list of tables bug fix, Pinochle bots improvement

This morning, the server was updated to repair a bug in the "list of tables". It's supposed to update every few seconds, but had stopped. This is now fixed.
list of tables updates every few seconds
I've spent a little bit of time updating the bots in Pinochle, based on feedback. They'll still need more work, but overall should be a little bit better in playing their cards now.

I have been recording some of the heart games in the last few days and have done some data analysis about the dealing. It seems to me that the "SHUFFLE" algorithm here in hearts is weak-in other words we have an incomplete fair shuffle. There are way too many numerical runs in the same suit. Yesterday was typical I had the 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 &10 of clubs dealt to me---next hand I had 4 5 6 7 9 10 Jack dealt to me. This is quite common---This morning I had 7 hearts inorder---6 hearts next hand. This is problem because shooting the moon is going on at a very high rate

Hi Frederick, I do not have time to reply in full right now... you said you have done a data analysis, so perhaps you could report the full details? You can write me directly if you like: marya@worldofcardgames.com
