Red Dead Redemption 2's Gambler Challenge 8 requires the player to play blackjack and win 3 games in which you 'hit' (ask for another card to be dealt) 3 times or more.
This program simulates 100000 games of blackjack to work out the probability of winning one such game under these conditions.
Open a command line window, navigate to the directory where sim.py is located and then
python sim.py
- The success condition is where you have been dealt 5 cards, and the value of those cards sum to between
minimum_acceptable_suminclusive and 21 inclusive.minimum_acceptable_sumis set to 18 by default. Feel free to opensim.pywith a text editor and tweak this variable (located on line 6) to whatever you want.
My simulation result concluded that there is a probability of around 3.62% of winning one such game, with minimum_acceptable_sum set to 18.
