2.1 Customization

Most add-on modules from Logicom are customizable to give your system a unique
look and feel according to your specific tastes.  Use the options on the
Introductory Menu to access these features.  Here is a brief explanation of some
of the more important customizable features:

SURCHG    [default: 0]

    You can charge additional credits for time spent in The Casino by
    setting this value to a number other than zero.  The amount of credits
    you specify will be deducted, in addition to any current online connect
    charges, each minute the user spends in the Casino.

    If the number you specify is negative then instead of subtracting
    credits each minute, credits are ADDED to the user's account!

SCHSTG    [default: ($)]

    If you've set a surcharge for playing the game, and the surcharge is
    currently in effect, this text will appear just after the "play" option
    on the game menu.

CSTPCH    [default: 25]

    If this value is set to a number greater than zero then users will be
    able to buy Casino chips with credits and can then exchange the chips
    for credits upon leaving the Casino.

    Set this value to zero (0) if you do not want players to be able to
    exchange chips for credits and visa-versa.

LOGXCH    [default: YES]

    This option allows you to keep a record of all chips purchased with
    credits and all chips exchanged for credits in the audit trail.  Set
    this to YES if you want to track these exchanges.

LOGWLS    [default: YES]

    This setting allows you to keep track of how the "house" is doing in
    respect to credits won or lost in the Casino.  Set this option to YES if
    you want the Casino to report the house credit status to the Audit Trail
    each time the system is shut down.

    NOTE:  This status report will only be generated if you allow players to
    purchase chips with credits.

NUMFCH    [default: 100]

    This is the number of chips that will be handed out to players as they
    enter the Casino.  Players may use these chips to play with at the
    tables.  However, they may not exchange these FREE chips for credits,
    nor may they play at a table where BOUGHT chips are being played with.
    (See CSTPCH).

MAXLOS    [default: 10000]

    You can limit the number of chips that artificial players can lose in
    one day.  If the number of chips lost by artificial players exceeds this
    value then they will no longer sit or play at the tables for the
    remainder of the day.  Set this value to zero (0) if you do not want to
    place a limit on the number of chips lost by the house.

ARTPFR    [default: NO]

    This setting controls whether or not you want artificial players to sit
    and play at tables where real chips (those bought with credits) are
    being used.

NUMTBL    [default: 6]

    This value determines the number of tables that will exist in the
    Casino.  Keep in mind that each table requires about 175 bytes of
    memory.

BLJTBL    [default: 5]

    You can set up a number of "Blackjack" tables by indicating the starting
    table number here.  This table number, along with all higher numbered
    tables will be reserved for playing Blackjack only.

MAXPPT    [default: 5]

    This value controls the number of players that are allowed to sit at
    each table.  The most you can have at any table is 6.

MAXANT    [default: 10]

    This is the most number of chips that a dealer can ante at the start of
    a poker game.  Set this value to zero (0) if you don't want a limit.

MAXBET    [default: 50]

    This is the most number of chips that can be bet or raised at one time
    by any player.  Set this value to zero (0) for no limit.

BETLFL    [default: NO]

    You can allow unlimited betting at tables where no artificial players
    are present by setting this option to YES.

RASLMT    [default: 3]

    This is the most number of times a bet can be raised during a round of
    betting.  Set this value to zero (0) for unlimited raises.

RSPTIM    [default: 45]

    This value controls the amount of time the system will wait for a
    response from players.  If the player fails to respond within this time
    period a default reponse will be assumed.  This keeps the slow pokes
    from holding up the game!

    Set this value to zero for unlimited time.

APRSPT    [default: 3]

    To add realism to the artificial players, you can set a delayed response
    time by changing this value.

PMTCHR    [default: >]

    The character you enter here will become the prompt when in the Casino.

AFPNxx

    Type in the name you wish to give this artificial player.  The name
    should not contain any characters other than upper or lower case
    letters, and spaces.

AFPGxx

    Certain messages pertaining to the artificial player may need to know
    whether the name is a male or female name.  Select M for male, or F for
    female.

AFPSxx

    This setting determines how well the artificial player will play.  A
    higher value will increase the intelligence level.  You can set the
    skill level to any number between 0 and 9.


3.0 About Blackjack Tables

Using the configuration setting BLJTBL you can set up any number of
Blackjack tables in the Casino.  Only Blackjack games may be played at these
tables, and only computerized dealers may deal Blackjack games.


4.0 Special Sysop Command

The Sysop user may check the ratio of chips either won or lost in the Casino
with the STATUS command.  You can check the status at any time while in the
Casino.
