Here is the computer version of the card game featured in a well known TV programme. Each player starts with £150 and eleven cards are dealt out face down. The first is turned over and a bet is requested. The bet can be anything up to the player's total holding. When the bet has been placed, ‘higher' or ‘lower' will be requested. If this is correct then the bet is paid evens. If the guess is wrong or the card is the same value then the stake for that card is lost. This then continues until all the cards have been turned and a new game can then be played. The ‘High Score' subroutine should be merged with this program to provide another competitive dimension or simply to record how well you perform from one game to the next. Since this game shares many lines with the Pontoon listing, these have not been re-listed. To complete entry of the game the ‘Card Core' should be loaded first and then the additional lines for Hi-Lo can be entered. The ‘Card Core' is also required for the next game, so do not rub over it!
