Welcome
Welcome to Sage Software's Sage Blackjack Simulator. The reason Sage
Software has devoted time and resources to the development of blackjack
software is because the rules of the game are very simple, yet people who
take some time to learn a winning system can gain an advantage over the
casinos. Sage Software provides the software to satisfy a casual player
who wants to play for the enjoyment of playing, and also to satisfy the
serious player who wants to create, test, and learn advanced winning
systems.
A list and a brief description of the blackjack programs that Sage
Software provides follows:
Sage Blackjack Simulator (unregistered). This is the shareware version.
This program can simulate the house rules of most casinos in the world. Up
to seven players may play at the same time. Any seat can be unplayed,
played by the user, or played by the computer. A random shuffle is used to
shuffle the cards. From 1 to 8 decks can be used in the game. The minimum
bet, maximum bet, and shuffling point can all be defined by the user. The
speed of the game can also be adjusted (slow, medium, fast). Also, various
statistics such current bankroll, largest bankroll, smallest bankroll,
winnings, number of rounds played, and more are kept. With the animated
graphics, sound effects, and background music, this is a very entertaining
program to play.
Sage Blackjack Simulator. This program is given to the user when he
registers the unregisterd version. This program attempts to simulate a
casino blackjack game as close as possible. It has all the functionality
of the unregistered version plus can simulate a face down game (most
single and double deck games in the casinos are dealt face down). The
speed of the graphics can be adjusted more precisely by the user to
control the speed of the game. Also, the user can define actual casino
shuffles (casino shuffles are not random and can have an effect on the
game). With the casino shuffles and because all cards are collected and
discarded in the same order as the casinos do, this program is one of the
best casino blackjack simulators on the market at any price!
Sage Blackjack. This is the top of the line as far as blackjack programs
go. This program was designed to teach the user winning blackjack
strategies and can also be used to test and even create them. It has many
teaching aids available for doing this. One teaching aid provided by this
program is the Tutor. When the tutor is turned on, the computer will
monitor each playing action the user makes while he plays and will notify
him if he makes a mistake. The user can define any playing strategy to be
tutored on, including playing strategies based on a true count. Another
teaching aid is the Count Training functionality that can help teach the
user how to count cards. Card counting is a method that expeirenced
blackjack players use to gain an advantage over the casinos. It is no
secret that a player who counts cards can gain an advantage over the
casinos. Yet another training aid provided by this program is the Flash
Cards. Any playing strategy that you define for a player can automatically
be transferred to flash cards which you can scroll through to help you
learn the proper playing actions to take under different situations. To
test playing or betting strategies, this program has the ability to define
most playing and betting strategies to each of the 7 seats. When the
graphics are turned off and the game is started, the computer can deal
more than 1,000,000 hands an hour (or closer to 6,000,000 when a 100mhz
pentium or better is used). At this high rate, it is possible to evaluate
different strategies by assigning them to different seats and comparing
the statistics. The players advantage for each strategy will converge
toward the actual value when a large number of hands are tested. Also this
program has the Evaluation functionality that can be used to find the best
playing action to take under different conditions. This functionality can
be used to calculate the basic strategy for different house rules and can
also be used to calculate count based strategies for different counting
methods! The decks used in the game can also be modified. The players can
be programmed to enter and leave the game under different conditions, such
as based on the true count or based on money won or lost or the number of
rounds played. This program offers a wealth of statistics including
statistics based on the types of hands, the true count, count reversal,
progression, sessions, previous hands, and more. The animated graphics,
sound effects, and background music makes this a great blackjack program
to play for the shear entertainment as well. This program comes packaged
with a manual and can be found in a few selected stores.
If you have additional questions about any of these programs, please call
Sage Software at (205) 830-9364 9:00am - 5:00pm CST Monday - Friday.
