It has an easy-to-use strategy guide that shows the correct move for every combination of hands. Blackjack 101 allows you to adjust the playing rules to match conditions commonly found in casinos, including the number of decks in the shoe, the dealer's action on a soft 17, doubling rules, and surrender. It also allows you to focus your training on the trickier hands: pairs and soft hands. Plus it has both a left- and right-handed layout, to make it easy to play with one hand or two.

Features: - Four learning modes: random hands, soft hands, pairs, and a new Custom mode: choose any combination of hands to practice. - Skill levels: Higher levels concentrate your training on the harder-to-memorize hands - Strategy guide shows all the best moves and highlights the strategy for the current hand and dealer card - Left-handed and right-handed playing layouts - Many different rule configurations (1-4 decks, dealer hits/stays on soft 17, double after split, early/late surrender) - Keeps track of your stats: hands played, choices made, and percent of correct guesses
