Currently, in the standard Solitaire, playing with Vegas-style
scoring, you frequently are dealt unwinnable hands. Even in an
unwinnable hand, however, you can still break even or even
come out ahead of your previous score. I think it's unfair that,
even if you get all points possible out of
a
hand, it can still
count as a loss in your statistics.
So I'd like a couple of win conditions you can set, including
'break even', 'surpass previous score', and 'earn all points
possible'.
That is all.

Or perhaps when you lose, a window should pop up saying, "Your life on this planet is limited. Why are you wasting it playing a pointless computer game ? Turn the computer off, and go do something real". |

I think that's actually what should happen when you /win/. |

If you lose then you could always get a life. |

Why is it called "Vegas scoring"? Did they ever actually play solitaire in Las Vegas? (Sorry honey, I lost $22,000 at the solitaire table and I had to sell our plane tickets) |

My understanding is that a few casinos in Lost Wages,
Nevada still have solitaire tables. |

Hey thanks, klaatu, that worked wonders. Went
from -52 to +12,077 in 3 days. Still, though, some
hands remain unwinnable and I'd like to have the
fact that I've scored the highest score possible to be
reflected in my win percentage.

I play solitaire while listening to political debates,
to educate myself on the issues at hand. In total,
maybe 2-3 hours every few days. |

That's more or less what happens in every Vegas casino
game. It's the economic base of the entire state of Nevada. |
