Computerized Blackjack Simulation

[Zoron]

My Computer Science class is organizing a huge blackjack-based simulator project. We are planning to incorporate into our simulator everything down to the minutest detail - what kind of shuffle is used, how deep into the decks the dealer goes before shuffling, and a thousand other things I can't think of. [although I am new to this, my teacher is not.]

I was wondering what other projects like ours have been undertaken. So far, I have run into the following programs in my research, but they are all commercial and potentially inflexible.

[in, as far as I can tell, decreasing order of usefulness:]
Casino Vérité Windows Blackjack (!)
Sage Blackjack Simulator
BJ777 Blackjack Simulator
DeepNet Technologies {they offer multiple products}

Does anybody know of any software, perhaps written by some university somewhere, that really pushes the envelope beyond the programs I have listed? We really want to get a sense for what has been done before - i.e. what the most sophisticated simulator out there can do. Thanks in advance.

Casino Verite WITH the key modules for data-risk-sim-shuffle goes beyond anything that you kids can cook up together in one semester.
