Various additional options are available in the Other tab of the Options dialog.

  • Enable "Smart Dragging" (highly recommended)

Improves the dragging operations during game play by scanning the game window for a valid position for the card (or a pile of cards) being dragged, and then automatically moving the card(s) if dragging is terminated before hovering over a specific pile. See the smart-dragging topic for more detailed information.

  • One-Click Moves

You may optionally check this box to enable smart-dragging to activate with only a single click. This is useful for laptop users where dragging is not as easily accomplished as it is during desktop use. This option is only available if smart-dragging is activated.

  • Command Key Required for Shortcuts

If the box is checked, the key is required to be pressed to generate a shortcut to prevent accidental actions when the keyboard is pressed. If the box is unchecked, the key can be omitted from the shortcut keystroke (the key sequence still works as well).

  • Perform Animation on Deals

If the box is checked, a modest animation will occur during deals. If the box is unchecked, the deals will be immediate.

  • Show Help in Web Browser

If you are not a fan of Help Viewer (and you are not alone), check this box to open this Help in your default web browser. Safari is recommended.

  • Skip All Confirms (disabled in Demo version)

When checked, all confirmations for new games, restart games, or exits are suppressed.

  • Skip Bouncing Card Animation (disabled in Demo version, animation is previewed)

If the box is checked, the bouncing card animation shown after a win is not displayed.

  • Vegas Scoring

If the box is checked, the "Vegas Scoring" option is active. With Vegas scoring, one dollar is subtracted for each card for a new deal. Each card played to a foundation results in $5 being added to the score. Vegas scoring works for all games. As long as a specific game window remains open, the Vegas scoring will be cumulative as you play several deals.
