unBlackjack is a real blackjack game built for the phone in your hand. A proper six-deck shoe, a dealer who plays by the book, and nothing between you and the next hand. THE RIGHT PLAY, WHEN YOU ASK Unsure whether to hit, stand, double or split? Ask, and unBlackjack shows the mathematically correct move for your hand against the dealer's upcard. It never nags and never interrupts. Over time, basic strategy starts to feel natural. A TABLE WORTH COMING BACK TO • A real shoe, dealt and reshuffled the way a casino deals it • A dealer who follows the house rules every hand • House rules you can set to match the table you plan to play • Ivory cards on deep green felt, with a calm, quiet table • A clear result and a clear payout after every hand KNOW WHERE YOU STAND Your bankroll and session result sit at the top of the table. Test an approach for a hundred hands and see what it actually did. If the bankroll runs dry, a free top-up is always one tap away, with no ad attached. BUILT FOR IPHONE AND IPAD The table is laid out for both, in the same refined design. FREE TO PLAY Every hand and every feature is free, supported by ads. A single $6.99 purchase removes the ads for good. There is no subscription, nothing renews, and there is nothing to cancel.
