Blackjack 21: Casino Poker

If you don't buy in, then can't win...I tried for hundreds of hands and resets but the program won't let you win until you purchase some chips, which I can sort of empathize with the creators...Enjoying the game now after a small contribution, dealer now busts more and good basic strategy like appropriate hits, double downs and splits are rewarded...I do love the nice big cards, flow of the game, different counties/casinos and even the soothing voice describing the action... I'd suggest to make the free version at least possible to let the more skilled and determined players succeed... I'd say it's worth a small investment to enjoy the great game of blackjack when you can't hit the casinos!

I’ve played several hundred hands with this app applying Basic Strategy which, at near even odds, works well for me in an actual casino or with other blackjack apps. So far, I’ve never won against this app or even gone on the slightest winning streak. I’m not a big spender in the casino, but my results are consistently near break even. Same experience with some other blackjack apps, although I’ve seen some bad ones too. Using consistent $50 bets with this game, I lose $500-$1000 each session and then have the app refresh some portion of that amount based on length of time played. I played long enough now to not trust the fairness of this app. You can no longer convince me the cards are shuffled randomly and this is a game of chance. Everyone’s luck runs poorly at times, but not this poorly. I believe they want you to increase your bets, lose more, and then sell you chips (BTW, why on earth would anyone do that?). I would not recommend this app based on my experience. Deleting it and moving on to something better.

Don't expect to win every hand. This game plays just like the casino. I like the fact that it's not full of pop-ups and isn't a win every hand, it makes it more challenging I would like a competitive version playing with other people
