Version	Features/Changes
3.3.2	Fixed a problem with the amount of the matching Call bets after a Raise.
3.3.1	Added a menu item to turn the card animation on or off.
3.3.0	This version introduces the popular pot-limit betting structure A game played with a pot-limit allows any player to raise up to an amount equal to the size of the whole pot before the raise. Say there is $10 in the pot, and your opponent bets $10, you can then call the bet ($10) and raise $30. This version let's you use any Windows BMP file (files with a .bmp extension) as a background image. From the tabletop background dialog select any BMP file on your computer to use as the background (you can use MS Paint to convert your favorite JPEG files into BMP format) or download the image file shown above to use as a background.
