Figure 9: Game Settings Pane

1. Draw options
   You can choose between one, two, or three cards to be turned at once. If two or three cards are turned to the waste, the order of each group of two or three is reversed on the waste pile. Changing this option requires starting of a new game if the current game is not finished. You must answer a prompt message in this case to allow this. If you deny this, the option is not changed.
    
2. Score options
   One of the following options can be chosen:
   1. None
      No scoring is done and reported.
   2. Games
      The total number of games and the number of games won are counted and reported.
   3. Standard
      Points are counted and reported. The numbers in parentheses apply when using the option "Allow any placement on empty tableau pile":
      • You will get 5(4) points for moving a card from the waste pile to a tableau pile.
      • You will also get 5(4) points for every card uncovering on the tableau piles. Seven cards are uncovered from begin.
      • You will get 10(8) points for moving a card to a finish pile. If you move the card from the waste directly to a finish pile, you get only 10(8) points. If you can move the card from the waste to a tableau pile first and then to a finish pile you will earn 15(12) points.
      • After the maximum number of passes through the deck has been reached, you lose 100 points for each additional pass if you play with the Draw One option. If you play with the Draw Two or Three option, you lose 50 or 20 points for every additional pass, respective. Normally, the maximum number of passes is one when playing with the Draw One option, and two or three when playing with the Draw Two or Three option, respective. However, you can also change the maximum or cancel it altogether.

      The theoretical maximum number of points for a game is:
      52 x 5 + 52 x 10 - 7 x 5 = 745.

   4. Vegas
      Bankroll is counted and reported. The number in parentheses applies when using the option "Allow any placement on empty tableau pile":
      • When you start the game, you get a debt of $ 52 - this is your wager. The object of the game is to earn more than you wagered.
      • You win $ 5(4) for every card that you drop on a finish pile.
      • After the maximum number of passes through the deck has been reached, the game is over. Normally, this is one pass when playing with the Draw One option, and two or three passes when playing with the Draw Two or Three option, respective. However, you may change the maximum number of passes if you like to have more.
      Naturally, the bankroll is symbolic only: The app is not a slot machine where you can insert and receive real money.
       
3. Show timer
   If this is checked, the relative time of a game is shown in seconds. If the scoring option "Standard" is used additionally, you must pay 2 points for each 10 seconds elapsed.
    
4. Allow any placement on empty tableau pile
   If this option is selected, you may place any card on an empty tableau pile. Otherwise, you may only place kings. If you choose the option, you can win more games. However, during the evaluation you will receive 20% less points or dollars for it.The lower amounts are shown in parentheses in the above score options.
    
5. Maximum number of passes
   You can move the slider knob between the values 0 and 9. However, you can also set a discrete value if you click on the bar before or after the knob. If you change the number of cards to be drawn, the number of maximum passes will also change accordingly: 1 if you draw one card; 2 or 3 if you draw two or three cards. The value 0 means no limit on the number of passes and is the default setting.
