| Blackjack One deck or more? |

Blackjack. One of the casinos in the game of Bootleggers. Also one of the best ways to make money in my opinion. But Im not here to give you gambling facts, Im here to explore why, in some hands, there are 2 aces of clubs. Some believe it is because of two decks. I however, believe that it was a coding problem and that, really, only one deck is used.
First we must find a hand in which two of the cards appear to be the same cards. I have an example

In this picture, we have two 10 of clubs. Now, if you right click the card and click properties, you will get the website of where the card comes from. I did this for the two cards, and place the respective boxes above the cards. Here is what I found

Now, if you are too lazy to open up the pics, here are the respective websites that the cards came from.
Left 10 - http://www.bootleggers.us/bj/cards/spade/10.gif
Right 10 - http://www.bootleggers.us/bj/cards/club/10.gif
Now, look at the suits at which I have bolded. Yes, they are different. I know you might be saying But they are the same card! Well, theyre not. If you would like, you can copy the pictures of the cards into your browsers and see for yourself that they both look like the 10 of clubs.
Why I think spades look like clubs was a simple program error. The club pictures were used for both the spade code and the club code. Perhaps this was done too hastily? I dont know. However, this is how I back my claim that there is only one deck used in the game of Bootleggers Blackjack.
Now people might be saying Well, you still can have 2 of the same cards in clubs! To this I say, Well, you then should have just an equal chance to get 2 of the same diamonds or two of the same hearts! That is why I propose a challenge. If you think that the Blackjacks here use two decks, I would like you to play Blackjack until you can find a hand where you get 2 of the same hearts or 2 of the same diamonds. If you do, take a screenshot of it, and send it over to my account, CaptainPlanet. If you find one, I will be happy to accept that there are two or more decks used to play the game of Bootlegger Blackjack. Until next time, this is CaptainPlanet, uncovering the mysteries of the Bootlegger casino's.
Until next time, The Power Is Yours!
