Hand 5 is now believed to correctly represent all bots' hands and bets as of the end of that hand. If there are any mod errors, I will correct them tomorrow.STRANGERCOUG: Stranger Than You!

The commentary for round 5 that had been overwritten has been rewritten. It is not an exact restoration, but it is similar wording to what I remember writing before.STRANGERCOUG: Stranger Than You!

HAND 7/30
It is Zen Count/Basic to bet first. It makes a bet of $50,000, followed by ND bot with its usual bet of $5,000. R2-D21 wagers $48,000, Apple Siri wagers $57,000, and Minimalist Bot wagers $25,000.
Bot Hand Total Bet Stack Minimalist Bot Soft 21BLACKJACK!$25,000$654,500Zen Count/Basic Soft 19$50,000$1,225,000ND bot Soft 16$5,000$1,000,000R2-D21 14$48,000$113,000Apple Siri Soft 21BLACKJACK!$57,000$827,000Dealer 2
Hand 7 is lucky for two of our bots, who both have blackjack and this time don't have to worry about the dealer having a surprise blackjack itself. Thus, R2-D21 is the last to act that the dealer is worried about. It must first take an action from Zen, which elects to stand on its soft 19. ND bot elects to hit its soft 16 and gets a six for its efforts, putting it at a hard 12, but it decides it is content with that and stands. R2-D21 also opts to stand on its 14.
The dealer flips over its hole card.

That hole card comes up a jack, on which it hits and gets a six, ending it at 18. For two of our bots, seven was lucky, while for another two, it was unlucky. The fifth bot doesn't believe in such silly superstitions about the number 7, but is happy with its win.
Minimalist Bot wins $37,500.
Zen Count/Basic wins $50,000.
ND bot loses $5,000.
R2-D21 loses $48,000.
Apple Siri wins $85,500.
All the bots hang onto their places in the rankings. Minimalist Bot rises to $717,000, Apple Siri to $969,500, and Zen Count/Basic to $1,325,000. Three hands remain before the first elimination. Which four will survive?STRANGERCOUG: Stranger Than You!

HAND 8/30
First to bet is ND bot, which sticks with its betting strategy of always betting $5,000. R2-D21, knowing it has to recover as fast as it can to avoid elimination and likely hope that other bots suffer some big losses, bets $34,000. Apple Siri bets $37,000, Minimalist Bot bets $25,000, and Zen Count/Basic repeats its bet of $50,000.
Bot Hand Total Bet Stack Minimalist Bot 11$25,000$692,000Zen Count/Basic 17$50,000$1,275,000ND bot 11$5,000$995,000R2-D21 14$34,000$79,000Apple Siri 5$37,000$932,500Dealer 5
ND is content with its hard 14 versus the dealer's upcard of 5 and stands. Siri hits and draws a jack, after which it stands on 15. Minimalist opts not to double and instead merely hits, drawing a 3 and standing on 14. Zen stands pat on 17, and ND doubles its 11, drawing an 8 and ending its hand on a 19.
All eyes turn to the dealer.
Bot Hand Total Bet Stack Minimalist Bot 14$25,000$692,000Zen Count/Basic 17$50,000$1,275,000ND bot 19$10,000$990,000R2-D21 14$34,000$79,000Apple Siri 15$37,000$932,500Dealer 25OVER!
In the hole, it had a queen. Everyone knew the dealer would have to hit, and so it does... getting a king in the process, busting on 25. Minimalist starts kicking itself for not doubling, but perhaps that's why it's called Minimalist Bot. At least everyone wins money
Minimalist Bot wins $25,000.
Zen Count/Basic wins $50,000.
ND bot wins $5,000.
R2-D21 wins $34,000.
Apple Siri wins $37,000.
Again, all bots remain where they are in the rankings. R2-D21 goes up to $147,000, Minimalist Bot to $742,000, Apple Siri to $1,006,500, ND bot to $1,010,000, and Zen Count/Basic to $1,375,000. Only $3,500 separates the silver from the bronze as Siri threatens to overtake ND. Will that happen in hand 9?STRANGERCOUG: Stranger Than You!

HAND 9/30
R2-D21 is first to bet in this hand that it much needs to win and puts up $44,000. Apple Siri follows with a bet of $30,000, Minimalist follows with its usual $25,000 bet, Zen Count/Basic bets $80,000, and ND bot continues its flat bet of $5,000.
Bot Hand Total Bet Stack Minimalist Bot 20$25,000$717,000Zen Count/Basic 13$80,000$1,295,000ND bot 20$5,000$1,000,000R2-D21 20$44,000$103,000Apple Siri 14$30,000$976,500Dealer 5
R2-D21 is happy with its 20 and stands. Apple Siri, on the other hand, puts up another $30,000 to split its sixes. The first six gets paired up with a four, prompting it to put in yet another $30,000 to double down, with a jack added to make a good hand of 20. Siri's second six from before the split gets mated with a three and risks yet another $30,000 to double it as well. It gets only a five added to it, which means Siri must be content with a 14 and hope the dealer busts to profit—its worst nightmare is a dealer 21. Minimalist Bot's bug resurfaces, hitting its 20 and busting as it draws a king. Zen Count/Basic is happy with its 13 and stands.
It finally comes to the dealer.
Bot Hand Total Bet Stack Minimalist Bot 30OVER!$25,000$717,000Zen Count/Basic 13$80,000$1,295,000ND bot 20$5,000$1,000,000R2-D21 20$44,000$103,000Apple Siri Hand 120$60,000$886,500Apple Siri Hand 212$60,000Dealer 17
The hole card comes up a ten for a hard 15, prompting the dealer to hit. The next card off the top of the deck is a deuce, allowing the dealer to stand on 17.
Minimalist Bot loses $25,000.
Zen Count/Basic loses $80,000.
ND bot wins $5,000.
R2-D21 wins $44,000.
Apple Siri pushes.
That gives R2-D21 $191,000 to work with as it tries to avoid being eliminated next hand. Minimalist Bot falls to $717,000, Apple Siri remains at $1,006,500, ND bot keeps relatively steady at $1,010,000, and Zen Count/Basic, despite its setback, is still hanging on to the lead with $1,295,000. Hand 10 will determine which of these bots will be the first to go home, and the bookies at Kilobit Casino think it'll be R2-D21. Can he avoid that fate?STRANGERCOUG: Stranger Than You!

HAND 10/30 — FIRST ELIMINATION
Apple Siri is first to bet in this very important hand and stakes $55,000. Minimalist Bot, realizing the importance of this hand, decides that this hand is worth $215,000 to it. Zen Count/Basic bets $50,000, ND bot bets $5,000, and R2-D21, probably on slam tilt by this point and certainly having realized he now has to go big or go home, bets everything.
Bot Hand Total Bet Stack Minimalist Bot 20$215,000$602,000Zen Count/Basic 12$50,000$1,245,000ND bot 12$5,000$1,005,000R2-D21 13$191,000$0Apple Siri 19$55,000$951,500Dealer Soft 11
The ace up is very scary for R2-D21: being out of money, it cannot afford to bet insurance, and if the dealer has a blackjack, it is gone. The dealer asks everyone else if they'd like insurance, and Minimalist is the only taker.
Spoiler: The dealer inserts its hand into the card reader...STRANGERCOUG: Stranger Than You!

It was planned to allow bot editing in the breaks after an elimination, but for the final version I decided to have bot programs locked in for the entire game. Sorry. If there's demand, I may allow it next time.STRANGERCOUG: Stranger Than You!

The appeal timer has now expired with no objections to the game status. Aronis, I am sorry, but your bot, R2-D21, has officially been eliminated.

HAND 11/30
Four bots remain. Minimalist Bot returns to being the first to act and bets $25,000. Zen Count/Basic, perhaps fearing more bad beats coming, drops its bet down to $20,000. ND bot goes for the tried-and-true $5,000 flat-bet, whereas Apple Siri makes a very bold bet of $103,000.
Bot Hand Total Bet Stack Minimalist Bot 20$25,000$362,000Zen Count/Basic 13$20,000$1,225,000ND bot 19$5,000$1,000,000Apple Siri 18$103,000$848,500Dealer 10
But was that big bet from Siri a good idea? The bots worry again as a queen comes up as the upcard, which means dealer must check for a blackjack and will not be asking for insurance like when the ace was the upcard. The bots have been able to dodge dealer blackjacks so far, but will they again?

HAND 12/30
Zen Count/Basic, first to bet, bets the minimum of $5,000, as does ND bot. Apple Siri bets $38,000, whereas Minimalist Bot bets its usual $25,000.
Bot Hand Total Bet Stack Minimalist Bot 20$25,000$337,000Zen Count/Basic 11$5,000$1,240,000ND bot 10$5,000$1,005,000Apple Siri 19$38,000$1,016,500Dealer 10
Quite a number of tens have been coming out of the shoe lately, and once again a ten-point card shows up as the dealer's upcard, this time a king. A very ominously familiar situation, as two bots have good hands to double with.

HAND 13/30
ND bot starts off the betting in what some say is a superstitious hand and puts in its usual $5,000. Apple Siri bets $20,000, Minimalist Bot bets $25,000, and Zen Count/Basic bets $5,000 again.
Bot Hand Total Bet Stack Minimalist Bot 17$25,000$312,000Zen Count/Basic 8$5,000$1,245,000ND bot 19$5,000$1,010,000Apple Siri 15$20,000$1,034,500Dealer 4
ND bot is content with its 19, as is Siri with its hard 15. Minimalist, unusually, chooses to hit its hard 17, and a seven out of the shoe sends it over with a 24. Zen hits its eight, also drawing a seven to get a 15, then decides it's fine right there.
The dealer flips its hole card.

The dealer flips over a queen to show a 14, then hits his hand for an eight, busting on 22.
Minimalist Bot loses $25,000.
Zen Count/Basic wins $5,000.
ND bot wins $5,000.
Apple Siri wins $20,000.
Hand 13 was lucky for most bots, though it was unlucky for the one with the biggest change in score, Minimalist Bot, who is now down to only $312,000. ND bot goes up to $1,020,000, Apple Siri goes up to $1,074,500, and Zen Count/Basic goes up to $1,255,000. Hand 14 soonSTRANGERCOUG: Stranger Than You!
