I am using it to make another BS card. I'm playing at a casino now that only peeks for Aces, for 10s they do NOT peek. I want to change the BS card to the "no peek" option. But I don't know what the engine means by the "no peek" option? Does that mean the dealer doesn't peek on both 10 AND aces? Or does it mean the dealer only doesn't peek on 10s but still checks for BJ on aces?

Please let me know. Thanks.

"no peek (euro style)" means that the dealer does not get a second card until after the player action has finished. this is different than what you are describing

The no peek option can apply whether the dealer takes a second card or not. The key is whether you can lose both bets of a double or split to a potential dealer blackjack. If the dealer peeks before the hand starts, you can't double or split anyway. If they don't peek, then it depends on how the particular casino handles multiple bets if the dealer has a blackjack.

If you are in an area where they peek under aces but not tens, you'll need to merge two charts, using a peek strategy for the aces and a no-peek strategy for the tens.

Note that if the rules say that double downs and splits are reverted after the dealer has blackjack, "no peek" strategies shouldn't be used. I'm not sure how common this is.
