## What is Blackjack Forge?

Blackjack Forge — get genuinely better at blackjack.

Most blackjack apps are slot machines in disguise: ads, chip economies, and pay-to-keep-playing. Blackjack Forge is the opposite — an honest trainer that measures your real play against the dealer and coaches you toward sharper decisions.

PLAY FOR REAL (VIRTUALLY)
Sit down, set your stakes, and play hands against the dealer with a virtual bankroll. It's a measuring stick — never real money, and no chips to buy, ever.

TWO WAYS TO MEASURE PROGRESS
• Skill — every decision is graded against basic strategy, so you see exactly how sharp you play.
• Dollars — your virtual bankroll tracks whether your play would actually win money.

SEE — AND FIX — YOUR WEAK SPOTS
Forge pinpoints the exact hands you misplay (like "Hard 16 vs 10") and shows where you slip, so you stop quietly giving money away at the table.

PRACTICE THAT STICKS
Drill specific situations stakes-free — pairs, soft hands, hard totals, or a holistic mix — with instant feedback on every decision. Forge Plus adds Adaptive practice that targets your real weak spots.

THE TABLE YOU ACTUALLY PLAY
Switch rule sets — Vegas S17/H17, single & double deck, surrender, even the 6:5 "trap" table — and the strategy, chart, and grading all follow.

HONEST BY DESIGN
No ads. No chips to buy. No pay-to-continue. Free to play and learn; Forge Plus unlocks the depth (adaptive practice, all-time stats & weak spots, every table) — never the right to keep playing.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-08-28

What's new in 1.2

• Smoother play — the table, coaching hints, and hand results stay put between hands instead of
  shifting around.
• Change tables right from the Play screen — tap the table name to switch the game without opening
  Settings.
• A cleaner New Table Session screen that fits on screen, with the Start button always reachable.
• Various fixes and polish.

### 1.1 — 2026-08-20

What's new in 1.1

• Clearer tables — every game now shows a plain-English description and its house edge, so you can spot a bad table (like 6:5) at a glance.
• Set your stakes separately from the rules — choose Low, Standard, High-Limit, or a Custom min/max on any table.
• Sharper strategy accuracy for single- and double-deck games.
• Redesigned insurance & even-money prompt so it's clear when to decline.
• Better stats & history — total sessions, average hands per session, hand counts on past sessions, and a bigger session result.
• Polish and fixes throughout.

### 1.0 — 2026-08-10
