Computer Kinetics Corporation
has recently announced another
game , called In Between , into its
expanding line of counter top
machines .
In Between is a game that is similar
to the popular game variously
referred to as Acey Ducey, Red Dog,
Between the Sheets, and In Be-
tween . It can be played by one to
four players . The machine's compu-
ter randomly selects two numbers
between 0 and 9. The player(s} must
then wisely make a bet based on the
spread of these two numbers and the
front panel odds table . The machine
then selects a third number that must
be between the other two computer
selected numbers in order for the
player to win . Each player's score is
calculated and stored by the game .
In Between comes in the same size
cabinet as the company's Vega 21
and ChooZ games , measuring 17
inches wide by 17 inches high by 9112
inches high . A built in security
fastener , which attaches to the
machines internal steel frame, allows
the unit to be chained on location .
The game's "Super Plasma Dis-
play" and lighted keyboard switches
tell the players what is happening at
any given time while the game is
being played . A small, attractive light
is featured on the front panel
facilitating reading the instructions in
dimly lit areas, (ie. bars, hotels , etc.} .
