Currently, in the standard Solitaire, playing with Vegas-style scoring, you frequently are dealt unwinnable hands. Even in an unwinnable hand, however, you can still break even or even come out ahead of your previous score. I think it's unfair that, even if you get all points possible out of a hand, it can still count as a loss in your statistics.
So I'd like a couple of win conditions you can set, including 'break even', 'surpass previous score', and 'earn all points possible'.
That is all.-- 21 Quest, Jul 26 2012 Or perhaps when you lose, a window should pop up saying, "Your life on this planet is limited. Why are you wasting it playing a pointless computer game ? Turn the computer off, and go do something real".-- 8th of 7, Jul 26 2012 I think that's actually what should happen when you /win/.-- ytk, Jul 26 2012 [Options] [Draw 3][Vegas Scoring]

P.S. I have no life...-- Klaatu, Jul 26 2012 If you lose then you could always get a life.-- UnaBubba, Jul 26 2012 Why is it called "Vegas scoring"? Did they ever actually play solitaire in Las Vegas? (Sorry honey, I lost $22,000 at the solitaire table and I had to sell our plane tickets)-- phundug, Jul 27 2012 //Did they ever actually play solitaire in Las Vegas?//
My understanding is that a few casinos in Lost Wages, Nevada still have solitaire tables.-- Klaatu, Jul 30 2012 Hey thanks, klaatu, that worked wonders. Went from -52 to +12,077 in 3 days. Still, though, some hands remain unwinnable and I'd like to have the fact that I've scored the highest score possible to be reflected in my win percentage.

I play solitaire while listening to political debates, to educate myself on the issues at hand. In total, maybe 2-3 hours every few days.-- 21 Quest, Jul 30 2012 //listening to political debates//

That's more or less what happens in every Vegas casino game. It's the economic base of the entire state of Nevada.-- Alterother, Jul 30 2012 random, halfbakery
