=Scoring for the Casino Game is according to the common wagering scheme: You "pay" $52 to begin play, and you "win" $5 for each card played on the foundations.
The regular game is scored more like a video game, including a penalty for slow play. In the regular game, scores are accumulated as follows:
PLUS
5 POINTS - Adding a card to the tableau, either from the deck or the stock. Maximum: 235 points.
10 POINTS - Adding a card to the foundations, from the deck, stock or tableau. Maximum: 520 points.
Maximum available: 750 points.
MINUS
-2 POINTS - Every 15 seconds of elapsed time, while the Game Window is active.
-5 POINTS - Moving a single card from one column to another column when there are face-up cards under it.
-5 POINTS - Moving the top card from a foundation to the tableau.
In addition, a WINNING BONUS is calculated as follows:
[ ( End of Game score ) - ( 1 POINT per elapsed second ) ] times 10.
The game is won when all cards have been played up to the foundations.
Since the maximum end of game score is 750 points (assuming you took no time to win the game!), the largest conceivable bonus is 7500 points. Total scores of over 6000 can actually be achieved.
The list of top scores in the scores window can be reset at any time. To reset the game count, hold down the option key when you click RESET.
