I apologize for the late response, but the problem you described is now resolved. The game correctly credits the player with a win when both the player and dealer have blackjack. Thanks for letting me know.

Because there are so many rule variations, I decided to use a fixed number of rule sets. And because surrendering/forfeiting/conceding is an option, the player must act again after doubling, even if the correct decision is apparently obvious. But maybe using the keyboard shortcuts could...

Bugs are now Fixed The following bugs in the Spanish 21 trainer have now been fixed: 1) Under Standard S17, 8 decks: After doubling down on 11 against a dealer's Ace, I received a 6 and surrendered with 17. The game told me that I was incorrect. It said that I should have HIT. But hitting...

Regarding surrender error: That problem has been resolved. Regarding the options: Because there are so many different combinations of Spanish 21 rules, I decided to only make 3 Spanish 21 games and 7 Pontoon Games. According to Katarina Walker's book, they are the more commonly dealt...

BlackjackInfo.com is correct. I will make the correction on the trainer and charts at hitorsplit. Thank you.

Thanks for reposting those here. Those bugs were indeed fixed recently. In fact, there were 4 bug fixes, so the following problems are all resolved now: 1) Under Standard S17, 8 decks: After doubling down on 11 against a dealer's Ace, I received a 6 and surrendered with 17. The game told...

Regarding ENHC with Ace exception: I assume you are talking about blackjack. I have been trying to strike a balance between customization and ease of use. For now, there is an ENHC option, but it does not include the Ace exception. That will be a the top of my list to add if I decide to add...

Hi everyone, It seems that there are quite a few experienced Spanish 21 players in these forums. I could use your help. A few people have emailed me recently, pointing out bugs with the Spanish 21 trainer that I developed and made available for free at www.hitorsplit.com. Well, a Spanish...

You are not supposed to surrender. The correct play is to stand. The strategy chart on hitorsplit.com is correct, but the trainer has a bug. The bug has been identified, and I am in the process of fixing it. I apologize for the confusion.

Running some quick numbers, it looks like the player's edge would be about 17% to 18%. Essentially, the player would surrender any time the expected value of his hand against the dealer's up card was not positive. I believe that results in the player surrendering about 59% of hands and...

Competition I like the idea of generating a competition for high scores. When I was redeveloping HitOrSplit, I included a high score feature that would record the high scores of the day, of the week, and of all-time. Scores are determined by the number of consecutive correct basic...

You are correct. I was able to replicate all three items that you pointed out, and all three are indeed mistakes. I am working on making those changes, and I will let you know when they are completed. The dealer should peek for a natural in all three versions of Spanish 21 (but not the...

If you play the blackjack game at HitOrSplit, you can change the Settings (at the top right corner of the game screen) to alter the rules of the game. ENHC is one of the options, and you can also change the surrender options. I am fairly certain that is close to what you are looking for, but...

You are correct. I will fix that ASAP and reply.
