    CasinoTAG is a gambling door for use with TAG BBS Systems allowing you
,the user, to gamble your online time and Download credits. There are three
games, BlackJack, NumberGuess, and High-Low. Each game gives you double your
gambling amount in the event of a win.

    BlackJack is just what it says. The goal is to have the total value of
your cards as close as possible to 21, without going over. Winning occurs
when :
  1. The player has a total of 21, and the dealer's total is not 21.
  2. The player's total is less than 21 and greater than the dealer's total.
  3. The player has accumulated 5 cards, and the value is less than 21.
  4. The dealer reaches a total greater than 21.
Losing occurs when :
  1. The dealer's total is 21.
  2. Dealer's total is equal to player's total.
  3. The player reaches a total greater than 21.
When the card's value is either a 10,Jack,Queen, or King, it is represented
by the letter "F" (Face Card) and is given the value of 10. When the card's
value is an ACE, it is given the value of 1, except when coupled with a face
card, giving it a value of 11, meaning BlackJack.

    NumberGuess involves trying to guess a number from 1 to 1000. The player
is given 9 tries in order to do so. After each guess a message will be
displayed telling if the guess was too high or too low, or if the guess was
correct.

    High/Low is a simple game. The player is given a random number from 1 to
50, then prompted with a "[H]igh/[L]ow" input. If "H" is selected, and the
unknown number is greater than the given number, the player wins, but if
he/she guesses incorrectly, the player loses. The same reasoning applies
to "L".
