Announcing the availability of the latest AND LAST version of the extreamely popular freeware casino game NEXTVegas. NEXTVegas is a casino-simulation game with dynamically loading game modules including Blackjack and Craps.
NEXTVegas comes with six game modules (Baccarat, Blackjack, Craps, Klondike, Red Dog, and Video Poker). Hopefully, there will be more modules available in the future...
NEXTVegas is available by anonymous ftp at:
ftp://wendy.ucsd.edu/pub/Mark/NEXTVegas.3.12.NI.tar.gz
ftp://wendy.ucsd.edu/pub/Mark/NEXTVegas.3.12.README
And should also be available at:
ftp://next-ftp.peak.org/pub/next/submissions/NEXTVegas.3.12.NI.tar.gz
ftp://next-ftp.peak.org/pub/next/submissions/NEXTVegas.3.12.README
And later...

NEXTVegas requires NEXTSTEP version 3.0 or later and is compiled for both Motorola and Intel hardware. It seems to run fine on Openstep 4.1 (Motorola) as well. This is a binary only release -- people who are interested in writting modules and who need access to the source code should write me.
PLEASE NOTE: This will be the last NEXTSTEP version of NEXTVegas. I have recently upgraded to Openstep, and so can no longer compile for NEXTSTEP (why is that, anyway?). Hopefully, I'll have an Openstep version out soon!
Please check out the game and let me know what you think. Any and all feedback is appreciated!

* Table images for modules have been darkened a little.

for some unknown reason it wasn't when it shipped. I have a turbo

* Variable Chip Well allows players to set a default amount for repetivie
bets.
