Blackjack Plus Probabilities
Copyright (C) 1996 Ronald L. Mueller
All Rights Reserved
Blackjack is a Shareware program for Windows that calculates real time
probabilites and also simulates the card game head to head with the
dealer. The program calculates all probabilities of the game of
blackjack, depending on various casino rules and what cards have been
played. The probabilites of Standing, Drawing, Doubling Down and
Splitting are calculated continuously as the cards are dealt. The basic
probablity tables can be calculated for any variation of the game. All
these probabilities are calculated as the player takes on the dealer
with a graphical user interface that is like a real casino.
The unregistered version of Blackjack may be freely distributed as long
as it is not modified. Please distribute in the compressed zip file
format which includes the version number, e.g. BJprob11.zip.
The Hardware and Software requirements for Blackjack are:
o Microsoft Windows 3.0 or later, running in standard or enhanced mode.
o 80286 or higher microprocessor.
o CGA, EGA, VGA, 8514, Hercules, or other display compatible with
