For the Serious Blackjack Game Player...
Deck Shuffle and Deck Penetration: The first shuffle when you start a new blackjack game is always random. During game play as the dealer picks up your cards they are put onto the discard pile, the most recent cards on top. The cards are added to the discard pile just as you see them taken from the blackjack table. If you bust, those cards are taken away immediately and added to the discard pile just as a real blackjack dealer would. Ditto for paying out blackjacks, surrendering, even money, etc.
 You can set the deck penetration to reflect your favorite casino's blackjack rules. This places a "cut card" in the deck and when the deck gets down to the "cut card" in a hand shuffle game or an automatic machine shuffle game, the dealer shuffles. For the hand shuffle, the deck is divided into 4 equal piles. Half the pile is taken from each of two piles, shuffled together twice, and put into the new deck pile. The actually shuffle riffles the cards randomly to simulate a blackjack dealer hand shuffle more accurately. The final new deck will be made up of several shuffled piles stacked on top of each other.
Continuous shuffle games use a 19-slot elevator shuffle, as do the Automatic Machine Shuffle games.

"Thank you for your remarkedly fast response. I have looked at a number of blackjack games on the internet as well as in computer stores and yours seems to be the best. It is so full featured, I am surprised that it was so reasonably priced. (The best graphics I have seen so far is Blackjack Ballroom, but this has no where near the features of your game: also, it is sponsored by a casino and seems to be very easy to beat. I ran $1,000 into $9,000 the first time I played it. I wonder how well I would have done if I had been playing for real money, as they wish? Thanks again." -- Jerry W

High Scores Window: A blackjack game ends when all the players leave the table, or when you decide to stop playing and end the blackjack game. Each player starts a game with a preset bankroll (which you can change). When the game ends, the amount of money left in your pot will determine your Blackjack Game Score. If you have $300 and your bankroll was $250, you've won $50, so your Game Score will be $50. If you have $100 left from a $250 bankroll, your Game Score will be -$150, a loss. You also have a Cumulative Score, remembered from game to game. If you lose $50, gain $75, and lose $10, your Cumulative Score will be (plus 75 minus 50 minus 10 = $15), a gain of $15 overall. Which blackjack strategy you were using (computer players only, human players strategies are listed as Human), the number of players and decks during that game, the number of hands played, and other factors are also tracked. You can sort the High Scores window by any of the categories. The top 100 blackjack strategies are remembered. If you win $400 in one game using the Basic Strategy and then lose $1000 in subsequent blackjack games, then overall the Basic Strategy has lost you $600, so this number is the key number in how Blackjack Gold chooses the top 100.

"On top of that, I chose to go ahead and pay for the bigger version of this program because it is the best that I have seen yet after having tried quite a few. I'm not much of a gambler but I'm trying to push up my math aptitude. Learning blackjack strategies is a fun way of doing that. Good job on developing such a good/fun tool for learning the game." --Brett D

"BTW, on a whim I clicked on the About Us page of your web site and was surprised to see an actual picture of you, dog, husband, etc. :-) You won me over right there. So many companies that do business on the web seem like ghosts that it was refreshing to know that the Sharon who has processed my order is that Sharon right there who was the same Sharon that is developing the software....a very nice touch."
