Rule Presets
Three quick-load presets are available:
- Player+: Most player-favorable rules (1 deck, S17, 3:2, Late Surrender, Double Any)
- Standard: Balanced mid-range rules (4 decks, S17, 3:2, No Surrender, Double Any)
- Casino: House-favorable rules (8 decks, H17, 6:5, No Surrender, Double 10–11)
Selecting a preset immediately applies all its rules. You can further adjust individual parameters after loading a preset.
House Edge Display
A real-time estimated house edge is displayed in the Beta Tweaks panel, color-coded by severity:
- Green (< 0.5%): Very player-favorable
- Blue (0.5% – 1.0%): Standard conditions
- Orange (1.0% – 2.0%): House-favorable
- Red (> 2.0%): Strongly house-favorable
When Changes Apply
Rule changes take effect on the next dealt hand. The estimated house edge updates immediately as you adjust parameters, so you can see the impact before playing.
