Blackjack 21: Blackjackist Reviews

Hi Kama I just wanna say how much I enjoy playing your game its one of my all time favorites and I play it at least once every day. However there are a few things that I believe need to be adjusted and one of them is the face card (10-king) to normal card (Ace-9) ratio. The amount of face cards I get in blackjack is almost crazy. I cannot tell you how many times I've had a 12 and have hit (draw another card) only to get either a 10, king, queen, or jack card which pushes my total to 22 making me bust and loose the hand and the money that I bet on the hand.
I know you guys say you have a random card generator but cmon this is not random, getting hands below 15 and when you draw another card only to get a card whose value is 10. Not to mention when ever the dealer shows their first card and it ends up being a card whose value is 10 there’s a sure chance that their other card also has the value of 10 making the value of their hand 20 which is a extremely hard hand to beat unless you have a 21 which you either get by getting a blackjack or drawing enough cards to get you value to 21 without busting which the chances of happening are pretty low. I wanna play a game where thats not the thought I'm faced with whenever I see the dealer draw a certain card.
I ask that you please look into this as I’m sure im not the only person saying something about this occurring thing. Anyway I hope you all have a wonderful day!

This game would be great if they weren’t constantly trying to sell you something with nonstop sale promotion pop-ups. You can barely see the screen or get to where you want to go without them stopping you and reminding you of a ‘very special offer’ or sale. Really really annoying. Also the algorithm for the randomness of the cards is off and favors dealers in all of the games. It’s a constant push for you to be put in a position where you need to make an actual purchase with real cash. In many of the reviews the response by the developer is that they do not interfere with the game and everything is 100% random. However simply playing the game and listening to multiple upon multiple reviews it appears that either the algorithm or direct interference is actually happening and favoring the house. So don’t buy their story about not interfering in the game or giving the house the advantage with their algorithm. It’s a straight up lie and It’s NOT random. Remember, all of these “free” apps are designed to get you involved to some degree so you end up getting hooked and eventually make a small purchase. Once you’ve ‘broken the ice’, it’ll be much easier for you to allow yourself to make a slightly larger purchase, or multiple purchases of varying sizes. These apps are meant to make money for the developers. They are designed to take your money. The game is secondary to the first goal. Keep that in mind. Greedy and annoying!

So I play Blackjack21 alot, someone could make a slight argument that I probably play the slot machines to much lol, so I have been seeing a trend that is definitely an issue, so once I start winning a lot and getting on a hot slot machine , it will act like I went in and out of service , the slot machine will sit there and spin and it says trying to connect ....it will do this for probably 5 seconds but than automatically says couldn’t connect to server , reconnecting to slot ..... and it always reconnects right away BUT I never win on that spin , so I lose my spin and the chips . Is the kicker is from time to time when I do go in and out of service this EXACT thing happens , but as soon as I get service it always reconnects me and I finish my spin out just like normal , winning some of these times and losing some as well. So I really started noticing this when it would happen I would look at my service and it would be completely full, absolutely not bad service , and even though I had perfect service it never would reconnect either which tells me that someone on the other end is interrupting my game to throw my a lot machine out of whack , ex’s use it never fails whenever this happens I go on a huge losing streak . If anyone out there plays slots too , high limits let me know if you are seeing this and if not watch for it .

The developers clam this is a fair game but they are just blowing smoke. I have played over 900 hands and maybe won 50. At first I put it off as having a bad nigh. Then I put it off as having 2 bad nights. Now I am putting it off as if you do not put real money in for fake chips you might as well stop playing. I was playing a jackpot slots and you have to get stars to win the jack pot. I started the round and played it to the end. My self and 2 other people where leading the jackpot round then all of a sudden we stopped getting stars and dropped ranks rapidly. In the end I had 68 stars to the winners 300+ (who was a guest player by the way). I have yet to win any of the tournament. For that matter I have yet placed. You could say it’s because I don’t know how to play poker. Well I have been playing for approximately 10 years in casinos and privet games. Then they have split bet poker. It could be a really fun game if you knew how to play. Their instructions are very vague. I spent 2 day learning by losing. Then when I think I have figured it out I find out the really hard way I was wrong. Blackjack “21” now this is a rigged game. The higher you move up in rank the faster you will loss. Let’s just say I have never seen a dealer get 21 4 hands in a row. Well that is until I played this game. My final thoughts is this love all the options and realistic graphics (not chances to win) but if you are playing to win don’t count on it.

Hey developers, how about if you stop with your canned cut and paste response, and proactively make this a more enjoyable experience for us players. We know we can’t win every time, but it’s definitely not enjoyable to know your ‘dealer’ will almost always get the best hand, without question.

Players will find out rather quickly, that these developers definitely want you to buy more chips. The only one that wins consistently is the dealer. The dealer turns blackjack more than any of the three players at the table. If an Ace is showing, it’s a high probability that she has blackjack. I’ve been at tables where the dealer is the ONLY one turning blackjack. When dealer has 10 showing, a very high percentage of time another 10 is turned, or the dealer ends up with a winning hand, usually beating the player with the highest hand by a point. A VERY HIGH PERCENTAGE OF THE TIME!!

I understand developers’ desire is to sell chips. I don’t understand why they don’t do it with fair play. If you pay attention to the cards, you can pretty well guess what the dealer will turn, because the game is so very consistently designed to be in the dealer’s favor. Very disappointed. Especially because I believed their “fair play guaranteed” slogan. I don’t believe in coincidences, but the dealer’s hand is very predictable, and usually the winner at the table. Please tweak your algorithms to really allow fair play

First, we must give the developers credit for artistic excellence. The game board, cards, and the dealer are spot on… Although I wish they would change the dealer once in a while wink wink Now the bad part. If an ad pops up offering a certain amount of chips you can’t be sure you’re getting the chips or an offer to make the chips easier to get. I spent $50 to get 360,000 chips, which was triple what I had lost that day, on the pop-up ad. To be clear, the ad stated get three times your losses for $50. Which I paid. But I never got to see the 360,000 chips! Why? Well according to the “customer service person” I was not buying chips, I was buying an event??? I told them at that point I felt cheated and I would like my money back. They said no, and referred me to their website boiler plate that describes why you don’t get your money back from us! I’ve taken the case to my credit card company, Apple, for a refund, or a decision as it is called. I don’t know what to expect but I’m cheated out of my chips and I’m cheated out of my money, unless Apple takes my legally correct stand in this matter. ***Update. After I provided a screenshot describing their offer to me, the support folks decided to provide the purchased chips, citing a misunderstanding of what they thought I purchased. Happy ending. ***

I’ve played blackjack for a very long time, long enough to know when’s somethings up. I’ve played roughly 4000 hands on different devices here and I can tell that there’s a synchronous pattern in the RNG matrix in Blackjack21’s blackjack game that’s allowing more face cards to appear in a game of 2 deck than is physically possible in a game of straight 2 deck blackjack, and that’s all before the cut card is even reached. In the hands I played- The inclusion of the additional 10 values pushed the advantage roughly 18% into the favor of the house and that’s assuming you played flawless basic strategy and didn’t account for the other random non-10 value cards that the RNG may have placed. The RNG isn’t confining itself to the selection of a 2 deck shoe like the display of the game makes you think you’re playing. A good example would be going to a real table and playing 2 deck on an auto shuffler but with 104 random cards rather than 2 complete decks. It’s just for fun (no real money of course) but it would be really cool if an app allowed more realistic game play by screening the RNG (random number generator) to match the perceived 2 deck play shown on screen. I think it’s the game play experience people really want and deserve but Blackjack21 isn’t providing it at the moment.

Okay, I’ve played a lot of card games on mobile and I can say with full certainty that there is no way this is randomly generated. I’m not saying it’s fixed to make a certain person win over another but the hands dealt in blackjack are predictable. If I can predict what card I’m about to get based on what the dealer has just given the two players before me, there is a problem. For instance, the two players before me were both given 4’s, I also received a 4. This has happened over 10 times sitting at one table for about an hour.. those are not likely odds.. as well as all three of us given jacks. 9 out of 10 times I’m able to predict what card I’m getting.. maybe not the second card but definitely the first.. I think you guys need to reconsider what your calling rng and what so called third party has tested this because I’ve played a ton of blackjack in real life and on many many games.. there is no way this is random and it’s pretty disappointing to see you all continue to say people are wrong instead of fixing the issue.. just go through and change it. Isn’t that a fix worth putting time into in order for players to have a good experience? I hope so

Most smooth and sleek poker game I’ve played, but the community is horrible, and I’ll give one main example that basically describes all of it.

So, imagine this... you join a game with 1k buy-in. Having a good time until that one guy starts just going all-in pre flop every time. Turns out that he actually has one billion dollars, but he just joins that table to ruin everyone’s game. So naturally you ask the table why and the MULTIPLE people who all have billions of dollars respond in several different languages, and another guy just randomly tells you to “just shut up and play the game.” Now that last quote 100% happened to me. And don’t let me start on how the other normal players take just about forever to actually play their hand.

This could be fixed by having AFK penalties and making it so that you can only play at a lower table than the last two most expensive tables available for you if you join a friend at that lower table. The language thing could also be simply fixed with regional servers, as probably over half the people you meet won’t speak English.

I play this game a lot. I started off playing solely black jack. Which I quickly gave up because it seems like the dealer wins 75% of the time. So I switched to poker which is fine. The only issue with poker is that most players in tournaments simply go all in every hand, which ruins the game. I actually won’t to play poker and not have to bet my whole hand every time. I know it’s a players right to bet their hand whenever they please but it’s a tad bit excessive on Blackjack21. Further more, I don’t entire believe that the poker games are random at all. I’ve see your comments about using a third party, but if you played a few games you will definitely disagree with the third party. I really do enjoy Blackjack21 though. It’s free and has tons of different games to choose from. I just wish that the games were actually random. The games I play the most are black jack and poker. When it comes to blackjack, there’s been multiple times we’re the dealer hits a 4-7 card 21 and I bust after more than 3 cards. If you could look into the randomness of the each game it would be greatly appreciated. If not I might just have to move on from Blackjack21

I use to play 21 at Vegas casinos way back when all the time (I’m 64). Now with casinos opening up nearby I’m using this and other apps to brush up on my game.

I like Blackjack21 the best. I keep reading how “rigged” it is but I don’t agree. Feels like the real thing to me. By playing my strategy I’m able to keep ahead. As I watch others play I can tell a new generation of players are hitting the tables. I mainly stick to the strategy table as I always have. I see others doing things different, sometimes I think “stupid move” like “ what are they doing?” and then sometimes I see them win by doing that. For instance I never split 10’s but a lot of others do (why give up an almost guaranteed winning hand?).
Blackjack21 takes me to the Vegas casinos of old and seems like a familiar home. I’m on it everyday. Thanks to the Devs.

I have had Blackjack21 since 2019 (so a little over two years now). One of my favorite games used to be the slots, but about 3 or 4 months ago something changed in the programming and it's no fun anymore. A huge part of attracting players is the excitement of winning frequently. If there are 25 or 30 paylines, why does it take 25 or 30 spins just to "win" a measly 200 points? Why does WILD mean nothing? I once wrote and complained to technical support and they said that I was just having a run of "bad luck". What kind of explanation is that?? Today I decided to try out the new slot game -- GHOST HOUSE. I started with 60,000 soared to 109,000 after about 20 spins and a HUGE WIN, but then after about 15 more spins I was back down to where I started! The BONUS wheels are impossible to get, and WILD means absolutely nothing along with the 25 paylines it's supposed to have. And I have to say it's not much different on any of the other slot games. Unless the algorithm is tweaked, I won't be playing slots.

The in-app purchases aren’t bad, unlike some games, they make you feel like you’re getting a decent chunk for pretty cheap. The game is also one of the best of its kind out there, pretty realistic, but it would be nice to speed up some of the slow animations sometimes.

Now for the three stars, when you spend little to no money on the game you really do win a lot, I would only really lose a lot when I got lazy and risky, but it seemed like the more you spend on the game and playing with the same strategy, the more you start losing. Now I know in general I am a pretty unlucky dude so I wouldn’t really put it past misfortune, but I would be very interested in seeing some evidence of this 3rd party RNG audit. I also don’t think it’s a coincidence this is one of the few games that doesn’t show you your gaming stats. I suppose in the developers defense, they gotta make money somehow so I can’t really blame them for whatever they need to do behind closed doors.

No casino in Las Vegas has a maximum bet that won’t allow you to double your minimum bet more than twice after a loss. So, basically, if you lose once on Blackjack21, you can double your next bet and that’s it. Your third bet (assuming a loss) will be less than double, and you’re maxed out. You can’t continue to double your bet on subsequent losses. Can you imagine a casino with a $10 minimum and a $30 maximum? Or a $25 minimum and a $60 maximum? That’s Blackjack21. Most strip casinos in Vegas are $25 min / $10k max. That’s 9 losses with a doubled bet after each before reaching the table max. Yet this game allows only 2. Millions of players use the Martingale Betting System within their comfort level (up to the table max). Blackjack21 appears to concede that it’s random system isn’t legitimate, and, as such, has obscure min/max betting rules. Great graphics and realistic interaction, which is why it gets 2 stars. But don’t expect to get real “practice” with Blackjack21. You’re better off playing cards with your brother’s kids.

I dont leave reviews often. In fact this is the first time Ive ever reviewed an app. This is by far the best casino app I have ever played. It is also the only app I have ever spent money on, especially spending real money to buy fake money to try and win fake money. And, get this, you will win more fake money and play much longer on your free plays than you will on purchased plays. Ive bought plays multiple times not one day, not two days, not 3 days but 4 different days and obviously Blackjack21 owners know a fool when they find one. The game payouts totally change, almost disappear and well they take a very fun game that I even am willing to spend some money on because of the entertainment and they totally screw it up by playing you for a fool. Never again. Not another 99 cents or two dollars and 99 cents nor $4.99 and I laugh at anything higher than those! Why mess up a wet dream? Well this wet dream is terrible! Do not spend your money, y’all!!!!

There’s absolutely no way the Blackjack game isn’t rigged in Blackjack21 regardless of what the developers say.

I’ve been playing this game for a few months and every so often I’ll get a day when every single hand I get is a losing hand. I change tables, I play alone and with others, I change levels, and none of that matters. The dealer will win every hand. I’ll have a 20 or 21 and the dealer will either beat me or push every time. I’ll get a blackjack and the dealer will get one with me or 2 back to back immediately after. The odds of these things all happening continuously and consistently is nil. They just rig the game for you to lose all your chips so you buy more.

I’ve seen other reviewers complain about the same thing. This is a real issue with this game that they need to fix before they start losing their users to other apps. I’m sure this problem can be fixed fairly easily. You want to keep your players engaged with the experience, instead you’re turning them off completely.

I’ve played a lot of bj before and have never had the odds of losing a hand as I have in this game. The dealer can draw 6 cards to 21 and if I try it 100 times I never have that luck, along with the other players. I have found that if I hit when I should have stayed it throws the dealers hand off and they bust but if I wouldn’t have hit the dealer would have hit a 20-21 or at least a push with the other players, that’s if I’m the third to hit or stay, now if I'm the first to hit or stay and do the same the other players hit the cards they needed to win and it throws the dealers hand off but if I wouldn’t have taken that extra card or cards the dealer would have got that 20-21 or made a push out of it. I’m tired of losing just so the other players get fair odds of winning by taking cards just to throw off the stacked deck for the dealer.
Thank you and I wish you would play your own game and see if it’s not true. Respectfully, Torn Apart

Blackjack21 is actually very well designed and a lot of fun at first but trust me after a while playing you will want to be betting higher and higher amounts and the game has EXTREMELY aggressive micro transactions. For example if you lose all your money playing a game, you automatically get double or even triple the money for the amount you are paying. And it won’t be fun for you if you are only betting safe amounts so you will probably give into the micro transactions like I did. The blackjack component of the game is most definitely NOT RNG. I have seen the dealer get 20 and 21 15 times in a row. And am a fairly successful gambler in real life but this game will truly destroy your wallet if you let it. If you download this game do NOT buy ANY micro transactions and just try to play for fun. Because even I had lost about 1.2 billion dollars (in game) on a blackjack table in about 10 minutes. Literally no dollar amount will save you in the long run so do yourself a favor a skip this game unless you are purely playing for practice.

It still freezes when banker gets a good hand like they take control of it. They banker wins a ton more they say fair play but it’s not. The third party auditor they say that works in there favor. In real card games u win more then In this games. They cheat and want to get you hooked. I have played a lot of games and before the update the games was more realistic now it seems to be more of scam the chances of winning before the update a while was a ton higher now it takes your money and against odds to win. The more money you put in the more faster they take it with no hands. It’s fishy that win u loose all your money it try’s to give you exclusive offers to make you put more money it’s like how do they know when you run out of chips. The chips or too high they want real money for fake chips and they advantage of you. It’s sad before the update u could win a lot more. It’s boring not realistic they rigged it not to win. Don’t put money in here I put the last bit of money in it and I will never again.

I have to say that I absolutely love this game! It feels so realistic and the graphics are incredible. I wanted to leave some suggestions for possible improvements. I would love it if the game had background music. I really enjoy the sounds of the game, along with good Casino feel music in the background to make the feeling that much more real. I also feel to make the game complete, it would be super awesome if a Craps game were added. I have a love for the game of craps, and I thing Blackjackist could really do it well. The last thing Is a personal favorite, which may seem trivial, is I really like when you can change the table cloth colors. I enjoy when I can customize a private game and give it my own touch. But overall, this game is top notch.

Blackjack: This was the main reason I downloaded Blackjack21 in the first place. I have always enjoyed blackjack. My dad and I would play when I was younger and we bet cookies. Here’s the problem; I can win all day long at low betting tables now. I have over 1B chips. But when I started I couldn’t. Most of my winnings came from tournaments. When I play on the higher tables, it’s impossible to win 90% of the time without a 20-21, normally a 21 because the dealer either get blackjack or draws to a 21 and i get a push or it’s a total loss. I couldn’t tell you how many times I get dealt a face card. In the rules it states you use 6 decks but I know there isn’t that many in each round do to the splitter card. But every other round the dealer pulls a 10-face card from the shoe and then usually a 2-5 and if the dealer has a 7-10 showing I’m not standing on a 12, 13, or 14. But it never fails when I HIT the dealer pulls another face card from the shoe and I bust and I rarely see an Ace. One day I was playing and I counted one whole round(one shoe) how many aces I saw and I only counted 6. With the splitter card it’s probably about 4-5 decks which would be 16-20 Aces and I saw 6 which ISN’T FAIR like the game is advertised to be.

PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE OR YOU'RE GOING TO LOOSE A-LOT OF PLAYERS.

I’ve been playing Pokerist games for 5 years. Gathered some nice friends I’ve played with. Good fun and skill building. Built a solid base of winnings that allowed me to play frequently, explore, learn, and enjoy the good variety of games included in Blackjack21, and have never run dry…until now.

In the last 3-4 months things have changed. The deals have been overwhelmingly in favor of the house. “guests” and what are clearly bots are growing in presence to fill empty seats, and trolls guests have been popping in to share links and incentives to competitors games and heckle other players.

As the quality of play has decreased, friends are playing less, and so am I.

When the dealer deals themselves 3 blackjacks in succession, there’s something wrong. When they deal themselves a 10- pointer face up and uncover another, time after time, it’s simply not natural.

When the deals are consistently terrible 95% of the time and the losses break you across many different games, something’s not right.

In 5 years, I amassed millions and never went broke…until now.

Please don’t tell me the algorithms can’t be manipulated. Somethings not right.

Play here is no longer enjoyable and you’re losing a lot of loyal players.

It’s not just “a random run of bad luck.” Somethings not right, and it’s only getting worse so I’ll be joining my friends to play elsewhere.

I give it a low rating because people spend real money to enjoy themselves, but they eventually lose real money and fake. To fast they say it’s not set up, but in reality with the black jack if one person is playing it may be easier to notice that the cards are shuffled but is set most of the time for the house. Just like the casinos at least there were able to win real money. Unlike this game that is set I spend a lot more money the. I want to so I delete Blackjack21 then reinstall it over and over. The game is fun but really not worth all my money that I’m losing. 1 billion can be lost in 20 minutes. This is not a game that will have me for long I left it before for 6yrs . I know I can do it again. For all of you that my be addicted to this game I hope you don’t waste your money like I have. This game would be ideal it the people that set this game wasn’t so corrupt like the casino and world. This may be long but I hope you read it people.

My question was never answered. Why were your employees taking up all the seats at the table?? Making new characters as they saw fit. This is the 2nd time this has happened to me.

So you don’t want the screen shots? These were not regular players. They were your employees.

I need somewhere to upload the pictures I have about 25 pictures of your employees and I know they’re your employees taking up all the seats at my poker table. Not only that they were using house chips because they kept getting the same amount 5000 over and over again. So I have to buy chips and they’re getting them for free? and winning with your house chips?? To me that’s kind of double dipping isn’t it? Fraud yes? There were 3 to 4 people/employees each time. I’m a VIP level 7 almost 8. That means what? I’ve spent a lot of money on gifts and chips to just have your employees use your house chips to beat me in poker. Taking up all the seats. I want to send the pictures to you, I want you to see for yourself. VIP support is ridiculous. They can’t even solve a simple issue I had, let alone tell them about this. Never bothered, I came here and I would like this review to not go unnoticed.

I would like to start off by saying this is the best app of its kind. I downloaded it for mainly blackjack but I’ve played all the other casino games on here as well.

The blackjack is very realistic. Most people who complain about the blackjack have never been to a casino. Let me explain, in most casinos a blackjack game is dealt with 8 decks of cards, there are sixteen “10s” in each of those decks, that means 128 out of 416 cards will be a 10. This means NEARLY 1/3 cards will be a 10. These people on here who complain about the common amount of 10s just don’t know how to really play blackjack and when to not hit. A quick tip for new blackjack players if the dealer has under 7 showing and you have above 11 YOU SHOULD NOT HIT.

This is an amazing app and I’ve played it everyday for atleast a few minutes since I downloaded it! Just broke a million chips without ever buying chips! (Mainly from how realistic the blackjack is) 10/10, 5 stars, will recommend to anyone

Help me report Blackjack21 to Apple. Apple hasn’t done anything despite all my complaints and attempts to reach to them. Dear scammer mods, if your game is so fair and random, how does the dealer gets 20-blackjack 6-8 times in a row? The more I buy, the more likely I lose. When you start losing in blackjack, you will keep losing until you don’t have anymore chips. Dealer always gets 20 or higher. I have proof, I have screenshot and video. Your randomization system has been verified by a third party? Maybe the game is random on our side but it is NOT on the dealer side. Dealer always gets 20 or higher and never bust. I have all the screenshot for proof. Stupid apple won’t allow us to share on here.

I have no sympathy for you mods as you have none with me and anyone else using your app. You don’t deserve it anyway. You are a piece of trash and a waste of life. The only thing I hate about this review is that I cannot share my screenshots because I have concrete proof. I hope your app goes down and a big lawsuit is waiting for you. Rigged to the core

This is a fun game love the no adds. Unless you’re watching for free chips it’s the only game I still have on my phone. Strongly recommend you give it a try. It’s hard to put it down once you start specially when you’re down to your last few chip and you think you should quit let them build back up but something in you says take the gamble and you hit big and like that you’re back in the game with high rollers but sometimes you pay for taking the gamble and have to build back up slowly but every second is worth it #1 game in my opinion by far. Thinks and keep the new and exciting updates coming. You guys are the best. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩👍🏻🤝🏻 wish all the ads had not started every time you exit a table other than that this is. A 8 star game out of 5 it’s great and entertaining keep the updates coming 👍🏻
