Operational desc r i p tion
Right after the batteries are installed, the system goes into the DEMO mode. The pre-set game is BLACK JACK. By pressing the START key, the game begins. And the money to gamble with amounts to 2000 units. How­ever, if activity has bee n suspen ded for more than 2 minutes, power is automatically turned off. To turn on the power, press the
ON/OFF key. The player can continue play­ing. The mode remains the same as that be­fore turning off the power. In other words, if the power is turned off in the DEMO mode, this mode is on the scree n when the power is turned on again.
The betting strategies are in the following: First, the money to gamble with is displayed and the symbol $ flashes on the screen. Then, by pressing BET_U (KEY5) or BET_D (KEY4), the previous bets are shown. The bet is incremented by 1 when the BET_U (KEY5) key is subsequently pressed. On the other hand, the bet is decrem ented by 1 when the BET_D (KEY4) is subsequently pressed. After the bets have been made, press the DEAL key to start dealing the cards. However, if the player fails to press the BET_U or BET_D key, pressing the DEAL key restores the bet to the previous one. The bet is pre-set to 1 if it is the first time the bet is laid.
BLACK JACK
Black Jack is one of the most common games in casinos. The rules for this game are quite easy. The player wins when his/her total score is greater than the dealer’s. However, the player loses the game when his/her total score is over 21.
The values of the cards 2 to 10 are scored according to their corresponding face val­ues. As for the cards J, Q, K, their values are all scored as 10. The value of the card ACE can be scored either as 1 or 11 depending on the player’s preference.
After the bets are made, the dealer and player are dealt with 2 cards each on the first deal. The dealer’s first card is covered. So, the player can only see the de aler’s sec­ond card. The following explains two condi­tions which may then appear:
INSURANCE
When the dealer’s second card is an ACE, it is quite possible that the dealer will win Black Jack. In this case, the player may pay the equivalent of his/her present bet to buy insurance. The dealer, if he wins Black Jack, will refund all the b ets to th e
3 25th Nov ’98
HT113SA
player. If not, the dealer will confiscate the insurance. And the game continues.
DOUBLE
When the total val ue of the player ’s two cards sum up to 11, (s)he may lay the bet on one-more-card-dealt-only . However , the player needs to double his/her present bet. Such a bet is for the player ’s sake, since (s)he is quite likely to get the full score of 21 and win the Black Jack game by hold­ing a score of 11. As long as the total value of his/her three cards is greater than that of the dealer ’s, the player wins the game and gains the bet two time s larger than his/hers.
When one or possibly two of the above con­ditions take place, the exact symbol, namely INSURANCE or DOUBLE, will flash. At this time, the player has the choice of one or none of these conditions. However, the player is not advised to bet if his/her money to gamble with is not sufficient for that bet.
If there is no special case, pressing the DEAL key deals the cards. Ho wever, when the STAND (KEY4) key is pressed, no more cards can be dealt. The dealer can then deal additional cards to himself. The rules are quite easy. The dealer is required to deal himself another card if the sum o f his cur­rent cards is less tha n 17. Othe rwis e, if the sum is 17 or greater, he is not required to deal himself any more cards.
The various be tting rates of loss are listed in the following:
BLACK JACK (a score of 21 for two
cards)........2
A score of less than 21 for 5 cards..............1
the player’s score is greater than the
dealer’s........1
POKER (SHOW HAND)
After the bets have been ma de, five cards are dealt by pressing the DEAL key. At this time, DRAW or HOLD flashes. Below each card is a HOLD symbol. The player may keep the desired card s by pressing the ap­propriate number of keys up to five keys.
When the cards are highlighted, it indicates that these cards are to be reserved for bet­ting. Otherwise, cards are to b e re-dea lt by pressing the DEAL key. On the basis of the five cards, the betting rates for l osing are calculated in the following ways:
pair (jacks or better) 1 times the number of units betted
two pairs 2 times the number of units betted
three of a kind 3 times the number of units betted
straight 5 times the number of units betted
flush 8 times the number of units betted
full house 35 times the number of units betted
four of a kind 100 times the number of units betted
straight flush 500 times the number of units betted
royal flush 1000 times the number of units betted
BACCARAT This game is an ancient card game that origi-
nates from Europe. Baccarat consists of three ways of betting, namely DE ALER, PLAYER, and TIE. However, only one of the three bet­ting ways can be selected at a time . After the bets have been made, four cards are dealt. The first and third cards are dealt to the player whereas the seco nd and fourth cards to the dealer. The aim of this game is to make the total value of the two card s sum up to 9 or as near as possibl e to 9. The value of the card ACE is scored as 1. The values of the cards 2-9 are scored according to their corresponding face values. As for the cards 10, J, Q, and K, their values ar e all s cored as 0. No more cards can be dealt when the sum of the two cards is 8 or 9, which is called NATURAL. However, a third card can be dealt if necessa ry. The rule for the order of card-dealing is always the
4 25th Nov ’98
HT113SA
player first. The following explains the rules for dealing the third card:
Player
1-2-3-4-5-0 the third card is dealt
6,7 no cards are to be dealt
8-9 NATURAL
Dealer
When the player holds two cards only, the third card is dealt to the dealer when the sum of his two cards is 0~5, and the sum of the player’s is 6 or 7. However, no more cards are dealt to the dealer when the total value of his/her two cards is 6~9.
When the player holds three cards, no more cards are dealt to the dealer when the sum of his two cards is 6, 7 or 8. Otherwise, the third card can be dealt to the dealer. W in or lose is decided by the total value of the cards held. The winner ’s score is the on e nearest
9. As for the betti ng rate of losing, it is 1 times the number of the units betted (i.e., 1 x (Number of Units)). If the scores of the dealer’s and player’s are the same, it is ca lled a "TI E". At this time , the one who b ets o n T IE is th e wi nn er. The betting rate of losing is 8 times the numb er of units betted. When selecting the way to bet on, the screen displays the following: When DEALER is betted on, BANK is shown. When TIE is betted on, PUSH is shown. When PLAYER is betted on, PLA Y is shown.
DEUCES
After the bets have been ma de, five cards are dealt by pressing the DE AL key. Belo w each card is a HOLD symbol. The player may keep the desired cards by p r essing the appropriate number of keys up to five keys. When the cards are highlighted, it indicates that these cards are to be reserved for bet­ting. Otherwise, cards are to b e re-dea lt by pressing the DEAL ke y. When the value of one of the cards is 2, that “2” can be any number ranging from a~k depending on the player’s preference, and then on the basis of the five cards, the rates for winning and losing are calculated in the following ways:
three of a kind 2 times the number of units betted
straight 4 times the number of units betted
flush 6 times the number of units betted
full house 10 times the number of units betted
4 of a kind 10 times the number of units betted
straight flush 20 times the number of units betted
5 of a kind 50 times the number of units betted
royal flush w/2’s 100 times the number of units betted
4 deuces 500 times the number of units betted
royal flush 1000 times the number of units betted
