Did you ever think of setting it up so that several players (each sitting at a different pc) can play simultaneously against the dealer? This way teammates don't have to travel to the same destination to practice together!!!

For example, if I have 3 friends that play BJ, then I can sit at 1st base, and the other 3 can sit at the seats to my left. You could add this feature so players are connected via the internet. Once we are all logged into the system then the dealer starts to deal. Any betting or playing mistakes by any player and Casey will call it to everyone's attention.
