                                 Copyright


The WilsonWare Poker Slots Door game is distributed as SHAREWARE.
Under this concept you may use the SHAREWARE (unregistered) version for a
reasonable period of time after which you should either register your copy or
discontinue usage.



                               Registration

I feel that sysop's have enough expense without charging a high cost for
a game for their users.  I have set the cost of registration at $5.00
which I feel if people will follow the shareware concept will be enough
to cover the expense to obtain and converting these old doors.

Go to http://BBSFiles.com and register this and many other doors.


                               Distribution

You are free, in fact encouraged, to distribute the SHAREWARE (unregistered)
version of Poker Slots provided that all files contained in the original Poker
Slots archive are distributed in their original unmodified state.



                               Introduction
                                     &
                                How To Play

The Poker Slot Machine allows users to bet money then pull the handle
on the incredible poker slot machine.  Money is won by spinning poker
hands on the slot wheel (Royal Flush pays 10 times the bet, Full House
pays 7 times the bet, etc.).  The sysop determines the number of games
allowed per day and the number of spins allowed per game.
The all time champion as well as last months champion are displayed.



                          Options and Information

This door game will also create color and mono top 10 bulletins and write them
in directories of your choice written in the .CFG file. The top player of the
previous month is displayed within the bulletins as well as the all time
high scorer.



                      Installation and Setup

Setup of the game is a simple procedure. Create a directory for Poker Slots and
unzip the files in Poker.zip into the directory.

Edit the POKER.CFG file to suit your BBS setup.

I will describe each file that exists


POKER.CFG contains:

Demo Copy                        <-- Name of BBS
Game                             <-- Sysop's first name
Master                           <-- Sysop's last name
C:\Path\Bulletin.clr             <-- Path & Filename to create COLOR bulletin
C:\Path\Bulletin.asc             <-- Path & Filename to create MONO bulletin
50                               <-- Number of spins per game


The path to color and mono bulletins can be any valid path and any
valid name that you want the top ten scores bulletins written to.




POKER.DAT contains:


This file contains the following user data:

"The Champion","01-19-1999"," 100"

Data has to be kept in this format, but you can delete all lines except for
line number 1 which is the Last Months Champ line. You can alter line 1 but
not remove it. You need to alter line 1's Date form 02-14-1991 to the month
that your setting up this door. For example if it is December just simply
change the Date to 12-01-1991. It doesn't matter if it's the 1st or the 10th,
only the Month (12) will make any difference.


POKER.TXT contains:

This is the instruction file for Poker Slots. When a user selects the
See Instructions option during the game, this file is read for
instructions. This file MUST BE PRESENT and Not altered in any way for
Poker Slots to run properly



                          List of Files In Archive

The following files are either found in your Poker.ZIP or will be
created during the runtime execution of the game.


POKER.EXE     <--- Executable Program.

POKER.DAT     <--- Store User's Name, Last Play Date & Score.

POKER.TXT     <--- Instructions Used By Program.

                                  Batch Files
                               =================

Since this door has been updated, the command line to run it is a lot more simple.

If you use a batch file, or if you can just enter the command line for the door
in your BBS software, the line is one of 2 ways.

poker                      < -- this will run it in local mode

poker c:\path\dropfile     < -- this runs it for your BBS



ie: poker c:\sbbs\node%#\door.sys    would be the line used with Synchronet



The supported drop files are:


dorinfo#.def
door.sys
info.bbs
callinfo.bbs
sfdoor.dat
chain.txt
pcboard.sys


Comports and standard modems are still supported.
