winning at windows vegas solitaire
Created | Updated Jan 28, 2002
The program Solitaire bundled with every major version of Windows since about version 3.11 is a popular card game. Solitaire also comes with OS/2. It's also known as Klondike.
The Windows version comes with an opportunity to play Vegas style, where you wager 52 dollars and earn 5 dollars back for each card you place back on the suit stacks (where they should be). On Draw Three you get to go through the main stack of cards thrice, and on Draw One, only once.
Here is a strategem for playing Vegas - Draw Three. I can't tell you how to win the game, but can give you some pointers to making winning easy.
1. Without starting to go through the main stack, make as many moves as you can that is available to you. Then begin your play
2. KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN! If you carelessly go through the stack and do not keep your eyes peeled to a possible move then you may as well as call winning the game off. (You may move your cash back in the black, but not win.) One incorrect move may stop you from making all the correct moves later.
3. Take it slow. Don't rush through the main stack.
4. As soon as you get a chance to shift a card from the tableau to the main stack, then take it. Don't build up the stack before you move them up to the suit stacks.
Good luck!
