Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Im 21 Player receive cards first and on this game dealer has 2 cards as player is receiving theirs. There is no major defects of the game. Very easy to bet. Lots of Fun Practice.
Dealer gets blackjack more often then we have ever seen.
Theres no world where the dealer pulls blackjack 7 times in a row! Again, well done but not random in any sense of the word. So, -2 stars for being annoyingly frustrating at times.
While overall enjoying it, we see two glaring issues with this app: 1) It appears that the dealer is dealing to themself first, and dealing both dealer cards first. Thats not how real blackjack is dealt, and is evident because of issue #2. 2) The app allows for a partial hand to be dealt and then run out of cards causing a shuffle. Ive never played where that is allowed.
Originally you get a lot of playing time, but after 30 days youll lose with 19 or 20 75% of the time and you spend more time watching ads than playing. Its a shame it was fun.
Fun, but Im pretty sure this is rigged to get you to watch ads for apps.
We play perfect basic strategy with a one of Oscars grind strategy and we never lose in casinos.. (look into it) this app is good for going theough scenerios fast but the computer is not 50.5 to 49.5% odds.
Totally unrealistic odds; dealers 16 seldom causes it to bust; player dealt 12 or 13 about 30% of the time, and hitting on it draws a ten 95% of the time. Nice that you can get more chips by sitting through an ad.
After playing about 4500 hands with basic strategy with this app we can almost guarantee if we win or lose depending on the cards. The dealer is not random, we havent barely seen any ads which is a good point if youre looking for an app to just have a nice experience with no ads. Regardless tho its trying to push you down around 20000 cause it doesnt want you to win because that would mean you wont see ads. Kind of unfortunate the developers should just change the way it shows ads and make it truly random. Also only one deck is really bad.
Its fun, its fast play but you will lose. Ive played enough to know this app is set up so you will have to gain free chips often so you will see the adds. The dealer will get blackjack so many times its not realistic. Dealer will also hardly ever bust while showing a 6. If you follow the Monte Carlo method, you will lose every time. It is good for practicing the basics of the Monte Carlo method, though. Just dont expect to win. Still fun but expect unrealistic dealer results.
Alright game but odds are not good everytime you lose your money after an ad you spin wheel to get more but quick play force you to lose so you watch ads barely win every great once in awhile you will go on a run but forcing you to watch ads is there goal so they get money of course.
We think something might be wrong with the algorithm. 25 hands in a row. Every time is 12 or 13 & when we hit every time is a face card & the dealer has 16 to 20. Used to be competitive & sure you would lose but not every time. Its no fun if you never win.
After reading other reviews, we agree this app is unrealistic in how it plays. While freak things can happen in blackjack that make you wonder if its rigged, this game has too much of that. Love the graphics and the speed with which it plays though.
Definitely #Rigged if you play by basic strategy. Otherwise nice looking and not many ads.
Dealer gets blackjack every single time we get anything over seventeen. Ive lost fifteen hands in a row. Interesting. We still kind of like it except for that annoying little number bubble next to our cards. There should be an option to remove it. Thumbs down.
But u lose 90 percent of the time..no matter what … Thus making you watch more ads … More money for developers … Genius in a way.
Cards not dealt very random. Increase your bet, you lose.
Hope you like opening hands of 12 to 16s while the dealer gets 21 with eight cards. Bad algorithm. Dont torture yourself.
We swear this game is rigged to trigger more ad revenue. Ive played hours upon hours of real and game bj and Ive never seen a game get so many 20s and 21s. We hardly ever see a bust. Most games irl and cards Im usually around 50% wins. This game is like 10% wins. It gets you to zero and then says free coins and makes you watch a video.
The cards are not random. Play for yourself and youll see. Which is too bad because we liked the simplicity. A lot of apps theses days over complicate things by adding stars, xp, treasure chests, and things of that sort. This was a really simple game & we liked the chip system. Too bad it is not random cards. We do not think we will continue playing this game.
When we first started playing this, it was fun. Now we could predict Im going to lose a hand simply because Im showing a 12. If we hit we will go over 21. If we dont hit, we still lose. The computer has 17 to 21 or draws a card and does not go over. That is just one example.
We dont think this game was prepared for winnings that went over $1 million. Because it started crashing once we hit $1 million in winnings. As of 07/23, we reached $2 Billion. While in the middle of a split hand, we had $60 Million on a bet, suddenly ALL of our winnings went to $0. Not a fan of this game anymore.
Went to bed with $40k and woke up with 0. Not to mention how long it took us to get to that balance given how rigged the play feels. We liked the speed of play and used it all the time, but just removed it for good after you took all our hard earned points randomly.
There are plenty more options! This one is TRASH.
Clearly rigged against the player, nonstop 5-6 card 21s.
No matter how many chips you have, as soon as you increase your bet, you get dealt losing hands, or the dealer beats you no matter what you have (you can have 20, and dealer will draw 21). This game does not realistically follow real card play. Its rigged to make you either buy chips, or watch ads.
Got it. Played it. Lost so many times we started to be able to predict when the House was going to steal our bet. We deleted it within half an hour. Unless losing is your thing, pass on this one.
We played for an hour or so last night. In what universe does a blackjack dealer draw 11 blackjacks and the player draws none? If the goal was to provide a somewhat realistic blackjack experience, its failed to do so. If we could rate you 0 out of 5, we would. But Apple insists the worst rating any app can get is 1. So thats what youll be getting.
Lost ten straight hands. Dealer had eight hands of 20 or 21 including five straight. The other two were 18 and 19. Two of the 21s were multi-card draws which beat the player two 20s. Waste of time.
Fun, works well, but anytime you go all in, the computer will win 99% of the time. Usually hitting 21. Obvious its rigged so you have to watch and ad to get more money. Edit: we never hit when we have 12 on this app anymore since almost every time it will give us a 10. If you raise your bet, the computer will just keep winning. Computer will have blackjack up to 4 times in a row when Im looking to get it here and there. Terrible app, not realistic at all.
If you get 16-20 the computer will get 21 every single time. If you bet more than 100, the computer will beat you no matter what. Dont waste your time. Its an ad scam app.
We used to like this app. Now it interrupts our game constantly with pop ups for other apps. Its impossible to make them go away, even if we sit through the videos.
Ive played a lot of blackjack. The dealers worst hands are 4,5, or 6 showing. The dealer in this game wins 85% of the hands holding these cards. Percentage wise, not even close.
This game has a player LOSING A LOT! Its either the dealer pulls off the right card or the player goes over. Eight out of ten hands are losers. Time to uninstall.
Gets 21 instantly when you make a large bet.
Game is good but when you get free chips there our inappropriate ads that pop up.
While this blackjack game runs smoothly and is easy to use. The developer knowing he makes more money the more ads you view. So his game is programmed to cheat when your most vulnerable. Winning to much? Have too much cash, watch the AI not only increase frequency of blackjacks, but also get to 21 multiple times with many cards. Once AI got to 21 eight times in a row. Your programmed to lose so youll be forced to watch video ads. Believe us, this game is anything but free.
You will bust 9 out of 10 times. Dealer will bust one out of 10.
This game is good but the odds feel weird. Whenever Im lucky we randomly just start to lose and its annoying. We went from 52,467 to 1,665.
We love the speed of the game, however the house always wins constantly. We think he will need to adjust that. It just seems unfair compared to other blackjack games. Thank you.
This game is very fun but its not fun when The dealer keeps on beating you by one.
Not realistic at all. Heavily rigged in the dealers favor. You lose 9/10 rounds most of the time.
Incredible how the dealer has a great hole card, unless you bust, then its a bad card. Blackjack 5-1 in dealers favor. Dealer gets incredibly good cards hitting in 16 to 13. But it is free and fast playing.
Too many blackjacks for dealer! Not realistic.
Dealer Wins most of the time, and gets way to many blackjacks.
The AI on this game is ridiculous, and plays into momentum and runs all too much. The dealer doesnt get less than 19 if you are losing hands. Just not fun to play. Sure, when youre winning, things keep going your way, but overall just so unrealistic. We had the dealer get blackjack on us 5/6 hands in a row.
How many times can you lose 6 hands in a row. Over the course of 15 minute we guess the answer is 5. How many times can the dealer get 19 or better. Evidently 16 out of 20. So fixed. Go somewhere else if you want an honest game.
This game is heavily slanted toward the dealer. Ive downloaded and deleted this particular app several times. This will be the last.
Very poor app. The higher you bet the more hands you loose. 10 in a row and sometimes more.
This app was clearly designed by people who barely understand the basic concepts of the game. We have had this app for years and tracked thousands of hand over countless idle hours of play and the stats are way off. It seems to be a single deck game as the cards are shuffled frequently but no amount of bad variance can account for the flaws here. Here are just a few: -Over time the dealer consistently gets dealt 3-4 times more 20s than the player. -Over time the dealer will get 2-3 times as many blackjacks as the player. -The frequency of loss on double downs is way too high. -Even though it has the appearance of a single deck game occasionally the same cards come up more than once between shuffles. -It pays the blackjack 3 to 2 payout on Ace/Tens dealt AFTER SPLITTING ACES!!! No real version of BJ in the world awards that! -The consistency of the player busting out on 3 cards after hitting on 12-16 is grossly over-exaggerated. Furthermore, it offers no options for number of decks, game rule variations, or side bets. There are way better true to life options out there that deal from actual virtual shoes. All we can figure is that, if this app had any intention behind its design, its to show players how consistently bad a game CAN go. The problem is it stays that way. Maybe they designed it to discourage gambling. Im pretty sure though that this is just a lazy random card generator pretending to be a game to throw adds at you. Go play CandyLand. Its more complex and realistic than this nonsense.
