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 helps you move step by step to improve over time.
Supported Strategies: Currently has presets for HI-LO, KO, OK, REKO, FELT, and 3 other customs for you to configure from scratch. Configure the card count values (tags), insurance indexes, initial running count (for unbalanced), and chart indexes. Two sets of charts for dealer stands or hits on soft 17. Charts are 100% editable. Supports true count (balanced) or running count (unbalanced) strategies. No side-counts.
Optimize your time: Hands are not thrown at you randomly. More difficult hands are presented more often. You can be drilled on three and four-card hands, which are substantially more difficult than two-card hands. The shoe can be biased toward a positive count to increase difficulty. Speeds can be increased beyond the speed of human dealers. These are some of the features designed to make better use of your time.
