Boris
Release 4.40/4.41
Features and Enhancements

Of the many changes in Boris 4.40/4.41, several are worth highlighting.

1. Wash Enhancements:

   • Several new card-washes have been added.
     
   • Logic has been added to simulate pre-wash "card-collisions".
     This is necessary for accurate simulation of casinos such as the Vegas Mirage
2. Shuffle Enhancements:
   • Several new Shuffles have been added or modified.
     
   • The Random Ejection Shuffler has been added. (Look for the King-Shuffler in 4.42 or 4.43)
     This keeps Boris light-years ahead of other Blackjack Software.
3. Convenience Features:

   • To simplify manual betting, a new Chip Panel has been added to the software.
     This also simplifies the buyin procedure and repeating the same bet(s).
      

   • The Design-a-Shoe Facility has been introduced allowing you to make your own .CARDS files. (Support for the new .CARDS files will be added in Release 4.42.)

4. Strategy Drill Enhancements:
   • The Drills Facility has undergone a complete facelift!
     The Strategy Drills Screen now gives you "Correct Play" feedback.
     
   • The Drills Facility (in the Advanced and higher Editions) now support the use of Practice-Decks via .CARDS Files made with Boris' new Design-a-Shoe™ Facility.
     
   • You can step through the cards manually (or have Boris flash them
     at the time interval you specify) - 1, 2 or 3 cards at a time.
     
   • You can monitor (or disable) the Running/True count display.
     This is useful in perfecting your counting speed and accuracy.
5. Strategy Assistance Enhancements:
   • Running/True count display is now switchable (on/off) during play.
     
   • You can now designate an "Evaluation Strategy" to aid in your study of the game.
     Clump-Trackers can use this feature to study augmenting their play with an additional card count.
     
   • You can now designate the players Betting-Spread (in Units). This is useful for
     more closely controlling the behavior of Artificial Intelligent (A-I ) players that alter the Spread as part of their overall Betting Strategy.

   • Release 4.40 brings us a new ShoeViewer™ Facility.

   • Boris 4.42 will be made available, first to the current user base, then to new users. (Currently, new users are being shipped Boris 4.41). Users will be notified when the 4.42 Release is ready for D/L from the Website.
