CasinoHelper -- A predictive analysis tool for BlackJack and Video Poker.
Overview: While some of the calculations can be painfully slow on some systems, I've
did the most I could to create an accurate analysis tool -- BlackJack will let you configure all the different table rules, and Video Poker
will allow configuration of the payouts (which determine playing strategy).
To do: The predictive code is pretty well done; maybe some changes later on (when time permits) to close up public methods and properties, etc. Also, I
may remove all the "hard-coded" positioning and replace with Layout Managers; I just haven't had time to do so yet. Also, in case anyone is wondering why it isn't multithreaded -- The calculations is runs through
are very system-intensive; multithreading didn't help during the time trials I had previously ran (In most cases, it actually made it worse). Also, I need to finish up the CasinoGuideFrame class.
