Best BJ app by far
Wed Feb 09 2022 Malignant NarcissistI’ve tried many free and pay BJ apps and this one easily remains my favorite. Free chips and plenty of options which allow for practice using different rules/odds that you might find in various casinos and cruise ships... BJ pays 3/2 or 6/5 - Splitting Aces (and/or re-split) - Double after split - Surrender - From 1-8 decks, and much more.
Auto re-bet is nice option, set the speed of play, table color, several card designs, play in portrait or landscape modes (great for iPad). Strategy advice (on/off), training hands, and it saves your statistics to review your play.
If your looking for real practice, you found it with this app. The reviews saying blackjack is rigged for the dealer, are correct; and probably have very little experience in a casino. The odds are always on the houses side. That’s how the bills are paid. Learn the odds, or stick with slots. There is no motivation for the developer to rig this game. Although there are some settings/options in this game I’d sure like to have in a casino.
My only recommendations are sync bankroll with iPad/iPhone, and a option to play friend(s) online.
Rigged
Sat Nov 11 2023 josephstalin666The deck is rigged against you completely, this is not realistic, it’s not that hard to tell that the cards aren’t random bet high and you will get a bad hand reduce your bet extremely and your hand improves tremendously. The dealer goes on winning streaks which happens in real bj of course but not as much as portrayed here. I’ve had fun trying to find a way to exploit dealer streaks by betting low and when the game gives you a rare win streak to bet high but it doesn’t always work because the game almost always gives you a bad hand when you bet higher. Also whenever your supposed to double or split by basic strategy the game will screw you over 9/10 times with the card you draw being bad or the dealer gets a 21 from a 3-6 revealed card. I can’t count how many times I’ve had a good hand to stay but the dealer is always 1 more up. The algorithm seems to just decide that you are going to lose, whatever shuffle their is isn’t consistent. I have to wonder what incentive their is for the developer to rig the deck this way, perhaps if you buy the pro version some of these issues might be resolved. The longer you play the worse the odds get which is realistic, it’s best to just play a few hands and take your winnings doing this I’ve been able to grow the balance substantially. Despite all the issues this is the best blackjack app I’ve tried so far although that isn’t saying much. If you want to really learn it’s best to just use real cards.
Best in the AppStore
Mon Sep 04 2017 My2senteThis is the best blackjack app I've found in the AppStore. I have tried quite a few of them and none of the other apps come close.
Of the others I've tried, they all want you to buy chips, or their shuffle algorithm favors the dealer overwhelmingly, or both.
The great attributes of this game are:
- Chips are free. No extra chip buying!
- The shuffle algorithm is as close to the real thing as I've come across.
- The table settings allows you to set it up the same as you would find in Vegas .
- The free version gives you all the functionality, just with ads.
- Removing adds forever is just $1.99, which is a very fair price (I paid it almost immediately).
- It actually plays in landscape on the iPad, unlike a lot of the others that's still mostly geared towards the iPhone in portrait.
- The app developer is very responsive to suggestions and requests, and clearly knows the ins and outs of blackjack.
- It's great to play just for fun (there's a luck booster) or to use it to practice for the real thing.
I'm using it to prep for an upcoming Vegas trip, and it has already helped me to become better at basic strategy and bankroll management.
Kudos to the developer for creating this great blackjack app!
Deck not balanced
Mon Sep 13 2021 1stSgt USMCAlways seems to be heavy on Aces and lean on Face Cards. I’ve changed the numbers of decks but I don’t have the ability to shuffle…the “Request Scuffle” never works in settings and there is no indicator on the game table. Enjoy the game, but when I get 5 Aces dealt back to back…just not realistic. Did a count of Aces in the shoe: Aces of Hearts-14 Aces of Diamonds-24 Aces of Clubs-25 Aces of Spades-22
Update: The developer, Mark, took time to work with me to correct the problem that I was experiencing with the deck not being balanced and a number of features that were not working. Due to his outstanding customer service, the game now is outstanding and very realistic. I can’t thank him enough for the time he took to assist me in correcting the problems.
Developer has put the work in!
Sun May 09 2021 SirJimmyJamI’ve been playing this app for a few years now. There is not a better blackjack training app in existence. The goal is to be unconsciously competent of this unpredictable casino game. This app delivers, hands down. Why? Because it mimics exactly what happens when the player deviates from basic strategy, but most importantly, it reveals how many hands are actually not winnable. And it’s refreshing to know what, we as players, are really going up against. Thanks for making an outstanding simulator. My only suggested update? Two hands. There’s a different strategy on playing when you know one hand is weak and the other likely a winner.
Beat The Casino: Not So Fast
Sun Dec 31 2017 mgmd1Blackjack is a humbling game. It will bring you to highs and lows in a matter of seconds! This game, the only one I’ve found in the App Store, is by far, the single most realistic, non-promotional, game out there for Blackjack. Not only will you see what a buy in will potentially make (or cost) it sets a realistic level of money management for when you do go to the casino. I’ve tried countless apps, this is the only one that continues to exceed expectations, by the way real blackjack will only be played. Well done - and I highly recommend playing before you enter the real game. The more hands you play, the more you will realize how much of a streaky game it really is! Good luck ✅

Absolutely the best blackjack app out there.
Wed Apr 19 2023 BJudgeThere is no competition at all. This app is absolutely perfect. The developer uses Apples RNG, so it is 100% random, although there’s an optional luck enhancer that can be used to give the player some extra luck. The free version has some banner ads, but no annoying commercials like most of the other BJ apps on the App Store. And there’s no “pay-to-win” scam, like a lot of the other BJ apps. The pro version of the app has all kinds of customizable features and embedded card counting to help you practice your card counting skills. This app blows every other blackjack app out of the water.
Excellent training app
Sat Oct 15 2022 fuhcshnvxdAds are unobtrusive, haven’t done statistical analysis on correct deck modeling but feels fair. The only thing missing is a better training mode, where I could make a blind decision and then get instant feedback about whether it was correct (maybe with a quick way to peek at the strategy table). I love that I can turn off hand values but might like a way to keep them off until the entire dealer’s hand is complete. Anyway, this is extremely high quality and much appreciated.
EDIT: after purchasing the pro pack, I think all my requests are already built! This is great!
Good practice but
Sun Nov 27 2022 BukrubI like this game a lot as it just lets you practice unlike other games that give bonuses and level ups. I appreciate the ability to bet just like I would at my casino. I have noticed that the guide does not go exactly by basic strategy how ever I understand there are different ones. I have a hard time believing the cards are shuffled and remain a constant. I find it funny that almost every time I move into a high bet that I get 19 or 20 and the dealer gets blackjack almost every time. I have now played for over 10 hours using my normal betting strategy. The last six hours I have remained right in the same hundred bucks I’ve been in. Strange.
