Folks, this game is really quite well designed with cute chitchat among the A.I. players, good background sound effects, and reasonable on-screen presentation. It is a great teaching tool for neophyte players. Being a WSP fan, I play mostly the Texas Holdem game, but Blackjack is quite fun also. I have a G3-level iMac with OS 9.1 and 128 mB RAM. The Texas Holdem' game causes total computer freeze on occasion, and consequently, loses memory of whatever gains/loses you have for that particular session.

The crashes are hard to predict based on certain types of hands, eg., a player holding triple 6's may cause crash. Three contending players with 2 prs, a triple, and a higher valued hand resulted in a crash, I had folded in that game, and was watching the 3 A.I. players.

I tried playing a few hands at a 'table', cashing out, then going to a new table. This strategy did not preserve memory of cash totals if the program crashed. What I do now is simply quit the program every few min, then re-activate it. So far, I have been able to stay ahead of potential crashes. Perhaps, the programming maxes out a buffer, whatever, if you play too long in any continuous session.

Otherwise, it is a very fun program, and a good introduction to, especially, Texas Holdem' for poker hopefuls.
