive nagging.  The complete paid version comes on a full 1.44 diskette with other great software.


About
This game was originally called Turbo Video Poker.  It was renamed to reflect the new enhancements which allow the displaying of a picture and sound file.

Shareware
DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE

Shareware (also known as try before you buy) distribution

gives users a chance to try software before buying it.

Everyone is encouraged to use Shareware programs,

and if you try a program and continue

using it, you are expected to register. With registration,

you get anything from the simple right to continue

using the software to an updated program with printed manual.

Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software,

and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific

exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished

programmers, just like commercial authors, and the programs are

of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good programs

and bad ones!) The main difference is in the method of

distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy

and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a

specific group. For example, some authors require written

permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their

Shareware.

Shareware is a distribution method, not a  type of software. You

should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook,

whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes

fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy.

Shareware has many advantages.  If you don't use the

product, you don't pay for it.  You get a current version,

service and technical support big companies cannot give you.
