Questions

Is it free?

Computer players with three levels: easy, medium and hard. They play by the same rules as you and never see hidden cards or the next card.

What are the chips?

Play chips, the same for every game. You start with 2000 and they are won and lost in the games. You can also buy chips, but they have no money value and cannot be sold, exchanged or refunded. Below 100 chips? You get 250 free chips the next day. Leaving a game that already counts (from 3 letters, or 3 hands at twenty-one) costs chips; before that, leaving is free. How many depends on the table (its length, the stakes and the players or bots); the leave window always shows the exact number. At twenty-one, leaving is also free when the bank changes, until the new bank deals. The chips you win in the games raise your level (bought and free chips do not). Every new level gives 150 chips.
