Strip Bandit

Strip Bandit Copyright 1995 By Eric Hustvedt, All rights reserved. What is it and how do I use it? Strip Bandit is a Control Strip Module which places a slot machine game in the Control Strip. The rules are straightforward, to play simply click on Strip Bandit's tile, you will be charged 1 point per play, and your winnings depend upon the outcome of the play (standard slot machine procedure). To install Strip Bandit place it in the Control Strip Modules folder inside the System Folder and restart your Mac. To change various preferences that Strip Bandit uses, hold down the command key while clicking on Strip Bandit's tile and a menu will popup. Menu Items: Minimize/Maximize Display: Shrinks/Expands Strip Bandit's tile so that it takes up less screen space when it is not needed. Reset game: Resets the point value to 100 points. Save game: Saves the current point value (in case of a crash...) Sound On/Off: Turns sound on or off. Count Off Score: If selected the score display counts off each digit as it's added to the score. Show point values...: Displays a diagram of all the winning combonations and what they are worth. Who created it and how do I contact them?

My standard shareware fee is $1, but since this piece of software has no real use, except to suck up screen space, free time and not-so-free time, that is sort of like how a politician operates; charge so much for so little. Send whatever you feel you want to give me (that includes job offers, computers, anything that won't directly harm me or you). Warranty? There is none. This software is provided as is. I, as the author, am not liable for any damage this may cause to you or your computer, either directly or indirectly. Distribution? Please feel free to distribute Strip Bandit, provided you include this file with the distribution. For distribution on CD-ROMs, books, and such I would appreciate a complementary copy of the final product. Finally, for-profit distributors of shareware (e.g. Educorp) and the Microsoft Network are explicitly prohibited from distributing Strip Bandit.
