A logical proof of why this game IS rigged.

Developer, you can claim all day wrong that it is not rigged, but that doesn’t make it true. We all know you’re lying. First of all, there is no such thing as a truly random computer. Seriously, it is impossible, Google it everyone. Computers can only SIMULATE randomness. They can come close to truly random, but nobody has yet achieved 100% real world randomness, because programs are by definition, algorithms made by man; therefore if it’s made, it’s not random. The programmer of this app seems to think they are the first person in history to crack this code. Just watch, they are going to respond with the same canned message, “Outcomes of the game aren’t manipulated in favor of the dealer or player in any way.” Here are my reasons for knowing it is rigged. When you are dealt an ace and another card, when you hit, you almost always get a 10 value card which just makes the value of your hand hard instead of soft. So say you are dealt a soft 15, if I hit, I ALWAYS get a 10 value card making my hand a hard 15. The game is also programmed to accentuate “streaks” which do happen statistically in real world randomness. As stated before, real world randomness is not possible in a virtual environment. Therefore, the developers have programmed into the game an attempted recreation of streaks, but they are way too often and way too long. You are almost always in a long winning or losing streak, never back and forth, one, two, or three wins or losses in a row like it should be. I would like you to admit it is not truly random, because true randomness is impossible. If you don’t admit that is a fact, you have ZERO credibility.

Never get 2,3,4,5 on second draws. And game will short winnings on table after wins.
Cool pass-time.

I like the card counting aspect of this game, it's realistic and helps me practice for the real thing. Ads are annoying and sometimes cause the app to freeze, but they can be avoided by playing off-line. You can build up a decent bankroll to start with by watching a few ads for free chips, so I never had to spend a penny to play this game. The win/loss ratio is commensurate with real-life Blackjack in that when playing correct basic strategy, the player wins roughly 40% of the time, the dealer wins about 50% with 10% pushes. It's a great app for practicing my basic strategy, card counting and betting tactics. HOWEVER, I agree with other reviewers who point out the losing streaks against the dealer can seem unreasonably long sometimes. I've gone on 20+ hand losing streaks playing basic strategy where the dealer routinely pulls 5 and 6 card 20s and 21s against my 19s and 20s. If these occasions were outliers, I would be less suspicious of rigging, but it seems common. However, the statistics always even out eventually as I will then win 15 out of the next 20 hands to get back to the 40/50/10 win/loss/push ratio that jives with reality. Lastly, I would like a way to "cash in" my chips and start a new game from scratch. There should be a way to actually quit, as if you took your winnings (or losses) and walked away from the table. As it is, you have to continue playing each new session with your previous pot as if you never left the table, which isn't realistic. But aside from these criticisms, this is the best version of free virtual blackjack I've found in the App Store.
Seems fixed

I’ve never played blackjack before where the dealer gets 20 or 21 4 out of 5 times. Seems the only wins possible in this game is 20 or 21 and even then half the time it’s a push. I’ve played a lot of years for real and video games and never lost so much so fast
