BlackJack Objective and Strategy

Objective:

To have a hand closer to 21 than the dealer's.

Strategy:

None of this strategy guide is intended to give definitive answers. This is a basic set of reasonably stable guidelines. There are several variables. This is only a basic guide.

Aces count as either 11 or 1. Provided you have enough credits available, you can double down and take only ONE card. Insurance is offered when the dealer has an ace (1 or 11) face up and you have the credits to cover the cost of insurance.

Splitting is not allowed in this version of the game however will be available in the next.

This is a 5 deck shoe. Repeating cards are common either in your hand or the dealers.

The decks are re-shuffled after every hand and the stack of the cards is random. Use your skill in determining if you should hit or stand and wait for the dealer to 'bust' (receiving a hand over 21).

Spades Objective and Strategy

Objective:

To score as many points as possible by accurately assessing and bidding your hand for the number of tricks you expect to win.

Strategy:

None of this strategy guide is intended to give definitive answers. This is a basic set of reasonably stable guidelines. There are several variables. This is only a basic guide.

In general when building your hand it is advisable to keep Spades, Aces, Kings, & Queens. This is merely a guideline; the cards that you decide to discard and keep should be based to some degree on what you observe in the discard pile. Therefore you should make mental notes as to what is discarded.

You should base your bid on what you have, what you have seen discarded, and to some degree the assumptions you make regarding what the other player has. Remember you have seen half the deck.

Generally speaking, for the purposes of 2-Handed Spades it is to your advantage for the other player to lead beginning the game. Your opponent will lead to begin the game when your bid is 7 or higher.

HEARTS OBJECTIVE & STRATEGY

Objective:

To score as few points as possible by avoiding tricks with Hearts and the Queen of Spade, or by “Shooting the Moon” in which case you take all the tricks with hearts and the Queen of Spades.

Strategy:

None of this strategy guide is intended to give definitive answers. This is a basic set of reasonably stable guidelines. There are several nuances. This is only a basic guide.

In most cases, avoid taking a trick containing hearts or the queen of spades. The only time you will want to take such tricks is when you are trying to “Shoot the Moon” or trying to prevent your opponent from successfully “Shooting the Moon”. “Shooting the Moon” is taking all the tricks that contain Hearts and the Queen of Spades.

It is best to play your highest cards early in the game, while your opponent is likely to have some cards in each suit and will have to play those cards instead of hearts. Tricks that do not contain any hearts or the queen of spades do not add to your score.

You need to keep track of which cards have been played, particularly whether the queen of spades has been played and whether hearts have been broken (that is, whether a heart has been discarded on an earlier trick).

Triviera Objective and Strategy

Objective:

To score as many points as possible in a round of 10 questions by correctly answering as many questions as possible without running out of points.

Go-For-Gold Strategy:

None of this strategy guide is intended to give definitive answers. This is a basic set of reasonably stable guidelines. There are several variables. This is only a basic guide. You win money by accumulating enough points to achieve a ranking.

In order to achieve a Platinum ranking you will need to answer all 10 questions correctly, placing 200 points on the first question, and 500 points on the remaining questions.

In general you will need to answer a minimum of 7 questions correctly to achieve any of the other rankings. This of course is dependant upon the amount of points you place on each question, and which question(s) you miss.

Head-To-Head Strategy:

None of this strategy guide is intended to give definitive answers. This is a basic set of reasonably stable guidelines. There are several variables. This is only a basic guide. You win money by accumulating more points than your opponent(s).

The game format is the same as in Go-For-Gold play, however your only goal is to be the highest scorer in your particular Head-To-Head game room. Therefore the strategy you use when placing your points on any particular question may be different, as your primary goal is not to achieve a ranking but rather to score higher than the other player.
