Designed as a serious practice tool for novices and pros, and playable as a Blackjack game.
Many beginners are intimidated by counting because it is difficult at the start. Eventually it becomes second nature. But even then, most players are intimidated by more advanced play. It is difficult to get started and to know if the advanced techniques are used correctly. This app focuses on moving step by step to progress over time.
Strategies: This app supports High-Low (Hi-Lo, HILO). There are two sets of charts for dealer hits soft 17, and dealer stands soft 17. Charts are 100% editable.
Drills: Playing the game is fun, but drills are where you nail down accurate play. Numerous options are provided for each drill. For all levels of players - novice through pro.
Optimize your time: Hands are not thrown at you completely randomly. More difficult hands are presented more often. You can be drilled on four-card hands, which are substantially more difficult than two-card hands. For counting practice, the shoe can be biased toward a positive or negative count to increase difficulty.It will remember errors you have made and present you with those hands. Speeds can be increased beyond the speed of human dealers. These features are designed to make better use of your time.
