Klondike Solitaire
In Klondike Solitaire, cards are dealt to the deck
3-at-a-time and the player can pass through the
deck indefinitely. Twenty (20) points are deduct-
ed for each pass through the deck after the
player has gone through the deck three (3)
times.
Vegas Solitaire
Vegas Solitaire follows the same rules as
Klondike Solitaire, but in this game you will
begin with 500 points. Points are accumulated
between consecutive games. Each time you
start a new game, you will lose 52 points (one
point for each card in the deck).
You will win 5 points each time you move a card
from a card stack or the deck to a suit stack.
You will lose 5 points each time you move a card
from the suit stack back down to a card stack.
You may only pass through the deck once, and
deck cards are turned over one (1) at a time.
MOVING THE CARDS
The object of Solitaire is to build four (4) Suit
Stacks – from Ace to King – with each stack
containing only the cards of a particular suit.
The player will accomplish this by drawing a
card from the deck and moving it to the card
stacks or suit stacks. Build the card stacks in
descending order, alternating solid and outlined
cards and move them to the suit stacks when
possible. Only the King may be moved to an
empty card stack.
NOTE: Solid cards are the black suits and out-
lined cards are the red suits.
Moving the cards is easy! First, press the button
corresponding to the card(s) you want to move
(Deck, Card Stack or Suits). The selected
card(s) will flash. When selecting a card in the
suit stacks, hold down the Suits button until the
desired card is flashing. Pressing the button
again will release the card. After selecting the
card(s) you want to move, press the button cor-
responding to the location where you want to
move them.
SLEEP MODE
Fliptop Solitaire will go to sleep after two (2) min-
utes of non-activity. To wake the game, press
the On•Deal•Draw button.
