Easy properties:
----------------
Extort some properties (it will not matter if they want to pay you the money). 
After that week, look on the map and double click on the property that was 
extorted. A picture of the owner will appear with details about the shop. 
Move the cursor next to the picture in the "blank space" and the cursor will 
change. Click when this happens and the property will become yours. Do not 
forget to send a man to run the place the following week.

More Business:
--------------
Go to regedit in the start menu, go to local_machine, software, 
hothouse, gangsters, then go to default_territory and set it to 
500 and now you will start out with around  21 to anywhere around 34

Free Business:
--------------
In the Gang Organizer, go to the city maps. Bring up the info 
on any business and let the mouse hover around over the box 
until a little 'Return to base' tip appears.  Click there and 
tada, the business is yours.  If you want, you can sell it on 
the spot and the cash will go directly into your assets.  
Or you can wait until next week when you can send someone 
to run the business.

Registry Cheat:
---------------
Always back up your registry before doing these type of cheats. 
If are are not familiar with the registry do not attempt this cheat

1. Click "Start"
2. Choose the "Run" option.
3. Type regedit and press enter.
4. Navigate through the following:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" => "SOFTWARE" => "HOTHOUSE" => "GANGSTERS"

Free items:
-----------
Go to the Lieutenant's page of the Gang Organizer, open the Cars menu, and go 
to the "Black Market". Instead of clicking on the car you want and waiting for 
the money clip to appear, quickly drag the car of your choice from the "Black 
Market" page to the picture of it on the Lieutenant's side. If this was done 
fast enough, the item will be yours, with no money being subtracted. This can 
also be done with guns, but does not work with recruited hoods. 
Note: Try this first without having enough money for the object, as it takes 
some practice. After each time this trick is used (whether successful or not), 
exit the "Black Market" and return.

50,000 extra dollars to buy stuff:
----------------------------------
Go to Leutenants and type "I LOVE HANSON"as fast as you can 
(Don't worry about the screen swiching while typeing it in)
then go to weaponds or cars,wich ever you want to buy, and 
go to black market.Then click on the item and it will say how 
much it is and how much you have and you should have 50,000 
bucks writin in red below the price of the item. 

GameTips:
---------
Get the gymnasiums, pool halls, and especially the 
docks under your control as quickly as possible. 
The best way to beat rival families is to deny them 
places where they can recruit "muscle." 

Bribe early and often. Start with the Mayor as 
soon as you can afford it, then go after the Chief 
of Police. 

Recruit an Accountant and a Lawyer as soon as 
possible. The Accountant will be needed for tax evasion, 
and you'll probably need a Lawyer sooner than you'd like.

Defeating opposing gangs faster: 
--------------------------------
To kill opposing gangs faster, torch their headquarters. This is much faster than 
bombing them. Torching kills the leader in one shot instead of twice when bombing. 
This may be difficult if it is enclosed by other buildings. If the headquarters is 
enclosed, make sure you send in more than one group of hoods to torch it. Killing 
most of the opposing gang's hoods will also weaken their headquarters' defense.

Quickly find enemy hideouts:
----------------------------
Pause game play at the beginning of the week and look for cars parked at treatment 
blocks. There will only be a few and will save time. Mark down where you found the 
car parked at the treatment block and explore it the next week.

Make more money:
----------------
Enable the "$50,000" code and buy large amounts of red cars. You can only buy ten 
at a time. Return to the car screen and sell all the cars that you bought. You can 
only make $2,500 back from selling them (half the money back you paid for).

Easy properties:
----------------
To get easy properties without extortion, use the following steps. Beside the picture 
are invisible buttons that say (in order) sack hood, return to base, and hood pay. 
Press the "Return To Base" button and then you own it. Doing this also (one week 
after the process) allows you to buy the empty area in the middle of tenement blocks.
