Wow! Installation was a couple mouse clicks, and time to play! This is blackjack as it’s played in a casino, with all the different play options, number of decks, speed, you name it. You can have up to 7 players (computer or human), set betting minimums and maximums, and turn the sound effects and music files on and off. I left the music on, as it comes with Mozart and Beethoven .MID files that I love. It also seems that you can add other music in .MID files. The play is easy to follow and the animation is attractive. I was hooked. This could easily become the next Solitaire or FreeCell fad.

I don’t keep many shareware games, but for only $10, this is a definite investment against boredom. The totals of your cards are even shown so you don’t have to do quick math on face cards. The only registration reminder is a little screen when you exit the program, not an irritation at all. I also found the numerous help files very comprehensive and easy to read.
