Blackjack ∙

Perfect app for honing your Blackjack chops and and really getting that "basic strategy" down pat. particularly while using the chart and or card in conjunction with basic strat. All the neat little features like the achievements and the different options that enhance the gameplay as you see fit makes for a rewarding experience that offers an addicting incentive to play as often as possible. The single solitary disagreeable attribute is of course being interrupted by the ads. No one enjoys being yanked out of the zone and bombarded with an epilepsy inducing waist of time. However, That being said, you have to acknowledge the fact that it's anything but uncommon and as far as ads go, it could be much worse. In the end I say the pros far outweigh the cons to the point at which the latter seems negligible so I still give this app 5 stars. Nice work GreenPanda! 👍🏻🤓

This is one of the better blackjack apps I've tried. It doesn't have an "all-in" option that is easily accidentally pressed, the full-screen ads only show up every once in a while, and this app (seemingly) uses actual decks that get shuffled when the cut card is reached as opposed to certain other apps which randomize each hand. (This paragraph is not valid.) There is a bug which happens whenever I split on a pair of Aces - for each of my new subsequent hands, the game automatically "stands" on both, no matter what each of their totals are. Minor bug, though. CORRECTION: What I thought was a bug is actually just standard blackjack rules, so no bugs after all.

I didn’t want to sound like a sore loser, but read a few reviews and saw others are saying the same thing: I’ve noticed that you can bet small amounts and win all the time, but the second you start betting large bets you lose 15 times in a row to where you lose all your chips and have to “buy” to keep playing. I’ve tested it out and whenever you start betting large bets, the dealer always gets blackjack or to 21, 20 or anything higher than you numerous times in a row. Never seen that on a real table. Also, you seem to always lose when you have 20. I split a split and lost to 21 3 times in a row. That just can’t happen. Sorry, not a sore loser but that’s just not possible. Also, there’s just no way a dealer can get blackjack as often as the dealer does. I’d say 70% or more of the time the dealer gets it. It’s a fun game when you bet small, just don’t think you’ll ever get to win big cause they need you to buy chips to keep their game going.

I get that the developer wants you to buy chips. However, taking away a level of real play to do that does not do the game any favors. The higher your bet, the less likely you are to win. When I’m dealt “12,” about 85% of the time my next card is a “10.” Statistics show that one will bust only about 31% of the time so the game is not statistically accurate. Conversely, about 85% of the time the dealer draws “12,” the dealer will somehow draw to 20 or 21. Average draw rate for blackjack is about 4.8%. My current rate is just under 4%. That would be fine if the dealer’s rate for blackjack wasn’t 3 times that. When you are player just the dealer, your rate and the dealer’s rate should be the same. I would move the “Do you want to split” buttons so they aren’t right over the other commands. I’ve accidentally split cards a bunch of times. The format of the game is nice as is the speed of play and the graphics, but algorithm the game uses to determine the cards is just too heavily weighted to the dealer and the win streaks the dealer goes on is ridiculous. I’ve started counting. I’ve had as many as 11 losses in a row (not realistic) and am dealt 12 far more than the statistics would show over a significant number of hands (I’ve played over 1700).

This is my 3rd review of this game. I sang its praise the first time, then slammed it the second for the intrusive commercials and how they take over the screen. So is the 3rd time a charm. A resounding yes❗. With the time and energy put into the gameplay, graphics and options, I felt this game deserved one more chance. Things seem to level out with things like how many times I'm dealt a 13 or 12, with the dealer always seeming to have a face card ending up with a 20. However with the daily incentives and finding the personality of the game (almost like the feeling you get from a dealer) things seem to level out. I have dumped all other blackjack games and now have this loaded on my two iPads and my iPhone. Game play is the same, beautiful and smooth. My few small gripes and why I didn't give a fifth star. 1) I wish the game would sync in Game Center, so when I switch devices, I can pickup where I left off. After reaching a very high lever on the iPad I only use at home. My travel iPad mini 4, game level starts from scratch. I would gladly pay for this feature. 2) I would like the option to turn off the announcer saying "BlackJack". The cash register ring is okay. So 4 stars for now. I can't put this game down.
