New release soming soon
We are working on a new release, with two new big features to address an issue that a lot of people are unhappy with, and that is, not having enough winning hands in Klondike.Hopefully you will be happy with what we have come up with. (And for those of you who are happy with the way it is, don't worry, everything will still work as it did before)
1. Shuffling: At present we shuffle the cards so they are completely random. This is not how real people shuffle cards, when you and I shuffle a deck of cards, there are usually some cards that don't get properly mixed into the pack, there might be a sequence of 3, 4, 5 of clubs all together for example. So, the new version offers three ways to shuffle cards.
a) Completely random. This is a very thorough shuffle, to remove all bias. This is how it is done currently, and it will remain the default.
b) Overhand/Hindu shuffle. Most people use an overhand shuffle, or a hindu shuffle in eastern countries. This produces a good mix-up of cards, but is not completely mixed, short sequences still appear when the cards are dealt.
c) Riffle shuffle. Casinos shuffle poker decks using this method. Produces a more thorough mixing than overhand, but not as mixed as a random shuffle.
2. Winnable hands: At present, Klondike hands have about a 15% to 20% chance of producing a winning hand. (Nobody really know what the exact percentage is). However, if you would rather have a 50/50 chance of winning, or a 100% chance of winning, you can choose to play with Klondike hands that are known to be winnable (we have tested them first, so we can guarantee that these are indeed winnable hands)
Also, we are adding two new games, Accordion and La Belle Lucie.
We hope you like the new release !
