The boxed (retail) version of Hoyle Card Games has a bug: the hands dealt are not random - you'll sometimes see the exact same hands over and over.

Encore has released a patch for this software, but it was only for the Windows version (last I saw). Make sure the Mac version is also patched.

Maybe somebody from Encore could respond. . .
