Peeking
- Peek at dealer down card - With this option, the dealer down card flashes on the screen for a half second. You will occasionally find that you can see the dealer down card as it is dealt. Obviously, this improves the odds enormously. The number to the right is the percentage of times this will occur.
- Peek when dealer peeks - Peek at the dealer down card as above; but only when the dealer checks for a Blackjack. The number to the right is the percentage of times this will occur.
- Peek right and left - These options allow peeking at and counting of the cards of players next to you when you are playing a face cards dealt down game.
- Randomize Card - When set, you can peek at random cards instead of both cards at your right or left according to the above option.
- Randomize Hand - When set, you can randomly peek at hands to your right or left. These options complicate card counting, as you need to remember if you counted the cards.
- Hole Carding - When you see the dealer down card, the strategy is completely different, and substantially more complex than normal Blackjack strategies. Your decision must be made depending on both dealer cards. So, the tables are over twice as large. For cover purposes, you may also want to play differently depending on whether the dealer upcard is a high card (7 and up) or low card. Altogether, three playing strategies can be specified. Specify the strategy to be used when you do not see the hole card on the Playing Strategies screen. Normally, this is Basic Strategy. Specify one or two strategies on this screen to be used when you see the card. Both strategies can be the same. A sample strategy has been included which includes some cover. That is, it doesn’t allow suspicious plays like hitting a 19 against a 20. You will be checked against these strategies. You can define and import a custom strategy from Casino Verite Windows software. Import from the Playing Strategies screen and then select here. Note: Errors for hole-carding are not logged. Also, because the strategy tables are very large, you will need to rotate to landscape when viewing them on a small device.
