- I have two questions. 1) Does any one know what the odds are on
- a video poker game, the payoffs?
-
- 2) I received a computer game called Casino Master. I is okay,
- my question is this. Is there a difference between real blackjack random
- play and the pseudo-random play in this or any computer game, how good
- is the simulation?
-
- It seems tough to win on this game, tougher than in an actual casino.
- If nothing else it is good practice for card counting. One thing about
- this game, it rounds off wining bets. Example- if you bet $5.00 and get
- a blackjack, it pays you $7.00 instead of $7.50! Strange, not that tough
- to program with cents.

- Thanks,
- Ken
