Applet

I have this applet from Deitel's Java:How to Program
It is a game of craps and I am trying to warn the player if h/she
enters a wager greater than $10000. I wrote a method called
promptPlayer for that. I just wanted to know if I am on the right track
and any tips would be appreciated(since I am new to Java.)
Thanks
