First I want to tell that this game isn't ready yet. The only is that it
works, but it's not ready yet. I'm working on it, I want to introduce a
lot of new features in the future, such as other pictures for the slots,
menu's, pixmaps on the buttons (maybe), add things from the gnome interface,
etc etc...).

Installing/Compiling gSlots
--=======================--

Installing is easy, just unpack the tarball. Don't remove the pix directory,
the pix directory contains (nearly) all pictures gSlots uses. If you've
unpacked the tarball, compile it. Just give a 'make' command.

NOTE:	gtk-config must be present in your path!

If make was succesful, just start gslots and play!

(no automake/autoconfigure stuff at the moment. I think I'm going to use it
in some later versions.)

Requirements:
--=========--

- Linux 2.0.32 or higher
- GLIB/GTK+ 1.2.0 or higher
- X-libs
- libc 6

I'll give a short description of the buttons:

Quit			- quits the program
About			- Shows a nice about window
Payoff Chart		- brings up the payoff chart. This chart
			shows how many bucks you'll get for a
			winning combination.
Bet More		- Increases the wager with $0.25
Bet Max			- Sets the wager the to maximum allowed
			value, $10.00
Spin!			- Spins the slots
