Delay Times - Sets delay times (in tenths of a second) for various points in the game. Adjusting these times can help a player learn to play and count cards at a realistic pace.  The default settings are set to play a moderately fast paced game. To slow the game down, simply increase the delay times. Also, the pace of the game will quicken if the sounds are shut off.

Count Display - Sets how the count display is displayed. If None is checked, then no display is shown for any player. If Default is choosen, the count is displayed according to the Count Calculation settings selected in the Strategy Menu. A Red colored display (e.g. "R" for running count) signifies running count, while a Teal colored display (e.g. "T" for true count) indicates true count calculation. If Running Count is selected, all players are shown using a running count. If True Count is selected, all player counts are shown using true count calculation.
