I am thinking of setting up a number of dummy players so Dealer wouldn't be looking to beat any one player in particular, ie it would have to stay more often than it does here, playing one-on-one.

Hi Johnno,

Yeah time to update to QB64 v1.3 where Type allows variable length strings. :)

This version of Blackjack will save you bundles of money lost at casinos. ;D

Besides, you might have card images and noises for a real app. ;-))

Yeah! That's why I need to add more dummy players, so it has to "stay" more conservative, instead of drawing cards until it matches or beats or busts the only player it goes against.

One on my first programs after I graduated colors was Black Jack, played Las Vegas style, out of a shoe. Instead of a two player game, I made it an analysis program, to test different well documented playing strategies. I can credit that project with keeping out of casinos. In order to win anything of any significance, you have to make large bets, and play all day. You also literally cannot afford to make mistakes. You risk being banned for card counting if you actually do well, and, as one interesting book I read stated, "If you think people who built these casinos on drug money and prostitution wouldn't cheat you are cards, there is no helping you." All the casino has to do is take out a ace, pop in a couple of extra 5's or 2's, and you're totally screwed, no matter how well you play the system. I wish I could credit that program to QBasic, but at that time, I was using an Atari.

Hi Pete,

You know, adding aces to the deck might make my little Blackjack game more interesting and be another way to overcome the dealer's advantage of winning ties. I would have to change the neat way to total a hand and create the deck but I am no longer interested in minimum lines of code.


Preliminary plans with dummy players:
The shoe in my game is only 1 deck and is shuffled before each round. I like the simplicity of that.

So I think 3 dummies plus me and dealer is ideal, just enough cards used that card counting might work, if you want to try a hand at that. Let the 3 dummies go first get a feel of cards played.

So far my dummy players have a choice of playing a set bet amount all the time or altering the bet. But what conditions could possible be used to alter the bet intelligently?

As I have been coding the game, all the betting occurs before any cards are shown. I know in real games after 2 cards dealt (dealer shows 1 face up), you can double down or split or buy insurance... however that goes, that too might make game more enjoyable against dealer and house rules.

Main rule at casinos: The Odds must be in favor of the house! Which is no fun!

My main rule: Have fun playing (and coding). Which means a probable chance of payoff for diligence and skill employed.

Well I guess I am just thinking out loud here... coding rarely ever goes as I had thought in preliminary plans.
But the aces idea with dummy players seem a good experiment.

Oh, 'loose" was in first program... OK fixed, Thanks

A couple of things I like in second program is using Types within Types that creates a window for each player, and a perfect accounting system: Dealer's Total Chips + all the Player's Chips = 0 (and the Player's chips are always positive or 0).

Thanks to [banned user] and his deck image png file, I have more visual representation of cards.

I also eased up on the House Rules st the Dealer only draws until the total > 16 PLUS this game allows more ties eg when both players bust or match totals.

  1. OPTION _EXPLICIT ' Easier House Rules: Dealer must draw if card total < 17.

You owe me 500 chips. I like the ones with ruffles.

Any thoughts to add a way to change the betting amount?

You can bet any amount up to the amount of chips you have each round by entering 0 or just enter on very first screen.
Quote
cp 8, "For this Blackjack Game, you start with 100 chips"
cp 9, "and can bet any amount of them for each game."
cp 10, "If you'd like to set your bet for each game now"
cp 11, "enter that amount otherwise enter 0 "

I am planning more options for the player at Hit or Stay time so if you've won so much money it's burning holes in your pocket you will have option to change the SetBet amount and maybe change your room to the Penthouse Suite.
