Claim (Index 23):
The method of  claim 22 , comprising:\n after dealing the at least one first card and the at least one second card, soliciting an action to be taken in the game from the player through an interface, in which soliciting the action includes soliciting respective wagers on each of the respective hand totals, in which soliciting an action includes providing respective indications of a plurality of respective possible actions and a plurality of respective indications of a percentage of time each actions has been taken by other players, in which soliciting an action includes providing respective indications of a plurality of respective possible actions and a plurality of respective indications of a chance that taking each action will result in an improvement of the hand of the player, in which soliciting an action includes providing respective indications of a plurality of respective possible actions and a plurality of respective indications of a chance that taking each action will result in a bust of the hand of the player; determining the least one first card used from the set of cards for the hand of the player in the game; determining the at least one second card used from the set of cards for a hand of a dealer in the game; determining the plurality of probabilities based on the at least one first card and the at least one second card; tracking a plurality of cards that are used from the set of cards to play a plurality of games of Blackjack prior to the game, and in which determining the probabilities includes determining the probabilities based at least in part on the tracked cards; receiving a bet that the dealer will receive at least one of the possible hand totals. determining odds for each of the respective wagers based at least in part on a respective probability, in which at least one respective probability includes a probability that the dealer will receive the at least one of the possible outcomes, in which the probability is based on the current set of cards available in the set of cards from which cards dealt to the dealer will be chosen;\n determining that at least one probability is at least one of greater than a first threshold value and less than a second threshold value; \n in response to determining that the at least one probability is at least one of greater than the first threshold and less than the second threshold, adjusting a rule of the game based on the determination that the at least one probability is at least one of greater than the first threshold value and less than the second threshold value, in which the rule includes at least one of a rule controlling payouts for winning the game, a rule controlling which outcomes are winning outcomes, a rule controlling which outcomes are tie outcomes, a rule controlling the decisions available to a player, a rule controlling the actions of a dealer, a rule controlling the procedures of a game, a rule controlling the value of cards in the game, a rule controlling allowed bets, a rule preventing surrender in the game, and a rule allowing at least one of discarded cards to be added to the set of cards and additional cards to be added to the set of cards, in which adjusting the rule includes transmitting, from the computing device, an indication that a rule adjustment is due; \n in which providing the indication of the plurality of probabilities includes providing the indication after dealing the at least one first card and the at least one second card; \n in which determining the probabilities that the dealer will achieve the particular hands includes determining respective probabilities of respective hand totals equal to each non-bust dealer total, in which the probabilities are based on a card visible to the player in the hand of the dealer and at least one card played and seen by the player in a prior game of Blackjack; \n in which the set of cards includes a virtual deck; \n in which the plurality of cards does not include at least one card that is not seen by the player during play of the plurality of games; and \n in which the respective hand totals include each of a 17 total, an 18 total, a 19 total, a 20 total, and a 21 total
