Want to improve your blackjack skills? Make a big killing in your next casino trip? This is a game to train you to be proficient in the basic strategy table of blackjack. This strategy is the most important thing that you should know about blackjack before playing. Following the table will give you the best move (Hit, Stand, Double Down or Split) statistically, given you do not have any knowledge on the distribution of the rest of the cards in the decks. The strategy is only based on the dealer's card and your cards in a round. You will not need to count or memorize cards (Counting cards or memorizing cards will be a more advanced strategy). Inside the app, there is a "Show Strategy Table" button which shows the basic strategy table. We also have added a leaderboard and some achievements in the Play Center, so play hard and try to be the number one among your friends or in the world! This basic strategy is for the most common settings you will find in casinos - 4-6 decks of cards, dealer stands on soft 17, double allowed after split. There are variations to this basic strategy, depending on the number of decks used, whether the dealer hits or stands on a soft 17, and whether double down is allowed after split or not, whether surrender is allowed or not, etc. If this app is popular, we will definitely include these variations in the next update. The free version will have ads popping up from time to time. The in-app purchase of the app will disable the ads. Hit! Stand! Double Down! Split! Hope you would enjoy this game!
