- Some quick notes on simple play.
-
-
- In order to place a bet there must be money in the Player Bet
- Bank. This is the upper chip bank located in the lower right corner
- of the game screen. The lower chip bank is the Player Chip Bank.
- Initially all the money the player has is in the Player Chip
- Bank. In order to move money from the Player Chip Bank to the Player
- Bet Bank, or vice versa you must click with the mouse on the chip
- stack desired. One of the selected chip will move from one chip bank
- to the other chip bank. These mouse click must be made ABOVE the
- line that separates the chips from the total monetary value of all
- chips in the chip bank.
- In order to place the bet click on the amount of the Player Bet
- Bank. This is below the separator line of this chip bank. The
- Change button in the center of the screen will then be replaced by
- the Table Bet Button. This is the amount of money at risk on this
- round of Black Jack.
- If you wish another card (take a hit) click once one the shoe in
- the upper right hand corner of the game screen. If you wish to stand
- on the cards present in your hand, then click on the Table Bet
- Button. This is the button in the center of the screen with a dollar
- amount in it.
- If you wish to Surrender, Split, or Double Down; these button
- will appear on the screen when the specific optional play is allowed
- by the rules of the game in effect AND the Player possesses enough
- money to cover any additional bets required. These additional funds
- will be taken directly from the Player Chip Bank.
- The Discard Pile in the upper left-hand corner of the screen will
- present statistics on the cards previous played. Previously played
- cards also include, if applicable, all visible cards currently on the
- table. The term previously played cards will be used with the
- understanding that the cards on currently on the table are also
- included.
- These statistics are to help players develop, practice and
- improve their card counting skills. The statistics may either be a
- catalog of all the cards played, broken down by rank; or the sum of
- the rank weights of the cards previously played.
- The rules of the game includes: the size of the shoe, the
- Dealer's play, the optional play, if any, open to the Player, and the
- payoffs for various hand outcomes. These parameters of play are all
- controlled from the RULES menu.
- The HINT menu will give you hints on the best play available,
- setting rank weights, and setting which of the two statistics will
- appear with a click on the discard pile.
-
- The FILE menu allows you to save game parameters for later use
- and to recall these parameter settings. For example, the Blackjack
- parameters of the exact play of Blackjack as played at the Aladdin
- Casino in Las Vegas could be saved and used prior to your trip to
- that casino.
-
-
-
- I hope you find this program as enjoyable to use as it was for me
- and my colleagues and friends to debug and improve.
