INTRODUCTION: Galactic Gambling is a PPE to run on PCBoard v. 15.2+ that will allow users to play 13 types of games to bet either time or points. Configurability is high to suit your Sysop needs (being a sysop myself, I know what is important!). An automatic DBase system for the custom settings and user points is handled without notice. A point bulletin (if played by points) is generated for the users to compete against each other with. Many other features will have your callers wanting to call back again and again.

Don't forget to edit your BRDM file and put the command to the PPE on there so your users know it that it exists. CONFIGURATION: NO .CFG FILES TO EDIT (Yeah!) When you first run Galactic Gambling be sure to login as the Sysop (sysop level). A default DBase will be built and default settings will be entered into it. To change them (and you will want to), you can use the (S)ysop Settings (only displayed when the sysop logs in). The following will explain each option: 1) Sysop Name: This should be obvious. If you want your BBS name to be displayed, you can enter here. No authorization is based on this field. 2) Serial Number: This is the serial number that will be received when you send in your registration. :) 3) Key Code #1: This is one of two Key Codes that will be received when you send in your registration. :) 4) Key Code #2: This is the second of two Key Codes that will be received when you send in your registration. :) 5) Points/Time: Either a "P" or "T". P=Points T=Time (minutes) 6) Max. User Time: This is a great feature that many other gambling doors/PPE's don't have. Here is where you set the maximum amount of time that you would like a user accumulate. E.g. a setting of 200 would allow a user up to 200 minute limit while playing. This setting only has effect if playing for time. 7) New User Pts.: Enter here of what you would like a new user (or one that ran out of points) entering the game. E.g. a setting of 500 would give a new user to Galactic Gambling 500 points to gamble with. This setting only has effect if playing for points. 8) User Delete Days: This is used to get rid of users that haven't played Galactic Gambling for a number of days. Enter the number of days that you would want to delete a user if he/she hasn't played for. 9) Save and Exit: To save the custom settings and exit. 10)..22) Cost: The cost per play for that particular type of game. Current Jackpot: This is the current jackpot that a user could win for that particular game. Refill Jackpot: When a user wins a jackpot, this is the amount that be put in the current jackpot. Max Jackpot: Enter what you would want the maximum jackpot to be for this game. Sysop Take%: To take a percentage of the jackpot win, enter the percentage (0 to 100). I really don't think that 100% would be fair. Do you? BULLETIN: Galactic Gambling also builds a point bulletin (if playing by points). It is called POINTBUL.MSG. Do as you please! REGISTRATION: I wanted the cost of registration to be UNDER $15.00, have on-line registration, and have a game that was worth at least $20.00. So, that's what I did. The registration fee for Galactic Gambling is $10.00 (foreign orders $15.00 U.S. Dollars). As soon as I get your check, I will place your serial code and Key codes as a message to you. You don't have to necessarily call The Epicenter BBS. Instead, I can send your codes to you over the Internet or FIDO! Nice huh? And you still have the choice of not doing it either way and doing it the "snail mail" way of mail. If you would like to register please fill out REGIST.FRM included in the .zip file and send along the registration price of $10.00! Why register? * To get access to play the three other games: a) Clam Chomp b) Jumpin' Jupiter c) Lottery * To get rid of the annoying flashing NOT REGISTERED on the opening screen. * To get rid of those annoying users wanting you to register so they can play the three other games! SUPPORT: Support will be given to all sysops regardless of whether they registered or not. However, the sysops who have the registered version will get service first. I can be reached by internet, FIDO, BBS, or by "snail mail". The addresses are all located at the beginning of this file. FUTURE: If registrations go well, then look for new gambling games that you may have suggested as well as other enhancements that may be desired.
