Beat The House

Online BlackJack Door Game

Beat The House is basically the card game Black Jack, or 21, implemented as a BBS door. This version allows the player to get real-time advice based on probabilities about whether to stand, hit, split, or double down while playing.  The game includes a full complement of charting functions that generate online strategy and probability charts.

The player can get instant advice complete with probability data at any time, on any combination of cards. 

Includes a Probability Calculator that lets the player construct a hand and get advice on how to play it.

This is much, MUCH more than just a game! 

There is no maintenance and the game automatically generates scores bulletins and a door usage statistics bulletin.

Two versions of the program are included: a 16-bit version (bhouse.exe) as well as a 32 bit version (bhouse32.exe). The 32 bit version will run under either Windows95 or Windows NT, but it will not run under any of the Windows 3.x versions. It may be used with an MS-DOS based BBS running under Windows 95 or Windows NT.

Both 32 bit and 16 bit versions included.
