Blackjack Reviews

I’ve played 17,495 hands in this game primarily to see if the theoretical probability of winning match’s up to actual play. I play perfect strategy. Of those 17,495 hands, I’ve won 7609 which is just 43%. Dealer wins 48% and 9% push.
In recent years, I’ve grown frustrated with the dealer winning 10-12 or even 15 hands consecutively. I draw a 19, they draw a 20. I draw 20, they draw 21. The dealer always seems to show 10 or ace more often then they should. Meanwhile if I am dealt 12 or 13, I always draw 10 and bust. There are many hands where you lose no matter what you would do. I understand this does happen, but not 15 out of 20 hands.
This game looks and feels good, but has become a total ripoff.
Do not buy it.

In first 8000 hands, I lost at .77%. When getting to 43,000,000 and betting max I lost at a rate greater than 7%. I studied this app while in college and play exactly what’s necessary to stay within the 1.5% threshold as statistically true. Once you bet at a greater amount and refrain from buying chips, you lose quickly. I’m now greater than a 4% loss after only 2000 more hands. I went from a -37 to -411 in 2000 hands. That’s -374 in 2000 hands when betting max. That’s nearly a 7.5% clip which statistically should be between .5% and 1.5%. Just showing how rigged the algorithm is. I bet max and lost 43,000,000 in just 2000 hands. Most was lost immediately. I saw 1-12 loss streak and 2-11 loss streaks. Also, it seemed as though the dealer got this app about 3 to 1, but I don’t have stats to prove that. Please don’t buy chips. This game is deceptive and misleading, at best. Spend time with your family, instead of this rigged 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. this app machines are normally rigged and Blackjack proves it. Developer probably wants users to get their chips through microtransactions. I won’t be fooled. Real this app 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.

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.

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.

Downloaded for fun and pass the time. Monitored dealt cards... mine vs dealer through 150 plus hands, and all our hits vs standing etc. (winning bout 40% of the hands) I understand that original odds say dealer wins a majority of the times when one on one, but with 4 decks, I should have seen more favorable hands which I didn’t... meaning, 80% of my hands started with 12, 13, 14, or 15 dealt to me... no mans land... standing resulted in losing 75% of those no matter what the dealer did. And with 4 decks I counted ONCE OUT OF 150 plus hands when I was able to take hits of 5 cards, and approx. 30 hands I took a 4 card hit resulting in busting on 25 of those... BTW, I was playing very conservative... I have written these random programs before including roulette etc, and this is written way too much in the favor of the dealer for it to be fun for me. Thanks for the opportunity though, I will try other apps.

After getting incredibly frustrated at the play of this (and why I only play in casinos with human dealers) I deleted Blackjack and redownloaded it to give myself a fresh set of chips. I didn’t care if I won or lost because at this point I was recording the hands. I started with my $2000 finished with $1140 after 100 hands. In my 100 hands, a bust card (4,5,6) appeared 29 times. The dealer busted only 7 times, 4 of which was due to multiple cards drawn, so no EZ bust for those of you who have been to Caesar’s to play. The lowest percent bust card is 4 at 40% bust rate. Somehow Blackjack averages a 24% bust rate across all 3 bust cards and managed to get a 19, 20, or 21 16 times out of the remaining 22 hands. The probabilities are not adding up. Add in the video ads every 15 hands and this game is trash.

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 this app 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 this app 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.

It’s a cool looking app and concept with the different casinos. As a card counter tho I can tell you 100% Blackjack has a weird algorithm once it gets to six decks. Dealer makes 19+ very often. It happens in real casinos, but when the running count is over 11+ the dealer is still getting the high cards. That doesn’t happen in casinos as much as it does in Blackjack. They always try to get you to buy chips too. In other words- I think Blackjack try’s to shake you down. It is fun and challenging, but it can be misleading to newbies. It’ll stay on my phone tho to play on airplanes!
UPDATE: The running count on Blackjack seems to get more in the negative as you get more chips. Now that I’m over 200k chips I can’t get a positive running count. Blackjack doesn’t have a reshuffle option- very sus as the kids say. I would say stick to other this app apps- this one is designed to take your chips and hopefully your real money.

Game looks great and is easy to play. However, 9 times out of 10, if the dealer has a face card facing up, they’ve got another face card facing down. 9 times out of 10, if they have an ace facing up, they’ve got this app. 9 times out of 10, if I’ve got a 12, 13 or 14, my next dealt card is a face card. I know the maxim “the house always wins,” but this is ridiculous! Also, there are too many ads, too frequently, that go on too long. In short, a frustrating experience. I often find myself “hate- playing” it, getting more worked up every time I correctly predict any of the above outcomes, which happen ALL THE TIME.

Blackjack has awesome presentation, the achievements are a really great feature, and honestly Blackjack is the best looking and best feeling this app games on Blackjack store. However, I can’t help but to feel cheated every time I play this app on Blackjack. 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 this app is not a game that has any advantage towards the player but even Blackjack ’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 Blackjack 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.

I play this game a lot it’s pretty dope legit and it seems like the cards are shuffled. So the only thing that I don’t like about this game is one, for some reason if I bet $10 several times those chips will disappear and it will not let me keep betting $10 and want me to bet higher amounts like 20. So I don’t like that I also don’t like the game being a bit zoomed out since I played us several hours a day every day sometimes while driving, probably shouldn’t but I do and it’s easy to play then gears it’s a bit zoomed out the chips are a bit small to click on, but everything else is pretty legit

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 (this app) 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.

Visuals are great, play is simple and intuitive, odds are nowhere near realistic. Playing basic strategy, doubling bets on losses, and then resetting to minimum should keep you at a table for hours like it does in real life. In Blackjack, minimum bets will get you realistic hands, while larger bets seem to favor the dealer nine out of ten times, regardless of the hands on the table. The larger the bet, the more likely it is that the dealer will push or win on a 4, 5, or 6, even if the player is on a 17 or better. And the losses keep coming as the bets increase. So trying to recoup losses to break even by doubling leads to a dozen losses in a row and either bumping up against the max bet or just going bankrupt. This algorithm is likely in place to force microtransactions, but it just becomes frustrating; so I end up playing to break even and then not playing again for a few days. Probably going to delete it soon, which is a shame because everything else about it is great.

This is one of the better this app 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 Blackjack (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 this app 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.😐

Blackjack is fun but sometimes it's a complete joke. You may have finished a hand, go back to the main menu, exit Blackjack , 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 Blackjack and redownload it. I even contemplate never getting it again but I always come back.

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 Blackjack 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!

I’ve seen a lot of reviews complaining but I’m convinced their just sore losers if u count the cards the decks are legit and the w/l rate seems accurate to any other this app I’ve played. fun way to practice with daily rewards so you never have to spend real money and upgraded casinos so there’s a feeling of progression through the game. Just understand this is like a simulation it’s not real gambling I saw reviews of people saying they got ripped off u don’t have to spend money to play u start with 2k and there’s daily rewards so you’ll never have to spend real money to play and if u thought u could cash out this much free money ur just a fool that prolly should be playing slots if gambling at all.

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 this app 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 "this app". The cash register ring is okay. So 4 stars for now. I can't put this game down.

Perfect app for honing your this app 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 Blackjack 5 stars. Nice work GreenPanda! 👍🏻🤓
