This game is to train your BlackJack card counting skill with simple Hi-Lo card counting method.
It is very easy to play with the following simple actions:
Change chip: touch chip ($10, $20, $30, $40, or $50)
Deal: push chip up
Hit: touch under your cards
Stand: slide under your cards
Double: push chip up
Split: slide second card to the right
Insurance: push insurance (on the left) chip up
There are no clustered buttons around which makes the game enjoyable and you would feel like to play at a real BlackJack table.
Index calculated from card counting determines which betting chip to choose. Strategy (either Altantic City Strategy or Las Vegas Strip Strategy) determines the moves: Hit, Stand, Double, or Split. You can change game settings so that you will get a friendly reminder if your move does not follow the strategy selected, and your betting chip selection is different from card counting calculation.
Useful information is available by touching the "i" icon on the up right corner. The detailed description of Hi-Lo Method, card counting statistics, as well as Atlantic City Strategy and Las Vegas Strip Strategy are included in the game so you can check whenever you need. There are more information handy and game settings for you to select in the information section. The multiple decks (4-8) are reshuffled when about one deck is remained.
For the users who played the game: BlackJack aka 21 Trainer, this is your next level game once you are familiar with Atlantic City Strategy or Las Vegas Strip Strategy.
Frequently Asked Question:
Why I move my finger across the screen below the cards sometimes produces no result?
Answer: For stand, you need to slide gently not passing into the chip area. I programmed it to only allow the actions in restricted area (below the cards) to prevent someone to touch/slide any other area.
