		+	Occasionally, you may roll more than one Yahtzee in a game. If so, and if you already have 50 points in the Yahtzee category, the computer automatically adds 100 points to your "Yahtzee" total. Then, if you have not already done so, you must also enter the total of the five die in the category corresponding to the die value in the first column. If you have already entered points in that category. you can enter points as Three of a Kind, Four of a Kind, Full House. Small Straight, Large Straight, or Chance in the second column.
