In terms of appearance and interface this certainly isn’t the most smooth/pretty blackjack app to use, but for realism it can’t be beat. I’ve never actually gambled in a casino but I had no problem turning $500 in fake money into $80,000 using other apps, so I wanted to find one that would actually give me a realistic view of what I could expect sitting down at a real table. So far I’ve been playing for 3 days and my initial $500 has gotten as high as $2100 and as low as $50, while spending most of the time hovering back and forth between being a little in the black and a little in the red. I’m learning a lot from the training tools as well - glad I made this purchase.
One thing I have found frustrating in the app though is the betting interface. In all other apps I’ve used the default functionality is that if you bet $100 on a hand, then it will just bet $100 on every hand until you change what you’re wanting to wager. In this app though that functionality only works if you lose a hand. If you win, your next bet becomes your last bet plus the winnings from that hand (so a $100 bet would become a $200 bet on the next hand if you win). That means if you want to just bet $100 every time, when you win you have to move the $200 into your chip pile, then drag another $100 chip in as your bet. If you only cash out your winnings then forget to place a new bet for the next hand a computer player takes your place and you have to watch the round and wait for the next hand. I’ve been through all of the options (which are numerous) multiple times and I’ve found no way to get the app to just bet the same amount on every hand. One frustrating aspect of an otherwise great simulator!
