Please describe the problem in detail:
I have come to the conclusion that your Klondike Solitaire is a Fraud! I like the fact that you can go back as far as you want, and the way it finishes up the game, but it keeps repeating the same games over and over again. It is not a random dealing of the cards!

Well, "fraud" might be a strong word, but it definitely sounds like a bug. Check the game number (next to the "auto-finish" button) and see if that number is changing when you click the "New Game" button (the "Replay" button replays the same shuffle over and over so if you get stuck you can start the same game over). For instance, you were playing game #4250172714 when you reported the bug. If that number is not changing, that's a problem.

Or, if the game number is changing but rotating through just a few different numbers over and over, that is also a problem. So, it would be a big help if you could keep track of that number and let us know how it is behaving—that will help us track down this problem (we don't see it on our own computers so it's hard to diagnose).
