Two questions:
1. Why is there no surrender feature?
2. The computer deals too slowly (and the same) whether I pick slow medium, or fast. What can I do? I know you have gotten this question before. Couldn't you PLEASE let the dealer deal faster

Since hardly any Casinos offer "Surrender" these days, the feature didn't appear important enough to be worked into the game. While it may be part of the game of Blackjack per se, it is not part of the Casino-experience we wanted to recreate. Offering Surrender in a Las Vegas Strip game just isn't accurate.
As for the dealer speed, the adjustment you can make in the option screen only adjusts the time the dealer takes between cards. It does not affect how fast he actually deals them. That can not be adjusted currently. I may change that in a future version but for now that speed is fixed. |

I too would like to see the option of "surrender".
I understand that most casinos don't allow it, but I know of two in Atlantic City that do. |

I visited Las Vegas a few months ago. I stayed at the Monte Carlo on the strip, and played lots of blackjack. Surrender was offered, and I used it to my advantage.
P. S. -- I came out ahead!

Very interesting. I was not aware of any Strip Casino offering Surrender, but then again, the practices in these casinos change quite frequently.
Glad you managed to win some money. Black Jack is a fun game, but it is just so much more fun when you actually come out ahead.  |

I found another area not covered in your game. I just visited AC for the first time in a long time, and at least one of the casinos (I can't remember which) is using eight decks. The dealers had a hard time handling that many cards while loading the shoe.  |

We actually had the option to play 8 decks in the game originally, but I removed it because it simply wasn't anything you typically find in a real-life situation.
Evidently, the casino in Atlantic City you visited, is the exception to that rule. |

If we get to vote on it, I say you offer a Surrender option, but only on 6 deck shoes. Many strip casinos as well as The Palms play this game. Drop 4 deck - where is this game played anymore? I also can suggest that instead of the 4 broad rules categories that you simply offer options of H17 or S17, DAS or no DAS, DOA or D10, all split pairs to 4 hands, Aces only 1 card given and can be resplit. That would have much more utility as Vegas casinos change rules frequently. |
