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. ### 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 ### 2/5 — グー *2014-12-08* comがBJ多すぎ ### 3/5 — Black jack 88 *2014-09-03, version 6.0.1* Yes the dealer wins too!! much......... ### 2/5 — Frustrating *2014-04-07, version 5.0.2* Agree with others who say odds are off. Dealer wins too much. Did not change after I bought unlimited chips. Good interface with bad odds. Too frustrating to play very long. ### 4/5 — Overall good *2013-06-14* Easy to use. Clean setup and gameplay. Have had a couple instances where the dealer hits miracle 21's and blackjacks in a row but overall I like it a lot. ### 4/5 — Blackjack *2013-05-17* The blackjack game is fun to play but is rigged in the dealers favor, especially when a person is starting with the minimum amount. There is no such thing as a player hot streak. ### 5/5 — Great app for blackjack *2013-04-11, version 4.6.1* Excellent blackjack app for experienced players. Simple and elegant. ### 5/5 — Solid app for intermediate players *2013-04-10, version 4.6.1* No instruction for beginners, but realistic gameplay for a two-deck shoot. ### 3/5 — Rigged *2013-04-06* Very unlikely for the dealer to get blackjack 3 times in a row ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 . ### 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?? ### 1/5 — Don't spend your own money *2014-09-09* It is quite enjoyable, but very frustrating. Anyone who spends their own money is going to be badly out of pocket. The luck the dealer has is beyond reality. If you double, you inevitably get a low card and you can't twist again. If you split, you inevitably again get low cards and you can't twist again. The dealer will beat you by 1, probably 90% of the time. 5 card tricks don't get you anything. You can't split aces. The game is fixed, but with just enough rope to get you hooked if you're not careful. You can win, but it will soon take it back off you. You can't second guess this game, and you certainly can't count cards as the deck shuffles seem very random. My suggestions for anyone interested in this game, play with the free 250 chips that you can get every 20 minutes, but put it down if you lose them and play something else for 20 minutes. DO NOT SPEND YOUR OWN MONEY!!!!! ### 1/5 — Too much! *2013-12-28* Dealer has Blackjack or hits to 21 at an abnormally high rate. Also has 20 to the players 12 at an abnormally high rate. Of course your strategy is to sell chips so that's acceptable I guess - I would only hope those who do but chips aren't faced with those odds. I'm not willing to take the chance to find out! ### 1/5 — Dealer *2013-12-01, version 5.0.2* Very bad...most frustrating app ever made,,, just rig ,buy chips, even the shuffling is ?.... ### 1/5 — I counted the cards *2013-06-24, version 5.0* You know the old saying, "read and weep", this app is crooked. I thought I kept seeing too many **** so I counted cards. After the third *** duplicated, I knew I had not made a mistake. All users that think this a great game and it is just the house, count the cards. Looking for an honest game. ### 1/5 — Black jack *2012-12-21, version 4.6* The game is fix that the dealer wins almost all the time, there is no way to beat the dealer and it is not fun to lose all the time, please allow the player a fair chance to win once in a while ### 1/5 — Okay game *2012-12-14, version 4.6* There's still a bug. Sometimes when it deals a hand it deals a hit card whether you want to hit or not. I've had 18 or 19 with the first cards but a third card automatically comes out and puts you over. Please fix. Second request ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2014-01-01, version 5.0.2* Love it like playing in vegas ### 5/5 — Nice app *2013-12-16, version 5.0.2* Good app to pass the time ### 5/5 — Very very realistic! *2013-09-05, version 5.0.1* Moves very snappy too ### 5/5 — Fun *2013-07-19, version 5.0.1* Fun, fast, addicting. ### 5/5 — Good game *2013-05-25, version 5.0* A little unfair !!! ### 5/5 — Great and Userfriendly *2013-05-18, version 5.0* Senior says the game is entertaining and challenging. Great graphics, like being at the BlackJack table at the Casinos. ### 5/5 — Tom_thumb *2013-05-17, version 5.0* Code Redman card games are the best I have played on this iOS smartphone format. This Blackjack game is no exception. Great game. Recent improvements make it even better. ### 5/5 — Fun! *2013-04-15, version 4.6.1* Easy to play! Fun game. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
