Getting Started
To play this game, you must first have a Nintendo Game Boy Color.
•
Set-up your Game Boy Color according to the Game Boy Color instruction Booklet.
•
Make sure the power to your Game Boy Color is turned off before inserting or removing any Game Pak.
•
Insert the Vegas Games® Game Pak into the slot in the back of your Game Boy Color (label side out) until it clicks into place.
Menus and Modes
Casino Entrance Screen
The first screen takes you inside the casino where you have the run of the floor and $5,000 to spend! In addition to the games, there are several options available before beginning play.
Use the + Control Pad to navigate through the casino and menu screens, and use START or the A Button to select a game or an option. The different games and menu names will appear at the bottom of the screen.
Player Menu
Selecting this option lets you add or remove players.
•
ADD PLAYER – Takes you to the Name Entry Screen where you can add players.
•
EXIT – Takes you back to the casino.
Statistics Screen
This screen shows how much money each player has won or lost at each game in the casino. Your statistics are cleared when you turn off your Game Boy Color.
Single Player Mode
Vegas Games starts off in Single Player Mode with a $5000 bankroll. You begin the game in the lobby of the Vegas Games casino, home to one of the greatest gambling arenas of all time! From here you can choose from nine classic casino games.
Once you have selected the type of game you want to play (using START or the A Button), you can select from multiple variations of the game (i.e. different Slot Machines). If you wish, you can play your game of choice until you run out of money.
To move on to another game, however, press START to return to the Casino Lobby and select another game. Keep in mind, in some games if you leave before finishing the game with money bet you will lose that bet.
Multi-Player Mode
Vegas Games does not require the use of a Game Link® cable for multiple players - all players play on the same Game Boy Color. Add additional players by entering the Player Menu.
Up to four players may play together in the Vegas Games casino. Each player enters a different name. Multiple players have access to Blackjack, Roulette and Baccarat. (As in real casinos, there can be no more than one player per Video or Slot machine.)
Games will advance just as in Single Player Mode, with the exception that once one player is finished betting, the Game Boy Color must be passed to the next player in line. Each player selects READY to finish betting. Play continues after the last player selects READY.
In games such as Blackjack, where players have the option to take more cards, each player again takes turns until all players are finished. (Games without intermediate steps will simply have a result and payout for all players simultaneously.)
Game Descriptions
Craps
A long-time favorite in Las Vegas, no casino would be complete without Craps. In Vegas Games, this classic game of dice plays just like it does in other casinos - you place the bet that satisfies the odds you want to play, and roll the dice. (The rest is up to Lady Luck.)
With all of the possible ways of betting in Craps, it might be best if you just go out and bet conservatively until you figure it out, but here's a few pointers...
•
To place a bet, move the cursor to the desired box and press the A Button to place a chip down (each time you press the A Button), your wager will increase according to the amount of your QUICK BET.
•
As in other casinos, a bet can be placed before each roll of the dice!
Your best odds at the Craps table are on the Pass Line, Come Bar, Don't Pass Bar and Don't Come Bar.
•
In the Pass Line, you bet that whatever number you roll on your first roll will come up again before a 7 is rolled. (If you roll a 7 or 11, you automatically win on the first roll and if you roll a 2, 3 or 12, you automatically lose.)
•
The Come Box is the same as the Pass Line, except that you place the bet before the number rolled for the Pass Line has come up again. You essentially pick a roll to start on and whatever number is rolled, you bet that it will come up again before a 7 is rolled.
•
The opposite is true for the Don't Pass Bar and the Don't Come Bar. If you bet on Don't Pass, you are betting against the first number rolled - betting that a 7 will be rolled before that number is rolled again (or that the first roll will be a 2 or a 3. A roll of 12 ties, and 7 or 11 loses).
•
Of course if you have a favorite number (as long as it's 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10), bet on it in the Place Boxes, these are the next best odds. Again, you are betting that your number will come up before a 7 does.
•
Conversely, if you have a least favorite number - or if 7 is your favorite - you can place a lay bet above any of the 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10 as well (thus betting that a 7 will be rolled before whichever number you're betting against).
