I dedicate this game to J&B's Video Game Store. Without there used games
for sale, I never would have bought this gem of a game for my brother all
those years ago.
Also, for Cougar. I miss you, and I hope you are living it up in the
afterlife as you did in this world. You will always be in my memories, and
you will never be forgotten.

------------------------------------Introduction----------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) This is a game about a youth (the "Casino Kid") entering the Golden
Crumbs Casino to challenge eight poker and eight blackjack opponents.
His goal is to get his winnings up to $1,000,000 from his meager start of
$500. If Casino Kid can do the near impossible, he will get to face-off
with a mystery opponent in a secret location in the ultimate showdown.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------Controls-------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) The controls to get you where and what you need.
D-Pad====> up, down, left, right all move you in the same direction pressed,
left and right picks chip for betting, up and down picks amount
of chip being betted.
A Button=> the A button is to talk to people, to enter commends.
B Button=> the B button cancels choices, also calls for new cards during
poker allows fold during poker. Also, allows player to turn down
playing an opponent (used to exit conversation).
SELECT===> select calls for password when wandering the casino, allows
player to ask for last hand/bet all money options when in play.
START====> start has no function once you enter the game.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------Winning Hands Ranking---------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
3) This section will list the hierarchy of winning hands for poker from
lowest hand rank to highest.
High Card========> Five different non-sequential, at least two different
suits, and no repeated cards. Usually not a good hand to
bet large amounts on, but risk it if you feel lucky.
One Pair=========> Having two cards the same, and three other different
cards. These are fairly common, so you or your opponent
can get these often.
Two Pair=========> Having two cards the same, as well as another two the
same, but different from the first pair. Also, a fifth
card that is different from the rest. A solid hand to
start betting a large amount of money to drain your
opponent, but be wary of betting too much.
Three of a Kind==> Having three cards the same, with two other different
cards. A very good chance of winning the hand with this,
but there are better combos to consider.
Straight=========> Having five sequential cards, that are made up of more
than one suit. Another solid hand to bet large amounts
of money on.
Flush============> Five non-sequential cards, all of the same suit. Hard to
get, but will win hands more often than not.
Full House=======> having three of a kind and a pair at the same time. Bet
lots of money because this one is very hard to lose on.
Four of a Kind===> Having all four of a card, and one other different card.
When you enter this range of good cards, rarely will you
see a better hand. This is a 98% of the time winner.
Straight Flush===> Five sequential same suited cards. Even better chances
of winning, so let us say a 99% of the time winner. Only
time these rules do not make a straight flush is when the
hand is a...
Royal Flush======> This near impossible hand to get is when the five
sequential same suit cards are: Ten, Jack, Queen, King,
Ace. This hand is a guaranteed winner (except if someone
else has a royal flush themselves). I have seen three of
these myself; twice in this game, and once in real life.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------Blackjack Strategies-------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
4) There are a few rules & thoughts to keep in mind when playing this very
challenging strategic game.
a) Keep in mind a dealer must stop hitting when they have 17 or higher.
This also means that they can not stop short of 17 either (16 or less
for the dealer means they must hit until they are 17 or higher).
b) Blackjacks pay 3 to 2, which means you get back what you bet, an equal
amount to that, plus an extra half of what you bet as a reward.
c) If there is a tie, no winner is awarded, and you get your money back.
This is called a "Push".
d) You can not go over 21, so you must decide what number you will stop
hitting (getting more cards) on. The general rule is to HIT until 14,
then a player must decide how lucky they feel, what they think their
opponent is holding, and what cards are gone (count what cards are gone
since they only shuffle every so often).
e) If you have two cards the same off of the deal, then you can choose the
SPLIT option. This will make you have two hands instead of one. This
means you can win double your money, but lose double your money. The key
to success is to pick the right hand to split. What makes a good split
hand you ask? Well, the following are all solid choices: two aces (the
best because it can give two blackjacks), two tens, jacks, queens, kings
(gets many twenties), and nine, eight for high scores with ten point
cards.
f) The DOUBLE DOWN is a big risk to take, but when done in the right
situation, can make for a lot of quick success. This can be done when
your card count off of the deal is 7 or higher. The dealer will tell you
if your double-down is accepted, and then you receive one card, and the
dealer can take as many cards (within the dealer rules) to try to beat
your hand. A very good strategy is to double when your card count is
from 9 to 11. This will yield a lot of 19,20, and 21 for you (win a lot)
and even 12 or 13 is quite good to go on (good chance of not busting).
g) If you want to try for a quick win, then use the bet all money strategy.
This can be done after the dealer has shuffled once, and then only part
way into the second set of deals. Usually it is better to have more
money than they do. It is a good way to gain a lot of money if you want
to risk all of your hard earned cash in one big gamble. This also
applies to poker, but they have to offer it first before you can ask them
for it. Many of your encounters will end in this fashion.

THE

OPPONENT
c) This will show the order I follow when I play this game is:
Lisa => Joseph => Martha => Stephen => Tom => Ted => Harry => Stephany
=> Lloyd => Whitney => Jack => Clyde => Bo => Pam => Cindy => Bruno
The reason I alter from the almost always tried and true method of
blackjack to poker and back method is because Lloyd has a large amount
of money with high bet ranges (he also possesses unreasonably good luck).
Extra money from quick blackjack victories (Harry and Stephany) allow the
extra cash flow needed to take him on (and his lucky hits will not hurt
you as much). The other spot that deviates form this is playing poker
players Pam and Cindy to leave Bruno for last. This is done because
Bruno is a tough opponent because of his high bankroll, so extra cash
helps to get the best of him. This means you get a couple bet all money
options to beat him. Also, it means it is the easiest way to get to the
final opponent since he has no password to get directly to him (ie the
last, mystery opponent).

-------------------------------The Final Opponent---------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
10)KING!!! After winning against the final person left in the casino, you
are magically whisked away to a large mansion, with scary music and
crashing thunder! If this is not corny enough, you must put up with
terrible music when you play him. You and King will both have
$1,000,000, and it is a test of pure Poker skills with the bet range
at a gigantic $10,000-$100,000!!!
King is a guy in a purple hooded robe that has a large black head
ornament with a spade and a large 'K'. All kidding aside, King bets
insane amounts of money at a time ($30,000-$60,000), and always seems to
get a slightly better hand than you. Play him the best you can, and
bet large on hands you think you can win. Also remember that King is not
possible to read, so figuring out what he has is just not possible.
He says things like: "You're Pretty Tough, Casino Kid!"
"I Won This Hand."
"Alright!!"
"I'm Fine."
"Wheew..."
"Hum..."
"Glad You Folded!"
"I Deceived You With My Poker Face!"
"MMM!"
"Now, You're The King Of The Casino!"
When he wins, he gets the Japanese cartoon eyes (upside down frowns).
When he loses, he gets all bug-eyed.
When he says I will bet all I have on the next deal, you get no
choice, he just does it. Sort of unfair, but you likely would have
accepted regardless!
When you win, you get to see the credits, and your award trophy (which is
a Golden Hand holding up a Gold King of Spades, surrounded by Gold
Laurels), and get treated to the credits. CONGRATULATIONS on winning the
game, and I hope you had loads of fun!!!
