Perfect app for honing your Blackjack chops and and really getting that "basic strategy" down pat. particularly while using the chart and or card in conjunction with basic strat. All the neat little features like the achievements and the different options that enhance the gameplay as you see fit makes for a rewarding experience that offers an addicting incentive to play as often as possible. The single solitary disagreeable attribute is of course being interrupted by the ads. No one enjoys being yanked out of the zone and bombarded with an epilepsy inducing waist of time. However, That being said, you have to acknowledge the fact that it's anything but uncommon and as far as ads go, it could be much worse. In the end I say the pros far outweigh the cons to the point at which the latter seems negligible so I still give this app 5 stars. Nice work GreenPanda! 👍🏻🤓

This is my 3rd review of this game. I sang its praise the first time, then slammed it the second for the intrusive commercials and how they take over the screen. So is the 3rd time a charm. A resounding yes❗. With the time and energy put into the gameplay, graphics and options, I felt this game deserved one more chance. Things seem to level out with things like how many times I'm dealt a 13 or 12, with the dealer always seeming to have a face card ending up with a 20. However with the daily incentives and finding the personality of the game (almost like the feeling you get from a dealer) things seem to level out. I have dumped all other blackjack games and now have this loaded on my two iPads and my iPhone. Game play is the same, beautiful and smooth. My few small gripes and why I didn't give a fifth star. 1) I wish the game would sync in Game Center, so when I switch devices, I can pickup where I left off. After reaching a very high lever on the iPad I only use at home. My travel iPad mini 4, game level starts from scratch. I would gladly pay for this feature. 2) I would like the option to turn off the announcer saying "BlackJack". The cash register ring is okay. So 4 stars for now. I can't put this game down.

I liked how it’s both colorful and straight forward. Since I’ll be staring at the same table, it’s nice that it’s straightforward and easy on the eyes. I use this app mainly for practice so I like that you can change game options and also for to different places once your chip count is high enough. I honestly enjoy challenging my card counting and basic strategy skills without the pressure of losing actual money. This ones a keeper!

This is one of the better blackjack apps I've tried. It doesn't have an "all-in" option that is easily accidentally pressed, the full-screen ads only show up every once in a while, and this app (seemingly) uses actual decks that get shuffled when the cut card is reached as opposed to certain other apps which randomize each hand. (This paragraph is not valid.) There is a bug which happens whenever I split on a pair of Aces - for each of my new subsequent hands, the game automatically "stands" on both, no matter what each of their totals are. Minor bug, though. CORRECTION: What I thought was a bug is actually just standard blackjack rules, so no bugs after all.

This is a great and fun game, but there are a few things that are pretty annoying. For instance, if you are a beginner and you run out of chips, there is pretty much no way for you to get more unless you buy them. You can watch a video to earn chips, but it only lets you watch a video once and a while. Also, the game is pretty much rigged. Most of the time, you lose because the other player always has the best card order. If you are lucky, you might win a good couple times, but there is no skill involved in this game.😐

This app is fun but sometimes it's a complete joke. You may have finished a hand, go back to the main menu, exit the app, but when you come back you're missing chips. Sometimes there's a decrease in chip count which doesn't make sense. The dealer gets a lot of blackjacks, Aces, and face cards which doesn't make sense and is not real. When I'm out of chips, or I come back and find I no longer have any, I just delete the app and redownload it. I even contemplate never getting it again but I always come back.

The app has awesome presentation, the achievements are a really great feature, and honestly this app is the best looking and best feeling blackjack games on the app store. However, I can’t help but to feel cheated every time I play blackjack on this app. The dealer is constantly making 5 or 6 card 21’s, while as the player it’s almost impossible to not bust even if it’s just a 12. Want to hit a 16 and make a 21? Download a different app, wont even happen 1 out of 100 times. And I know Blackjack is not a game that has any advantage towards the player but even the app’s own statistics show that I’m getting beat by the dealer 70% of the time and I have sank 10 hours into this game. I play perfect basic strategy and losing 70% of the time is not even close to what the odds actually are. I know the developers of this app want people to pay for it’s absurdly priced chips but who would pay for that when the algorithm is so heavily skewed in the dealers favor? Fix the cards and we’re talking a 9.5/10 must have app but currently I’d say it’s about a 5.5/10.

The layout is very good. Not cluttered. But it needs three improvements 1) When the dealer has a card value of 10 showing and an Ace facing down (blackjack) and after asking if you want insurance, the game should automatically end at that point. The best a player can do is a ‘push’ otherwise the player automatically loses. Instead the game lets you keep making draws leading you to think you might win. 2) Whenever you draw a pair of Aces and split them, you only get one more card for each Ace. Any other split allows for more than one card to draw. 3). When you get a two cards to have a value of 10 each, you are asked if you want to split. E.g., a King and a Jack, or a 10 and a Queen, etc. Your’e only supposed to split a matched pair. If these three things could be fixed, I would rate the game 4 maybe 5 stars. It is still tilted toward the developer so that you will buy chips. That I understand, because that is how the developer makes money for his/her development efforts.

I didn't want to seem to come across as just being a novice sore loser by saying that the algorithm in this game seemed rigged, but after reading other reviews by veteran players, that seems to be the case. What others say is true. Like constantly losing to 21 when you have a 20. Being pushed in the same scenario or constantly going over 21 when you hit when you have 2 cards that equal 14. The positives are that the cities you unlock have a nice subtle aesthetic, and unlocking achievements are fun. Just be prepared to lose a lot to ridiculous odds. Because the cards are literally stacked against you.

What the hell? Do all these #%*$ blackjack apps use the same lousy algorithm? I'm a veteran blackjack player and this game is ridiculously unrealistic. Here's how 80% of hands go: you are dealt a hand between 12 and 16. If you hit, you get a face card and bust. Like, every time. If you hold, the dealer beats you. Over and over again. Also, blackjacks are rare -- unless you're the dealer; he gets five to every one you get. And don't bother doubling down; you will lose. In this game you will lose regardless. Bottom line: don't waste your time here. Anyone who gives this app five stars or claims that it is good practice for the casino blackjack has never played casino blackjack.

I didn’t want to sound like a sore loser, but read a few reviews and saw others are saying the same thing: I’ve noticed that you can bet small amounts and win all the time, but the second you start betting large bets you lose 15 times in a row to where you lose all your chips and have to “buy” to keep playing. I’ve tested it out and whenever you start betting large bets, the dealer always gets blackjack or to 21, 20 or anything higher than you numerous times in a row. Never seen that on a real table. Also, you seem to always lose when you have 20. I split a split and lost to 21 3 times in a row. That just can’t happen. Sorry, not a sore loser but that’s just not possible. Also, there’s just no way a dealer can get blackjack as often as the dealer does. I’d say 70% or more of the time the dealer gets it. It’s a fun game when you bet small, just don’t think you’ll ever get to win big cause they need you to buy chips to keep their game going.

I hate to be one of “those people” who claims a game cheats. But there is no way in the world that the player can draw a 10 card 99% Of The time when hitting on a soft anything. I can understand it happening sometimes. I would even buy that it happens half the time. But for me to be able to predict like clockwork every time I have an ace showing that if I hit, I will get a 10 card means something is VERY fishy. Also it seems strange that if the dealer is showing a ten card and I am showing 15, the dealers second card flips to be another 10 card a disproportionately high percentage of the time (about 90%). They may claim that it is fair and random, but mathematically, for these combinations to happen this often is extremely suspect. Say it ain’t so, but the game cheats.

It's an ok game if you're not serious about gambling, but if you are, DON'T get this game. It's very unrealistic. I've played at casinos a countless number of times and this game is not even close to being accurate. The dealer shows a busy card maybe 15% of the time, but never busts when he shows it. He shows 10 about 85% of the time. The dealer RARELY gets under 20. He gets black jack probably 60% of the time. Gets 20 the rest. Just unrealistic and the dealer is very hard to beat. I've had 11 a countless number of times and doubled down, and have yet to get a 10 to hit 21. This game is mediocre at best if you are bored, but don't download it if you're serious about black jack even a little. Very disappointing game.

Once again...out of the last 30 hands I have lost 25 times. Weird how I always lose when I max bet but when I minimum bet I’ll win every once in a while. I was at $350,000 chips and I’m down to $124,000 in a span of about 20 minutes. I know how to play so I’m not mad for no reason. Blackjack machines are normally rigged and this app proves it. Developer probably wants users to get their chips through microtransactions. I won’t be fooled. Real blackjack at a real table has way better odds then this BS algorithm y’all have come up with. When the computer busts maybe 3-4x out of 30 hands, while drawing the perfect cards to get consistent 18s, 19s, and 20s, then there’s no shot at winning any chips. Uninstalled.
