High Count is a blackjack trainer for card counting and basic strategy. It teaches you to count cards, drills perfect play, then makes you prove it at a simulated table that never shows you the count. LEARN CARD COUNTING • Swipe — flip through hands at your own pace and keep the running count with the Hi-Lo system. • Count — a full blackjack table flashes for a moment; enter the count you saw. • Adjustable difficulty: deck count, speed, and hand size grow with you as your card counting gets faster. MASTER BASIC STRATEGY • Basic strategy drills for any rule set: S17/H17, DAS, surrender, ENHC. • Deviations mode: the Illustrious 18 and Fab 4, drilled in context by true count — including live insurance decisions. • Instant feedback shows the correct play and why. PROVE IT AT THE TABLE • Play mode: a simulated multi-seat blackjack table with a bankroll, dealer chatter, and natural gestures — tap to hit, wave to stand. • The count is never shown. Think you have it? Check yourself with the count-check dialog and find out. • Optional strategy feedback flags every mistake as you play. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS • Activity heatmap, per-mode accuracy and streak graphs. • Optional free account: your stats sync across devices, and you can add friends and climb the leaderboard. FREE TO TRAIN, PRO TO MASTER • The Swipe card counting drill and your stats dashboard are free, forever. • Every mode is unlocked free for your first 7 days — no payment info asked. • High Count Pro (subscription or one-time lifetime purchase) unlocks the Count and Strategy drills, Play mode, every rule set, your full history, and cross-device sync. High Count is a card counting trainer, not a casino. No real-money gambling, no ads — just deliberate practice for the game within the game.

You can play a hand perfectly and still lose it. Acetique scores the part you control. Every decision you make - hit, stand, double, split, surrender - is graded against basic strategy the moment you make it, on a real six-deck shoe dealt off the top. Your accuracy and your bankroll are tracked separately and never conflated, so you can watch a run of bad luck happen to a perfectly played session. Three ways to train: Test: play for chips and be scored. The whole chart, no narrowing, and the run goes on your record. Practice: the same table with nothing at stake, and you can narrow it to one section of the chart. Learn: no dealing and no settlement, just one decision after another, planned around the cells you have missed or never tried. An honest shoe. Six decks, 312 cards, shuffled properly and dealt off the top, with a cut card that reshuffles between hands and never mid-hand. No rigged streaks, no rubber-banding. See what you don't know. A miss heatmap over the whole chart. Hard totals, soft totals, and pairs. Shows exactly which cells you get wrong and tells you a cell you keep missing apart from one you have never tried. The chart, is always to hand 6-deck, S17, DAS, late surrender, with H17 overrides. It is computed from the same engine that grades you, so what you're taught and what you're scored on cannot drift apart. Progress worth keeping. A hundred levels, ten awards, weekly seasons, and a leaderboard among friends or everyone. Acetique is free and ad-supported, and it plays for chips. The chips are play money: they have no cash value, cannot be bought, and never cash out. There is no way to turn anything in the app into money. When you run out you can watch a short video for more. Acetique is a training tool, not a casino.
