Blackjack Table Format
There are eleven overall Blackjack table formats from which you can select, two Ultra-realistic, six general and three special. The setting of some options can also make additional modifications to these general formats. The format is selected by clicking the mouse on the desired picture. The general and special formats are described below:
Ø Ultra-Realistic formats - These formats require a higher resolution monitor (at least 800x600) and at least a 16bit color depth. There is an explanation of these settings at the end of this section. Either four or six seats are available and you play in any or all seats.
Ø General formats - In all of the general formats, you can play one or two hands. Your hands are always at the lower center of the screen. The screen location of the dealer and other players depends on the format selected. Cards are dealt differently on the various tables.
Ø Special formats - Three special formats can be selected:
The first format is Head-On mode. In this mode, you are the only player. Since there is no need to show other player hands, there is more available space on the screen. This space is used to display larger cards and a high-resolution discard tray. You bet by placing money in the circle. You can change the look of the discard tray by clicking on the CUSTOMIZE button. Most options are available in this mode including all odd rules except for Multi-Action. This mode is only available with some resolutions.
The second special table format is multiple action and is described under the Multiple Action option of the Odd Rules Section.
