===== Playing the game =====
(This is taken from the HELP Menu -> How to Play.. of LowRiders Card) 

1.  When Host says *** Starting New Game *** click on Register Card 1, Register Card 2 etc... depending on how many cards the Host will allow per game with a maximum of 10 cards. Go to View Menu for more cards.

2.  When Host announces which Bingo Game or Jackpot Game, click on (Select Game) bar arrow for Bingo Game or click (None) bar arrow for Jackpot Game. One click will place game automatically or you can select which Bingo Game or Jackpot Game manually.

3.  When Host is ready to call numbers, click the Activate Auto button. The button will turn blue and show Auto On. The registered cards will start marking red squares as the numbers are called. When there is a Bingo or Jackpot called the squares will turn blue to show the Bingo or Jackpot on your cards. The Activate Auto button will turn off automatically if you called a Bingo or Jackpot. If the Host continues the same round, you will need to turn Auto On again.

4.  If the round ended and Host is ready to start a new round, then click Cards in the Menu and Clear/Reset your cards. You are ready to register your cards again to start a new round game.

5.  Helpful Notes:  To turn off a Jackpot game after someone wins the Jackpot, right-click the Jackpot Game bar arrow to set automatically back to (None) or you can set back to (None) manually to turn off Jackpot.
