App: Blackjack & Card Counting
Developer: Jonathan Magdowski
Genres: Games, Strategy, Card

Designed as a serious practice tool for novices and pros, and playable as a Blackjack game.

Focused on the learning process for beginner, intermediate and advanced players. 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 is focused on moving step by step to progress over time.

Strategies: The following strategies are included: Basic Strategy, Hi-Lo. Complete index tables are editable. A future version will have customizable card count values to accommodate any counting system.

Drills: Playing the game is fun, but drills are where you nail down accurate play. Numerous options are provided for each drill. For all levels of players - novice through pro.

Optimize your time: Hands are not thrown at you completely randomly. More difficult hands are presented more often. You can be drilled on four-card hands, which are substantially more difficult than two-card hands. For counting practice, the shoe can be biased toward a positive or negative count to increase difficulty.It will remember errors you have made and present you with those hands. Speeds can be increased beyond the speed of human dealers. These features are designed to make better use of your time.
