Blackjack

REVIEW - BLACKJACK -
This version of blackjack allows as many as 5 people to play. The interesting
graphics show the cards of a hand overlapping so that all hands, Including the
dealer's, can be shown simultaneously. The blackjack rules of the program sire not
standard. A natural pays twice the bet instead of !§■times it, but the dealer wins
all tie bets. One may double down only if the total of the first 2 caxds is 10 or
11. With 3 or fewer players, pairs may be split. The dealer must stand with a total
of 18 or more or with a 17 that does not include an ace counting for 11. With
lesser totals the dealer may or may not standi one of the players must make the
decision. Thus a sixth person could play the dealer, although the program does
not keep track of the dealer's winnings. There are bugs in the program. Occasion--
ally it skips the play of one of the hands or displays the wrong point total for
a hand. This program is not for the serious blackjack enthusiast, but is for
those who want to have fun playing with a group of friends. —Pete Weller—
