Practice blackjack and improve your strategies. Overview: The rules of blackjack are simple. Your goal is to get your deck of cards as close as you can to 21 without going over. Ace cards can be worth either 1 or 11 points. Jack, King, and Queen cards are worth 10 points. Numbered cards 2-10 are worth their value. Your turn: On your turn, you can choose from four options. Hit - When you hit, you are delt a card. Careful, remember you do not want to exceed 21. Double - Think you have a good chance of winning if you are delt one card more? Double your bet and the dealer will give you exactly one more card. Stand - This action will keep your cards as is and the dealer will take their turn. Split - If you have two of the same card values, then you can choose to split your hand into two decks, and another card will be dealt to each. You can then perform the above actions on each of those decks. Dealer's turn: The dealer will then take their turn by revealing/dealing cards until it reaches a value greater than or equal to 17. Outcomes: You win if: - Your card count is greater than the dealer's (player bust). - The dealer's hand count exceeds 21. - Blackjack! Your first two cards total 21 (and the dealer does not also have a blackjack) The dealer wins if: - Your card count if greater than 21 (dealer bust). - The dealer's card count is greater than yours. If there is a tie in the player card count and dealer card count, you have a push and bets are returned. If you win, you get your bet back times 2. If you lose, the house takes your bet. Blackjacks result in 1.5 times the amount you bet.

Sharp 21 is the most serious blackjack training app on the App Store. Built for players who want to walk into a casino prepared, not just entertained. BASIC STRATEGY TRAINER Master every decision at the table. Select your exact rule set — H17 or S17, DAS, surrender rules, blackjack payout — and drill hands with instant, non-blocking feedback. Every hand plays out completely: you hit, split, double down, the dealer draws, and the outcome resolves. A subtle flash tells you the moment you make a wrong call, but the hand keeps going — just like a real table. After each hand, review exactly what you got wrong and why. Track your chip balance with flat bets, build accuracy streaks, and let the Mistake Journal pinpoint your weak spots so you can focus where it matters. CARD COUNTING SIMULATOR Configure every detail of your practice environment: number of decks, dealer rules, deck penetration, counting checkpoints, base bets, and bet spreads. Choose from preset spreads (Conservative, Moderate, Aggressive, Wong Out) or build a custom spread unit by unit. Practice maintaining a running count, converting to true count, and sizing your bets correctly — all under configurable casino noise events like early shuffles and pit boss distractions. Toggle the running count display on or off as a learning scaffold. THE SHARP — ROGUELITE MODE A roguelite that turns basic strategy decisions into a scoring engine. Earn Chips x Multiplier for correct plays, build Rush streaks for escalating multipliers, and collect from a pool of 46 unique modifiers across draft picks and shop purchases. Beat escalating blinds across shoes, manage risk-reward modifiers like Glass Cannon and Loan Shark, and chase your highest run. No card counting required — The Sharp is accessible to every player and endlessly replayable.
