-------------------- GAMBLE RULES OF PLAY -------------------- GAMBLE is played much like BINGO. First you select a Gamble! board with 25 random numbers from 0 to 99. You are allowed to play two times daily by * obtaining the days 5 tokens which are randomly chosen. If the number on * the token matches one of the numbers on your 'Gamble' board, the token will be placed on the board. The winner is the first player to get 5 tokens in a line, either horizontially, vertically, or diagonally. If you are a winner, simply select option "<7>..Winners Declaration!" Since you are limited to two turns per day, YOUR ODDS OF WINNING * INCREASE DRAMATICALLY WHEN YOU PLAY THEM ALL. Don't panic if you miss a few turns though - you can still get the tokens later since tokens can be duplicates of previous days tokens. Five tokens are chosen at random for * each turn. Each turn will be available for play beginning at 12:00 midnight and at 12:00 noon. PLACE TOKENS ------------ Select this option to place this turns tokens on your GAMBLE board. All tokens with a number which matches a number on your GAMBLE board will be placed. In the event that a new turn is supposed to begin while you are already in the GAMBLE game, simply exit GAMBLE and then return and the new tokens will be shown to you. GAMBLE ------- If you don't like the tokens available for a turn, you can GAMBLE. When you GAMBLE, you will receive 5 new tokens. If any of them match the * numbers on your board, they will be placed accordingly. There is a downside to GAMBLE though. You will also be given one additional token called a 'KILLER Token'. If the KILLER Token matches one of the numbers on your board and there is a token placed there, that token will be removed. If no token exists on the board for the number, the KILLER Token will be DISCARDED. LEADER BOARD ------------ The LEADER BOARD shows you the names of the player who have already completed this game of GAMBLE, if any. GAME STATUS ----------- Here you can obtain useful information on the status of the current game such as number of players, leaders, average number of useful tokens per turn, and average number of useful tokens per turn while Gambling! AWARDS ------ If awards are being given to winners of this game of GAMBLE, the awards option will be available. By selecting this option, you will be presented with the awards which will be given to the winners. WINNERS DECLARATION ------------------- As soon as you have 5 tokens in a row, either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, you must select WINNERS DECLARATION in order for you to be recorded as a winner. If you have in fact won, you will be shown the place in which you've finished, i.e. FIRST PLACE, SECOND PLACE, etc. You will also be told to check the AWARDS section (if applicable) to see what you have won.
