I notice that it is "Unreportable" because it's not a genuine Ubuntu package. FYI It came with the Ubuntu ISO that I downloaded through Ubuntu.com

actually, those are the rules. when you split aces, you only get one card on each. many casinos won't let you resplit aces either...

actually, there is a bit of a bug in the software. in real world blackjack, the only option for a player is to stand after splitting aces. currently, the software requires you to stand after being dealt a non-ace card on split aces. this is unnecessary. the program should give the player the option to stand or resplit if another ace is dealt and should automatically stand for the player and move on to the next ace if a non-ace card is dealt.
