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

                           FINAL

                          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).

8) This section will tell how much money an opponent has, the bet range,
  what game they play, Their speech patterns, their face mannerisms, what
  they say outside of playing, and what people in the casino know of there
  weaknesses.  For convenience, I will do it in the order I played the
  opponents in.


a) Name...............: Lisa
  Game...............: Blackjack
  Money..............: $500
  Bet Range..........: $10-$100
  Pre-Game Talk......: "Alright!"
  Post-Game Talk.....: "Not Anymore!"
  Speech Patterns....: "I'm Good, Ain't I?"
  Facial Expressions.: Wins => moon eyes, and huge smile,
                       Loses => squiggly mouth, and large, calf eyes.
  The Gambler Lowdown: None.


b) Name...............: Joseph
  Game...............: Poker
  Money..............: $1,000
  Bet Range..........: $10-$100
  Pre-Game Talk......: "Be Ready, Kiddo."
  Post-Game Talk.....: "No More Insult From You, Kiddo!"
  Speech Patterns....: Says "Kiddo" a lot.  Also, if he celebrates, he has
                       a good hand, if he is says "Ow" or "What Is This
                       Hand!?" then he probably only has high card
  Facial Expressions.: Wins => moon eyes, and big open mouthed look
                       Loses => bug-eyed, and open mouth

                       Loses => bug-eyed, and open-mouthed
  The Gambler Lowdown: Martha's Face Is Pretty Readable. (this is not
                       relevant because blackjack players never clue you
                       to what they have because of the randomness of the
                       cards).


d) Name...............: Stephen
  Game...............: Poker
  Money..............: $2,000
  Bet Range..........: $20-$200
  Pre-Game Talk......: "Let's Play After You Beat Joseph!"
                       "Well, Fine With Me!"
  Post-Game Talk.....: "I Don't Want To Play With You, You Know!?"
  Speech Patterns....: Has no definitive phrase, but what he says is
                       how his cards are going.  Good = good, bad = bad

  Bet Range..........: $30-$300
  Pre-Game Talk......: "Later, Man!"
                       "Stephen Wants To Play With Ya Before Me!"
                       "Fine!"
  Post-Game Talk.....: "Get Off My Face, Man!"
  Speech Patterns....: Says "Man" a lot, and he always show opposite of
                       his feelings, so celebrating means he has no
                       good cards, complaining means he has something
                       good.
  Facial Expressions.: Wins => moon eye, and big smirk.
                       Loses => large eyes, and gaping mouth
  The Gambler Lowdown: Ted Shows Opposite Feeling On His Face!

-------------------------------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!!!
