There are many ways to play solitaire, each with their own formats and rules. The standard Solitaire game is played with a deck of 52 cards on a flat surface such as a table. The deck of cards is as follows: four suits of thirteen cards each (hearts, diamonds, spades and clubs). Each of these sets consists of four cards: an ace, a jack, a queen and a king. Lastly, each club also consists of numbers ranging from two to ten.
One card is dealt face up, this is placed at the beginning of an imaginary line and six other cards are dealt face down across that line, next to the first card face up. The player then goes to the second card in the row and places another card face up on top of it. This process is continued by placing one card face up card in the third row, with cards face down fourth to sixth letters.
The process is completed when the player faces a row of seven cards face up. Where would be marked as the game board.
To play cards, the player has to place each of the remaining cards in a pile on the game board in numerical order (decreasing) and in alternate colors. Essentially, this means that the player has to place a black card on a red card (or vice versa) color and five at number six. If we take this as an example, we see that if the face card is a red six the player has to play a five on it black.

Introduction
One of the most frequent questions I get is on the probability of winning a game of solitaire and/or it is possible to at least gain an advantage under the standard rules. It isn't often that I say this when it comes to gambling, but my answer is 'I don't know.' It would seem nobody does. The purpose of this page will be to only to comment on the Klondike version of solitaire, which seems to be the form most frequently used in gambling. I am going to assume the reader is already familiar with the basic rules.

Vegas Variant

In the Vegas variant, three cards are turned over from the Stock at a time. A configurable rule is how many times the player may play through the Stock. Here are two gambling variants I'm aware of:
- Three Passes — In the 'three passes' version, the player may pass through the Stock three times. The cost to play is 11.4 times the money returned per card. For example, the player might bet $57 and get back $5 for every card he puts in the Foundations. In an 'all or nothing' version, the player will win 7 for 1 if he gets all 52 cards in the Foundations, or nothing.
- Unlimited Passes — In the 'unlimited passes' version, the player may pass through the Stock as many times as he wishes until he has no possible legal moves left. The cost to play is 30 times the money returned per card. For example, the player might bet $30 and get back $1 for every card he puts in the Foundations.
Strict Variant
In the Strict variant, one card is turned over at a time and the player may go through the Stock once only. The cost to play is 10.8 times the return per card placed in the Foundations. In an 'all or nothing' variant, the win is 10 for 1 for placing all 52 cards in the Foundations, or nothing.
