More importantly, this version includes a new calculation to answer
the question, "How many hands do I have to play to be close to this
game's Expected Return?"

Would you mind elaborating on this new calculation?

Select a game, then select this function. Enter how close you desire
to be to the game's expected return (e.g., 2%) and the probability
you want of being within that range (e.g., 5%), and it tells you how
many hands you have to play to be within your specifications.

Thanks for the explanation. It sounds useful, especially to compare
alternative playing choices, in a way similar to the NO calculation,
except your calculation is "two sided" isn't it?
