  Pros

  The program has good options, everything you need to practice counting cards using hte hi-lo system. However...

  Cons

  The program is way too slow. Casinos deal cards much faster, and even at the highest speed this program is way too slow to practice real card counting. I hope the author of this software changes that and makes the speed more adjustable, because right now it's definitely not worth buying if you want to practice real card counting.

  Summary

  Nicer graphics than other programs i have tried. i like that the computer will deal 7 hands, not just 4 or 5-makes for a more realistic game. Also, i like that u can control the speed of the game, so you can watch the cards and count them. The best thing, though, is that the card value (-1, 0, 1) is displayed on the corner of each card when it is dealt. This helped me memorize them very quickly. Now all i have to do is work on keeping a running count. All in all, this is a great program.
