### 1/5 — Rigged

*2025-08-25*

Games rigged mf pulled 9 card 21

### 1/5 — Screw all day long

*2016-11-28, version 6.1*

Been screwing people over lately? More like all the time.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP.. Or do if you want to buy coins every 5 seconds

### 1/5 — Unbelievable

*2016-02-19*

Unbelievable rubbish that is. 
Purports to follow the rules of the game , but doesn't. 
Twist and you're guaranteed to get a 10 or picture card. 
Stick and the dealer will equal your score or beat it by 1. 
I've had three of the SAME card on screen. 
The dealer shows his cards before the player if he's got a Pontoon. 
The amount of five card tricks and pontoons won by the dealer is about 20 times that of the player - not statistical or random at all.

Added on 16 July : I don't know why , but I've just downloaded the 'upgraded' app and it's as abysmal as the original. 
This app is just a con to get you to purchase more chips.

Updated on 7 August : Heres how ridiculously one-sided this app is :-
Played 47 , lost 47 . Of those 47 games , the dealer had 11 pontoons , 7 five card tricks , and beat me on twists on 19 games. The rest I was bust.

This app is just a con to get you to spend money on more coins - like all Code Redman apps .

### 5/5 — Sparky!!

*2016-01-23, version 6.0.1*

Great app. I have played a few hundred hands and have purchased only my original chips. The game plays realistically. (Hello. The dealer will kick your butt from time-to-time). Stick to the tables with crafty exception and have a good betting strategy and you'll be chips ahead. Love this app.

### 1/5 — SCAM- this game eats chips like a cow eats grass

*2015-12-26*

Wow the not so subtle game of "buy more chips, you rube". 
I was drawn to the game by good graphics. I moved in closer and read the negative reviews, because all the positive reviews say nothing or created by the developers saying nothing also. I wanted to see what to look out for while playing. Next I go to the not so secret, "Cash Cows Milk aka in app purchases". Because nothing says "here's our developers game plan of wealth" more than this. I mean if it weren't important than they wouldn't offer- right?
Theirs is chips, chips and unlimited chips. So if it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck . . . 
So I started out small, won a couple of bets slowly building my chips. Waited for the next reshuffle and bet a couple of 500 hands ( won them ) and went back down in chip bets the further I got away from the shuffle.  After the next reshuffle I was up over 3k. I bet 1k the next 3 hands and the dealer pulls 3 blackjack in a row 
(Wow when do you see that in Vegas?). I'm down to scraps which I lose also. But wait HELP in on the way in a form of an ad. I could be delivered from my predicament, in a not so subtle ad to "buy more chips, you rube". Unfortunately I wasn't that rube. 
Now I love the rich graphic animation the way the cards are dealt. But no casino ambiance or lite music soundtrack, just the shuffling of cards being dealt. No choices of card decks ( I believe they use one deck, really?? How about 1-10 ) nor any customization of rule preferences. I didn't see a chip reload button cuz again rubes will pay. But I just deleted their game plan. 
Look when some developers get an idea, oh like, let's make a BJ  game with rich animated graphics with casino ambience and possibly decent music soundtrack. With true to life card probabilities based on deck count and user rule choices 
And NO chip repurchase program for cash but rather a re-chip button with a fair amount (1K) so I could ply my magic honing my skills or go broke trying and retrying. WOW, what a novel business plan, instead of raking our customers, we build the better "mouse trap". And if you don't know what that gets you, just google "better mousetrap" . 
Call me crazy cuz after all I am ONENUTJOB. 
Anyone listening, Bueller. . . Bueller??

### 4/5 — Probably the Best

*2015-10-05, version 6.0.1*

One of the easiest interfaces of any BlackJack game you will find. A very well done game/app . My only complaint is that this is not Egghead Software and the year is not 1995 so $19.99 for unlimited coins it should be more like $9.95 or less . This is 2015. However Kudos to the Developers .

### 4/5 — Black Jack

*2015-09-11, version 6.0.1*

Great graphics but I'm thinking the game may have a dealer advantage. Dealer gets 21 way too often.

### 5/5 — Like it a lot

*2015-09-11*

One of the least annoying blackjack apps. I've played for months without buying a single chip. It's fast which I like. A real table will also take your money too if you don't have basic strategy down. I also like single deck, it's easier to keep count. Winner winner chicken dinner.

### 3/5 — Just as Annoying as Las Vegas

*2015-05-01*

Just like Vegas, odds are not in player's favor. Too many 12s and 13s -- taking another card is invariably a face card, unless you're the dealer. No matter how good your hand is, the dealer almost always has one card better.  Pushing at 21 is the frosting on the cake!

### 3/5 — Too many dealer wins

*2015-02-19, version 6.0.1*

Not random stats. Stacked to sell chips
