Be aware that the trainer adapts its best play recommendations to changes you make to the paytable. The total payout is limited to 109.9%, so you may need to lower a payline before you can raise another. Other paytable variations can be entered by clicking the numbers in the 1st or 5th columns of the paytable and using the up/down arrows to adjust the pays. If you prefer to play the traditional way, click on 2X PAY to switch to the standard 1X PAY. The trainer stats ignore the extra credits and record your wins as if they were the normal amount. To make things more fun, the game defaults to 2X PAY mode, so you get twice as many credits when you win. You can learn a lot by playing with the trainer off, then reviewing the log to see what you missed.

The log shows the cards that were dealt, the best play, your play, and the cost of any errors you made. If you were playing in WARN mode, the log reflects your first answer. Whether the trainer is on or not, the game keeps track of your statistics and a log of your play, which you can review by clicking VIEW LOG. However, the statistics on the right will still reflect your first answer, so you can see how you're doing without the trainer's help. In WARN mode, the trainer will only come on if you make a mistake, showing you the better play and giving you a chance to change your answer.

You won't learn as much if you leave the trainer on all the time and just copy its answers, so we recommend playing with the trainer in WARN mode. The statistics on the right show your playing time, speed of play, the theoretical payback percentage of the game with perfect play, the projected payback percentage with your plays, and the cost of errors. Yellow dots on the corners of the cards show the best cards to hold. The CHANGE CARDS button allows you to explore the best play returns for hands that you enter. When the trainer is turned on, it lists the best plays and their average expected wins on the left. You can use the mouse to click on cards to hold, or you may find it easier to use the keyboard:
