It is downloading a bunch of sucker games they want you to play. You can click off the task manager these games and stop the download. I uninstalled and reinstalled the software and now it does not freeze when I get BJ. I deposited $40 last night at Inter without a bonus as I was drunk and would never deposit without a bonus. I cashed out $860 profit playing craps, just kept rolling along. I had lost the previous 7 month in a row playing with the bonus on $90 match deposits? Go figure

I was able to play the pure practice mode (signin as practice) and the turbo button did show. I played several BJ games and saw the light turn yellow when checking for dealer BJ and then either turn red if dealer had a BJ and green if dealer did not. This change in color has been next to the dealer cards.
However, when I signin as real and go to the no DL from the help button option I do not have the turbo button but I can always tell when the dealer has BJ before the card is flipped by the flicker. The flicker has been the thing that caught my attention.
I wish it would flicker before asking for insurance though .

No lights at all! That's strange. Must be something to do with your graphics card or Java. I guess the flickering is replacing the lights which aren't showing up because the symptom is the same just without lights. Maybe you need to download & install the latest JAVA update? I think this is it: https://jsecom16k.sun.com/ECom/ECom...A7d50ae751d5d38 .

The flicker only happens when the dealer has a BJ. The long pauses is another story as is the propensity for the system to freeze according to my wager.

Well, on the umpteen different computers I have used over the 4 years of using Intercasino software both flash and download I have only seen green then red. Never seen yellow. Weird, maybe I have a color ision problem. Guess it's time for a checkup.

I too can tell if the dealer has BJ or not. When the dealer has BJ, there will always be a long pause before he flip the card.
I don't mind to know the outcome sooner. In fact, I'd like to know every outcome sooner! How about skipping all the silly graphic cards? They are meaningless anyway.

So what's your point? We are saying the GREEN flashes differently when the dealer has BJ and THEN it turns to red to show the card. If you watch the GREEN you will see it changes speed JUST BEFORE the dealers 2nd card is flipped when at that point it turns red. You can tell irtually 100% of the time the dealer has BJ just before the light turns red to show it (which is just before the card is flipped over to confirm it). The easiest way to see this is when the dealer has an ACE showing and you turn your final card and stand. Just check the "light" after dealers 2nd card is dealt but just BEFORE the red light comes on and the card is flipped.

This may have something to do with the connection speed, but in my case, with a high speed connection it has been quite obvious (for close to 4 years) in both the Java e... | | Read Entire Entry |

Yes, that is correct ... THEN it turns red.

I know GrandMaster, but the green light just flashes a little odd, with a certain slightly different pattern, and then you now it will be red (if I have a good connection with the Internet, I can tell at least 9 out of ten times correctly, if it will be red (after I skipped insurance off course).

Huh? If the green light flashes the dealer does not have BJ.

What's even more irritating is that damn flashing red "light" when the dealer gets a BJ (as in 21, if he got a real BJ he'd probably be grinning). It's like it is rubbing it in. I've always hated that thing (especially since it shows up so often).

Told you it worked, only "voices" on makes the game a little bit slower, decreasing the effect of the turbo thingy. I have sent Ryan all info of my PC a while back, on his request. But that did not lead to any changes.
Maybe he reads this about the "voices" setting and solve the problem. Maybe he even makes a super turbo autoplay button, because it is still too slow.

You can just turn off the speakers. This trick of not turning the oices off really works, which makes the whole thing even more mysterious. How does it help with the irtual memory?

Hope this helps.

they are doing it on purpose,her is my theory.they make the BJ freeze up the screen as then you are staring at the BJ for a while and subliminal messages enter your brain saying "wow i get lots of BJ's at this place and look how nice they look with the rich graphic texture,i feel like depositing more money"
Be wary people

I tried to change the irtual memory settings as Ryan proposed. It did in fact solve my problem with the freezing BJ. I don’t understand why.

Ryan H's explanation does not sound correct. The problem only occurs when the player gets BJ. Why would this require significantly more irtual memory?
I have XP Pro on a computer with 256MB physical memory. Intercasino is using about 30MB, and with a few other programs running I have 70MB free physical memory. The memory usage does not change when I get BJ and Intercasino freezes, and there is no warning that the system is running low on irtual memory.

With XP I think it depends on the amount of RAM you have. 512mb is plenty but if you have 256 or less this is insufficient for proper operation of the XP system.
I wouldnt have thought processor speed has much to do with it and with 2.7 you are more than ok.
My laptop is 3 months old and came with 256mb ram and I had problems with quite a few different applications with the irtual memory. I upgraded to 512mb (Twin 256s) and have had no problems since.
If you hit ctrl Alt Del and look at performance of the Pyysical Memory you will see if its all used up or not.
Hope that helps

I have a brand new 2.7 pentium 3 computer that has about as little you can have on a computer can have on it. Since I reformatted it, all I did was my windows updates including the new service pack, and downloaded 4 casinos. Other than that, I have a brand new out of the box modern computer. I will try what Ryan said but it seemes strange to me that a near irgin computer with almost nothing on it would still do it?

Hi,
My development team looked into this issue, and came to the conclusion that the problem you described was triggered by certain types of graphic cards.
What they found was, that due to the rich graphic textures of Version 5 the computer needs a lot of irtual memory. When your computer runs out of memory, Windows tries to pass some information to the hard disc, to make more room for the game. If your hard disc runs out of space or the irtual memory settings don’t allow for the allocation of more irtual memory, the game runs out of memory and crashes.
You can try the following solution, which may help prevent this from happening:
Free hard disc space and/or change your irtual memory settings (in the advanced system options control panel) to allow for more irtual memory.
Should the problem continue to happen after you changed your memory settings, please contact support@intercasino.com with the details, so our development team can look into this issue furt... | | Read Entire Entry |

this came up here last month, people complaining that when you use turbo and get a BJ the game freezes and you have to exit and start again
Well you would think they could have fixed it by now,I suppose they know that there wont be many BJ's for the players so it is not worth the effort
