Welcome to T&J Software's Video Poker! (CUSTOM MODE)

   Video Poker is setup to duplicate the standard video poker type of
   machine which are found in various locations.

   Basically, you enter your bet by pressing the E or - key, and
   then type in your bet.  The next round if you choose to enter the
   same bet, you may enter the S or + key for automatic entry of your
   last bet.  After selecting the same bet as last time or entering
   a new bet, the first set of five cards appear. You then select the
   cards you wish to keep by selecting the card number (from 1 to 5).
   A yellow 'KEEP' will flash below your choosen cards.  You then select
   'D' or simply hit the ENTER key for your second draw of cards.

   A small status display in the upper right portion of then main
   screen tells you your current hand status by placing a blinking
   check mark inside the brackets.

   On the very top of the screen, you'll see how your SysOp has the
   game configured for payoffs. Let's say it says "You need JACKS or
   better." That means the game will not payoff unless you have at
   least a pair of JACKS. Anything less than that will not payoff.

   This door resets every monday during the BBS maintenance. So, if
   you're running behind bet it all on Sunday evenings! You never
   know, you may catch up or surpass the leader!

   One exception to this is if your sysop selects a custom reset
   date!! The date of reset will always be shown to you when you
   enter the door!

   Each new bet starts the turn with a new deck of cards.

   The status of the payoffs can be viewed by pressing the 'P' key.
   This will show you the payoff versus what card combinations you
   have. On the right, it shows what combinations had already come up.

   The game also keeps track of the all time high score and last weeks
   high score. These can be viewed by pressing the 'V' key.

   In case you get some line garbage, you can always press the 'R' key
   to quickly redraw the current screen.

   Want to view the top ten players? Just tap the 'T' key and you'll
   be presented with the current top ten. As you play, check this and
   watch your name crawl up the list!

   When you're ready to quit the game, just hit the 'Q' key and the
   game will generate the current top ten list and the bulletins.

   If you run out of money, you're finished until monday when the door
   resets. So watch how much you bet!

   This door also has a BONUS feature which your sysop may or may not
   choose to use. Basically, a certain amount of money is placed in
   the jackpot each time you play a hand of poker. The best hand of
   the day will receive this jackpot money tomorrow! Be sure to logon
   and claim the money, or you lose it!

   High hand numbers are determined like this:

         Royal Flush           =  100,000 points
         Straight Flush        =  50,000
         Four of a Kind        =  25,000
         Full House            =  12,500
         Flush                 =  10,000
         Straight              =  7,500
         Three of a Kind       =  5,000
         Two Pair              =  2,500
         One Pair              =  1,000

   In addition to these points, you then add the card values
   themselves. A two = 2 points and so on up to an Ace = 14 points.
   So, if you draw a Full House with 2-Fours and 3-Aces, your hand
   value would be 12,550. Somebody would have to beat your 12,550
   point hand to claim the jackpot tomorrow! You'll be told when you
   quit the game if you have the high hand thus far!

   That's about it, if you have any comments of suggestions for the
   door please get in touch with us!
