     Video Blakjak  is  for people who like to play Blackjack
and want to learn how to play it better.

     If you're looking for entertainment, you'll find  plenty
here.  If you're a serious student of the game, Video Blakjak
will make you a better player.  It will help you learn how to
count  cards,  adjust  to  rules changes, and make the proper
betting judgments.  It will even help you  develop  your  own
card-counting system.

     The program requires a true IBM-compatible computer with
384K of memory.  If you have a color monitor, it will play in
glorious  living color.  If you have a monochrome monitor, it
will play in glorious monochrome.  It is compatible with  any
graphics card and will run from a floppy or hard disk drive.

     People play  Blackjack because it's fun.  An you'll have
fun with Video Blakjak.  You'll play one-on-one  against  the
dealer.   It's  a  lot quicker than the real thing--and a lot
cheaper.  As you play each hand, on-screen prompts will  tell
you  what  your  options are.  And a status box will tell you
what's happening all the time.

     If you like bells and whistles, Video Blakjak can  whoop
it  up  with the noisiest arcade games.  If you'd rather play
in quiet contemplation, you can turn the noise off.   And  if
you're  playing  at  the office (not that you'd ever consider
wasting company time on something  as  frivolous  as  a  card
game),  a  single  keystroke  will put you in the middle of a
very serious spreadsheet.

     But Video Blakjak offers more than fun  and  games.   It
will  teach you the game and help you play it better.  Here's
how:

    *  Strategy: Video Blakjak has  been  preprogrammed  with
       the  BASIC blackjack strategy that all players have to
       master and a simple but effective Advanced Point Count
       strategy.  At any point during  a  hand,  a  keystroke
       will   display  the  correct  play.   You  can  switch
       strategies at any time.

    *  Assistance: If you need more help, you can  summon  an
       assistance screen  that  tells  you  everything that's
       going on: how many cards have  been  dealt,  what  the
       dealer's  chance of busting is, the running and "true"
       card counts, the correct play for the hand, and even a
       display showing how many of each card  remain  in  the
       shoe.

    *  Card  Counting: Video Blackjack has been programmed to
       "count" cards according to a  strategy  used  by  many
       serious  players.  At your option, it will display the
       card count on the screen as you play.

    *  Setting up the  Rules:  Casinos  have  varying  rules.
       These  rules  have  a profound impact on your strategy
       and your chances of winning.  Video Blackjak lets  you
       change  the  rules to suit the conditions where you're
       playing.  You can change the number of  decks  in  the
       shoe  (from  1  to  8),  the dealer's hit/stand rules,
       doubling rules, splitting rules, the percentage of the
       shoe played before a shuffle, the table betting limit,
       minimum wager and the size of your playing pot.

    *  Statistical Report: At any  time,  you  can  summon  a
       statistical  report  showing how well you've done this
       session.  The report includes hands played, won,  lost
       and  tied,  the amount you've wagered, how much you've
       won or lost, the percentage you've won  or  lost,  the
       number  of Blackjacks and busted hands for you and the
       dealer, and the number of insurance bets  you've  made
       and collected.

    *  Auto-Play:  Want  to  see  how  a  strategy  will work
       against various rules BEFORE you lay down your  money?
       Video Blakjak will play the game for you, according to
       the  strategy you choose.  It never gets tired, and it
       never gets distracted by cocktail waitresses.  It will
       play up to 200 hands in the User Supported version and
       an unlimited number of hands in the Enhanced version.

    *  Build Your Own  System:  The  Enhanced  Video  Blakjak
       includes  a  powerful  Strategy  Construction Kit that
       will let you develop and test your  own  card-counting
       strategies against a variety of house rules.
