Blackjack Shark is an essential tool for any blackjack player. (Note: Blackjack Shark is not a blackjack game. It does not simulate gambling.) - Are you playing with the correct basic strategy? Different casinos have different rules for blackjack, and that can affect basic strategy. Blackjack Shark contains the correct strategy for every possible set of rules. Just enter your casino's rules in the "Rules" sub-menu and Blackjack Shark will show you the correct strategy. If you want to refer to the strategy at a casino table, you can e-mail it to yourself and print it out from a computer, or you can print it out directly from the app via AirPrint. - Flash card mode Sharpen up your basic strategy with Blackjack Shark's flash card mode. It uses the Leitner system to choose which scenarios to display, so it automatically focuses on the scenarios that you have the most difficulty with. - House advantage Blackjack Shark's world-class analytical engine can calculate the house advantage for any set of rules in a matter of seconds. - Hand analyzer If you're at 16 and the dealer is showing a 10, is it REALLY that important for you to hit instead of stand? Now you can find out with Blackjack Shark's hand analyzer. Type in any scenario you want and Blackjack Shark will calculate the expected value of every possible action, instantly. Give yourself an advantage at the tables with Blackjack Shark! Blackjack Shark is made by the developer of tChess (the popular chess app) and Learn Chess (the Apple Staff Favorite e-book).
Well made app!
I spent 15 minutes practicing basic strategy 100%, I wish the app had more drills. HiLo count is maxed out at 10 on hand analyzer but it’s very common to have counts up to 20 towards the end of the shoe and it would be great if this can be adjusted. Also, the session simulator could use a bet spread as people rarely flat bet
Great app!!
Unique way to learn and improvised your game skills 😎
Great training tool
Perfect tool to practice every iteration that you might encounter at a casino. Makes practicing far more fun than reading a standard cheat sheet and has a tool to understand more complex scenarios. Important investment to look smarter than your friends next time you visit Vegas.
Great Blackjack aid; Basic strategy and much more
I wish I had had this app when I first visited Vegas in the 90s. Back then you could buy a Basic Strategy wallet card from a gas station and do pretty well as the 21 tables. But this is on a whole new level. It has flash-card like capabilities and lets you tune the rules to match the variant you’ll play at the casino. What’s extra cool is the odds calculation. It does it in real time apparently using a Monte Carlo simulation. This shows your or the house’s edge and verifies adages like “never take insurance” (almost never) and other advice (spilt aces, never split 10s, etc.). Next time I go to the casino I’ll be sure to bone-up with this app beforehand.
Love flash card mode!
I like how I can quickly blast through flash cards, practicing what I know and learning along the way. It is smart about how it trains as well, repeating what I don't know. Great training app!
Nice!
This is the best app I found that is actually serious about training you to lay blackjack in real life circumstances. You can check the math on all possible situations in detail and go into why a given play is optimal. Highly recommended!
Very Helpful!
Maybe I will finally be able to beat my brother!
