Solitaire starts below zero: identify the scoring mode before resetting
When a fresh MobilityWare Solitaire deal starts at a negative score, note the score before moving a card and check the scoring mode. A new deal can begin with a points deduction under Vegas Scoring.
What to check
Standard Scoring begins at zero. Vegas Scoring deducts 52 points for a new deal and awards five points per card moved to a foundation. The cumulative setting controls whether points carry from one deal to the next. These are in-game points.
Compare one example
Record the score at the start and after the first foundation move. A five-point increase in Vegas Scoring is consistent with the documented rule. If the displayed scoring mode and the observed changes disagree, report both observations to the publisher before clearing progress.
