I am using my favourite text-editor (just take a pick, any will do), and compile with the FPC command-line compiler with target being win32.
If you are on windows, then you can change the font of the console by going to the system menu of the console (that icon on the top-left), and press properties. There are some tabs, and in one of them you can change the font. I'm not into betting games, but i guess yours is set to lucida console ;-)
You can also use lazarus, and should be no problem. Just use whatever works best for you.
