FEATURES
Game Module
The Game Module has been designed as an aid to practice basic strategy and sharpen
counting skills. A realistic environment has been created, including high
quality graphics for table elements, and user-adjustable delays for the various prompts
(insurance, surrender, checking hole card) that occur during game play. In addition,
numerous tools have been included to assist the player in evaluating his or her skill and
progress.
The Play Analyzer, which opens with the Game Module, keeps track of the cumulative player
statistics, and can be used as a measure of the players skill.
