The Odds Are Against You- Don’t Bother
I’ve had this game on multiple phones for almost 3 years now for plane trips solely because this game works in airplane mode and is a good 10-15 minutes time waster.
First, let’s get this out of the way: A blackjack game is only as good as the logic that goes into randomizing the cards for the House and players, and with that said, that logic in this game appears to be set on a predictable pattern and completely stacked against the player.
The House will beat you 10-15 times before allowing a 4-5 game winning streak for the player. This seems to be consistent at all tables. The House has a 50% chance of getting a hand of 19-20 against the player when the player receives low cards and has to Hit. Moreover, the House gets Blackjacks at a 2:1 rate against the player, across all tables.
Bottom line: either don’t listen to me and see this pattern unfold for yourself (it will), or avoid this game like the plague- there are better options out there that have had better card logic implemented by their developers that don’t tilt the table overwhelmingly in the House’s favor.

Response from developer
Thank you for playing BlackJack by MobilityWare. We are happy to hear that you have played on so many of your devices. In any series of randomly generated outcomes, there may be an observable pattern but the conditional odds are going to remain the same. Although these streaks maybe something you had observed the game is not designed to influence outcomes or follow any patterns. Cards are shuffled using the random number generators supplied by the operating system. If cards appear in a similar order then this is by chance and not design. We hope you find this information to be helpful in your decision to keep playing and wish you the best of luck in BlackJack.
Black Jack
MobilityWare blackjack is the most realistic game out there. It's hard to win when the dealer gets hot, but that is exactly the way the game goes at the casinos. It teaches you how to play perfect strategy, which doesn't always work, so you have to be patient, make some minor adjustments and don't get mad or emotional.

Good game
Great game lots of practice for the real thing when Vegas!!
This is the best Blackjack
Easily my favorite Blackjack app. I’ve been playing for years. However, settings need to be updated. Very little has been done here since 2009. Please add the ability to re-split cards (not Aces). Most Vegas casinos allow you to split as many times as you want on non-Ace pairs. Please make the rules more customizable so I can properly simulate a Vegas table. (Which is what I use this app for.) Thank you for the great app!

Great quality and great tool
This app is phenomenal for those like myself that enjoy the game of blackjack aka twenty-one. It's a great learning tool as well. So for beginners to experienced players this is a good tool, or app to learn from or just pass the time. It's settings include card-counting, the option to have advise, the option to have more than one deck (up to eight), and more. All of these allow for self learning and entertainment with a positive twist. I've had this app since this past spring break (2014) and it has done me nothing but good. The ads aren't a problem if you enjoy the game as much as I do.

Free
Free means free not needing to top up with real $ !!!!
Good free game
I enjoy this game.
Blackjack
Addicting, but fun, if you can get past the ads. Also I seem to get beat by one point quite often. Seems that the "house" has pretty good luck. Only other thing I noticed it seems to have a glitch, I made it to the highest round quickly, but it offered me to make cookies?!?... In return I was offered 700 tokens. Well it got stuck in that mode and from 3,000 tokens I kept loading until I had 150,000+ tokens. I got bored with the free tokens, but had to shut down the app to make it stop giving me 700 tokens at a time. But it's done it several times since then. Needs a tweek or something.

I’ve tried them all and this is the best Black Jack game for iOS
Great, fast paced game with realistic odds and solid, stable game play. Yes, chips are purchased in game but they’re cheap. Like $1.99 gets 5,000. I purchased $2 worth last September and have played for over a year on them.
Now you can play for free too. The game will give you 200 chips free every 4 hours too so it’s not solely pay to play. If you stay on the beginner table those chips would be more than enough bank to play an hour or more each day.
Summary: top shelf Black Jack game. It’s well written, well maintained with regular updates. It’s cheap and/or free to play depending on your style of play. (beginner vs high roller).

Great App
This a good app. Can play lots for free. Allows you to change number of decks as well. The app often has special prizes for certain accomplishments as getting 21 on a table.
