INSTALLING BATTERIES
7-IN-1 ULTIMATE CASINO
Your 7-in-1 Ultimate Casino requires 2 AA batteries. Be sure to review “Battery Inform­ation” on page 18. Carefully turn the unit over so that the top side is face­down on a soft surface, such as a towel or mag­azine. You’ll find the battery compartment on the unit’s back. Use a small Phillips screwdriver to remove
the screw. Lift off the battery compartment lid. Install 3 AA batteries, making sure to match the polarity (+ and -) with the
diagram inside the bat­tery compartment. (See diagram at left.) Place the battery compartment lid’s tabs in their slots
and snap the compart­ment door back on. Replace the screw and gently tighten it.

BASIC BLACKJACK RULES
OBJECT
The object of Blackjack (21) is to beat the dealer by drawing cards that add up to 21, or as close to 21 as possible, without exceeding 21. The Ace is worth 11 points unless this amount pushes a hand over 21, in which case the Ace counts as 1. Face cards are worth 10 points. All other cards count their face value. You compete only against the dealer.
HOW TO PLAY
Just like a professional deal­er, 7-in-1 Ultimate Casino will deal you two cards and deal itself one. You must then decide whether to press STAND (to
• A hand of 5 cards not
exceeding 21 pays 1-to-2.
• A hand of three cards that
equal 7 pays 3-to-1.
• Whenever you win, you’ll hear the sound of the crowd cheering. hear it moan.
draw no more cards), or to press DEAL to take another card. Remember, if you go over 21, you automatically lose! When you’ve decided to stand, 7-in-1 Ultimate Casino finishes its hand.
If your final count is closer to 21 than the dealer’s count, while not exceeding 21, you win an amount equal to your bet, and get your betting money as well. If your count is the same as the dealer’s, it’s a tie (or push)—nobody wins, and you keep the money you’ve bet. If your hand is less than the dealer’s (and the dealer hasn’t gone over 21), you lose your bet.
When you lose, you’ll

PLAYING BACCARAT
OBJECT
Baccarat is a guessing game. Before each hand, you must guess whether your hand will be best, the dealer's hand will be best, or the hands will tie. The best hand is the hand that comes closest to nine in total points. If you correctly guess the best hand (yours or the deal­er's), you get paid double your bet amount. If you guess wrong, you lose your bet amount. If you guess that the hands will tie and you are cor­rect, the computer pays nine times your bet amount.
CALCULATING POINTS
Aces = one point.
2 through 9 = face value points. (a seven is seven points etc.)
10 & face cards = 0 points.
If the hand is 10 points or more, subtract 10 to get the value of the hand. For example: 7+6=13=3 and 4+6=10=0.

PLAYING BACCARAT
Two cards each are dealt to the player and the dealer (com­puter). Depending on the point total of the two cards, proceed as follows:
1. If the point total for either hand is 8 or 9, the hand is a "natural" and neither hand receives any more cards.
2. If the point total for either hand is 6 or 7, that hand stands and does not receive any more cards.
3. If the point total for either hand is 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, that hand receives a third card.
OPERATION
1. Turn on the 7-in-1 Ulti­mate Casino. Press the GAME key until “BACCARAT” is dis­played. Then press DEAL to con­firm. You will start out with 10,000 points. Max will tell you to “Place your bet” (Diagram

4. If you guessed the best hand (player's or dealer's) cor­rectly or if you correctly guessed the outcome would be a tie, Max will announce, “Player wins. Pay the man.”
PLAYING TEXAS HOLD EM
Texas Hold ‘Em is played against the dealer, Max. Five community cards and each player's hole cards are com­bined to make the best five card hand. The highest hand wins.
LIMITS
The limits set the amount of the bet in each round. During the first and second betting rounds, the lower limit is used. The upper limit is used in the third and fourth betting rounds. If the limit is “10-20,” $10 would be the bet amount in bet­ting rounds 1 and 2, and $20 would be the bet amount in bet­ting rounds 3 and 4.
Lights flash and bells ring as your total is incremented. If you won a lot, this will go on for a while. You can bypass the celebration if you want to by pressing the TAKE key.
5. If you guessed the game outcome incorrectly, Max says, “Dealer wins,” and you lose your bet.
