Video Blakjak v2.0 Federal Software Registration $ 30.00
GAME FEB91 BLACKJACK BLAKJAK FEDERAL CARD CARDS
FILES: vblakj2.sdn
New to SDN
Video Blakjak is for people who like to play Blackjack
and want to learn how to play it better.
If you're looking for entertainment, you'll find plenty
here. If you're a serious student of the game, Video Blakjak
will make you a better player. It will help you learn how to
count cards, adjust to rules changes, and make the proper
betting judgments. It will even help you develop your own
card-counting system.
The program requires a true IBM-compatible computer with
384K of memory. If you have a color monitor, it will play in
glorious living color. If you have a monochrome monitor, it
will play in glorious monochrome. It is compatible with any
graphics card and will run from a floppy or hard disk drive.
People play Blackjack because it's fun. An you'll have
fun with Video Blakjak. You'll play one-on-one against the
dealer. It's a lot quicker than the real thing--and a lot
cheaper. As you play each hand, on-screen prompts will tell
you what your options are. And a status box will tell you
what's happening all the time.
If you like bells and whistles, Video Blakjak can whoop
it up with the noisiest arcade games. If you'd rather play
in quiet contemplation, you can turn the noise off. And if
you're playing at the office (not that you'd ever consider
wasting company time on something as frivolous as a card
game), a single keystroke will put you in the middle of a
very serious spreadsheet.
But Video Blakjak offers more than fun and games. It
will teach you the game and help you play it better. Here's
how:
* Strategy: Video Blakjak has been preprogrammed with
the BASIC blackjack strategy that all players have to
master and a simple but effective Advanced Point Count
strategy. At any point during a hand, a keystroke
will display the correct play. You can switch
strategies at any time.
* Assistance: If you need more help, you can summon an
assistance screen that tells you everything that's
going on: how many cards have been dealt, what the
dealer's chance of busting is, the running and "true"
card counts, the correct play for the hand, and even a
display showing how many of each card remain in the
shoe.
* Card Counting: Video Blackjack has been programmed to
"count" cards according to a strategy used by many
serious players. At your option, it will display the
card count on the screen as you play.
* Setting up the Rules: Casinos have varying rules.
These rules have a profound impact on your strategy
and your chances of winning. Video Blackjak lets you
change the rules to suit the conditions where you're
playing. You can change the number of decks in the
shoe (from 1 to 8), the dealer's hit/stand rules,
doubling rules, splitting rules, the percentage of the
shoe played before a shuffle, the table betting limit,
minimum wager and the size of your playing pot.
* Statistical Report: At any time, you can summon a
statistical report showing how well you've done this
session. The report includes hands played, won, lost
and tied, the amount you've wagered, how much you've
won or lost, the percentage you've won or lost, the
number of Blackjacks and busted hands for you and the
dealer, and the number of insurance bets you've made
and collected.
* Auto-Play: Want to see how a strategy will work
against various rules BEFORE you lay down your money?
Video Blakjak will play the game for you, according to
the strategy you choose. It never gets tired, and it
never gets distracted by cocktail waitresses. It will
play up to 200 hands in the User Supported version and
an unlimited number of hands in the Enhanced version.
* Build Your Own System: The Enhanced Video Blakjak
includes a powerful Strategy Construction Kit that
will let you develop and test your own card-counting
strategies against a variety of house rules.
