Four blackjack games in one trainer. A live coach calls Hit, Stand, Double, Split or Surrender with a one-line reason, then the debrief grades every decision. From the team behind Hold'em Coach.
Version 1.0 · iPhone with iOS 17+, including iPhone Duo. Runs on iPad as an iPhone app — not designed for iPad. Free with optional Coach+.
Virtual chips only. No real-money gambling and no prizes of real-world value. 18+.
01 · Game modes
Each mode has its own basic-strategy chart, side bets and coach. Play a hand in every mode to earn the Mode Explorer achievement. Full rules on the strategies page.
Vegas-common rules · Perfect Pairs & 21+3
Side bets: Perfect Pairs (perfect 25:1, colored 12:1, mixed 6:1) and 21+3 (your two cards + dealer up-card as a three-card poker hand).
Free doubles/splits · dealer 22 pushes
Side bets: Push 22 (11:1 when the dealer totals exactly 22) and Pot of Gold (pays on your free-double lammer count).
No 10s · Match the Dealer · late surrender & rescue
Side bets: Match the Dealer Up and Down — your card matching the dealer's rank pays 4:1, or 9:1 suited.
One-card start · multi-double · Push 22
Side bets: Push 22 (11:1 when the dealer totals exactly 22).
Mode-aware coaching names the chart: “Spanish strategy: hit hard 13” or “DDM strategy: double soft 18.” Soft and hard totals are labelled next to your cards so the chart zones match what you see.
02 · Live coach
Before you act, the coach pill shows the basic-strategy play and why. Follow it, or play your own read — the Hand Debrief grades each decision afterwards, and Coach Report shows your alignment, insights and hand history over time.
03 · Daily Stars
Stars reward discipline, not luck: 1 ★ for every coach-aligned hand, plus bonuses when the hand also lands. Daily, Weekly and Lifetime boards, profiles, and the same ten lifetime shields as Hold'em Coach. The top three each day can claim 15K / 10K / 5K practice chips after the board resets.
A coach-perfect hand pays 1 ★. Naturals, doubles and multi-card wins after a split add bonus stars on top. Open your profile from the ★ board or Settings → Profile to edit your nickname, avatar and flag.
