## 2.3. Scoring

Softick Solitaire Klondike allows to choose between two ways of scoring. If you wish, you can disable scoring at all. Choose the scoring mode in the Options window. By default, Klondike uses Standard scoring and timed game when one move brings points and another takes them away. At the same time you lose points if you play too slowly.

During the game you get:

- 10 points for each card you played to the foundation,
- 5 points for moving a card into one of the seven stacks at the bottom,
- 5 points for exposing (turning face up) a card in one of the seven columns.

Losing points:

- -15 for returning a card from a foundation to one of the seven stacks,
- -20 every time you cycle through the deck after the third time (if you deal 3 cards by default),
- -100 points for turning the deck over after the first cycling (if you deal 1 card).

If the Timed Game is on, you lose 2 points for each 10 seconds of gaming, but in the end of fast game play you get additional points. The faster you play, the larger is the bonus.

If you choose the Vegas Mode, you will start the game with the wager of $52, and every card you move to the foundation will bring you $5. Your goal is to get your $52 back and even win more. Of course, you are aware that the money in this game are virtual and imaginary.

While playing for money, you can deal from the deck one, two, three or four cards at a time. You can specify it in Options window: choose Deal 1/2/3/4 cards option.
