Scoring Systems

In Standard scoring (the default), you earn points based on time and moves:

10 points for each card moved to a suit stack.
5 points for each card moved from the deck to a row stack.
5 points for each card turned face-up in a row stack.
3 points for each card moved from one row stack to another.
-2 points for each 10 seconds elapsed during a timed game.
-15 points for each card moved from a suit stack to a row stack.
-20 points for each pass through the deck after four passes (Draw Three option).
-100 points for each pass through the deck after one pass (Draw One option).
You receive a bonus when you complete a timed game. The shorter the game, the larger the bonus.

In Vegas scoring, your ante is $52 to begin playing each game.

The object is to earn more than you wagered.
You earn $5 for each card moved to a suit stack.
There is no time penalty or bonus awarded.
If you select the Keep cumulative score option, you see a running total of your score from game to game.
