You can influence the way the roulette game bahaves, ie. the kind of animations played, the exact behaviour of dragging, or the way drop positions are highlighted. These are your options:
Effect options:
Animation Wether an animation of the roulette wheel is shown.
Sound Wether sound efects are played.
Midi Wether background music shall be played.
Drag mode:
Chips are dragged from their current position, and dropped at their destination position. You „grab“ chips at the highlighted field on the ground (on the roulette table). For a high pile of chips this may be counter-intuitive as you may not grab chips where they appear. However, it gives you precise control of from where exactly, and to where exactly, you are dragging! You may drop at any highlighted field.
Traditional You press the mouse, and keep the mouse button pressed while you move the mouse. When you release the button, the chip is dropped. (Except if dropping is impossible at that point: then you have to click it to another position in order to really drop!)
Auto Drag Enable this option as soon as possible! It avoids the need for constantly keeping the mouse button pressed while dragging.
Auto Drag & Drop The option for advanced players. You will be able to automatically drop the next chip without the need to first grab it. In order to exit such an „auto drop“ sequence:
Drop the last chip of the sequence with the right mouse button, or
drop the chip where the first in the sequence came from originally (drop it back).
You may always also drag chips you have already placed as bets, either to other positions, or back to your stock.
Highlighting:
Drop (and also possible drag points) are normally highlighted. This gives you invaluable feedback of the exact operation you are currently engaged into. It is not possible to drop on a field which is not highlighted (with highlighting enabled at all), or to drag from a field which does not highlight if the mouse is over it. The drop highlighting normally represents the fields which would win with the corresponding bet, not just the field itself. This adds extra feedback about the kind of bet you are making.
Outline A surrounding border of highlighted fields is drawn.
Flash This looks prettier but is also slower: the fields are really „highlighted“, they become brighter. On slow machines, or with low memory, do not use this option. Try this option: if your game does not run out of memory after a while, you can use it, and speed will pretty much increase while you play.
Off Oh well, we felt some would like this option. Real casino tables don't highlight either? Logically, the associated sound effect is turned off as well.
Screen mode:
Screen mode controls the screen resolution which to run the casino hall part of the game at.
-
Window The normal (default) mode using a plain window.
-
Fullscreen Fullscreen mode is required for full gambling experience. You will see the roulette hall at optimum screen resolution, preferably 640x480 pixels and a refresh rate very close to your current one. Screen resolution is only altered temporarily while you are at the roulette hall. This option requires Windows and JDK 1.4 or higher to work - and may be unstable on some graphics cards.
