If you are new to Blackjack or consider yourself a beginner, we recommend reading our How to Play Blackjack article first!

Using our free Blackjack Trainer is simple and straightforward. You can press deal to begin immediately, or customize the options to mimic the version of blackjack that you would like to practice. The blackjack chart under “Help” will update depending on the options and rules of the game.

There are seven variables to tweak the Blackjack Trainer. To adjust these settings click the Options button:

1) Whether the Dealer hits or stands on soft 17:

• Dealer hits on soft 17 – worse for the player
• Dealer stands on soft 17 – better for the player

2) Are you allowed to double-down after splitting?

• Double allow after splitting – this is VERY important for the player and is typically the default for Vegas casinos.
• Double as first option only – you may only double down as your first play, not after splitting.

3) Is surrender allowed?

This is a rule that allows you to fold your hand immediately, prior to seeing the Dealer’s hole card, and sacrifice your hand to save half your bet.

• Allow surrender – surrender is typically allowed in 6 and 8 deck shoe games in Vegas. This is an excellent rule for players.
• No surrender – surrender is rarely allowed in single deck and double deck games.

4) How many decks are you playing?

• 8 decks – Vegas shoes are typically made up of 8 decks these days.
• 6 decks
• 4 decks
• 2 decks

5) How much does Blackjack pay?

Blackjack Card Counting Training

Blackjack in a 6 deck or 8 deck shoe in Vegas typically pays 3:2, but there is a recent and disturbing trend for the big casinos to have blackjack tables that only pay 6:5 on tables with a shoe. The casinos are targeting casual players that are not aware of this difference. Be sure to find the tables that pay 3:2!

• Blackjack pays 3:2
• Blackjack pays 6:5 – this is typical for a double deck or single deck blackjack game.

6) Can you re-split your hands and if so, how many times?

You are always allowed to split your cards the first time, but if you are then dealt the same card again, can you split your cards again? In a shoe game, you are typically allowed to re-split up to 3 times.

• Re-split allowed (3)
• Re-split allowed (2)
• Re-split allowed (1)
• Re-split not allowed

7) Type of game you would like to practice.

• Hard mode – provides more difficult scenarios to test you.
• Splits only – play just splitting hands.
• Soft hands only – play just soft hands (hands with an ace).
• Random mode – purely random shuffle.

Once you’ve set up the table to your linking, the Blackjack Chart will update itself to show the optimum blackjack strategy to play. To view the chart, click the Help button. This will overlay the chart and show you the correct move for your last play.

Now click the Deal button to get started!

The point of this trainer is to play perfect blackjack strategy. You start with $1,000 of play money, but what’s more important is your playing accuracy. You’ll see that your moves will be tracked for your session providing you an accuracy rating. Your goal is to make the perfect strategic decision each time. You can start by consulting the blackjack chart to help you make the right decisions. But after a while, you should play without looking at the chart.

In the screen shot below, you can see that this player has made 24 correct moves and 1 incorrect move for an accuracy of 96%.

When using our Blackjack Trainer, pay close attention to this score, this is more important than your dollar balance. Random luck can sway your balance around, but as long as you are playing perfect blackjack strategy, you will give yourself the best chance of winning money long term!

To start learning optimal blackjack strategy, you should strictly follow the plays outlined in our blackjack charts. Based on the specific rules and options you set up, our blackjack charts adjust and prescribe the best strategic moves to make when playing blackjack.

Our blackjack charts tell you how to play your hand based on the rules and options of the game and the Dealer’s up card.

Looking at our blackjack chart, the number listed horizontally across the top corresponds to the Dealer’s up card. Find your hand (the player’s hand) along the left column of the chart and cross-reference your hand with the Dealer’s card to determine the play you should make.

Chart choices change the charts. For example, one chart is used when the dealer stands on soft 17 and another is used when the dealer hits on soft 17.

Other choices are used for things like re-splits. The chart doesn’t change here but decisions need to be checked. For example, if the player has re-splits turned on and he gets a third eight against a six after splitting the first two eights then the trainer will check to make sure he makes the right decision which is to split again. If re-splitting is turned off here then the trainer will check to make sure the player makes the right decision which is to stand.

There are a couple of notes to make when reading our blackjack charts. First, the X symbol – Surrender/Hit – this means that if the table allows Surrender, then you should surrender your hand. Otherwise, take a hit.

Similarly, the U symbol – Surrender/Stand – if the table allows for Surrender, then you should use it and surrender your hand. Otherwise, just stand with your hand.

Flexible BlackJack-Simulator written in Python. It takes a given basic strategy as input (defined in a .csv-file) and simulates that strategy over a given amount of time. The simulator also counts cards sticking to the OMEGA II Count, which basically gives every card some value. Depending on the current count the bet size gets adjusted.

Running

Omega II Count:

2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	J	Q	K	A
+1	+1	+2	+2	+2	+1	0	-1	-2	-2	-2	-2	0

So, for example if there is a player-favorable count like +20 by 2 decks remaining, the simulator bets the standard bet times the specified BET_SPREAD.

Definition of Terms

The simulator involves several concepts related to Blackjack game play:

• A Hand is a single hand of Blackjack, consisting of two or more cards
• A Round is single round of Blackjack, in which one or more players play their hands against the dealer's hand
• A Shoe consists of multiple card decks consisting of SHOE_SIZE times 52 cards
• A Game is a sequence of Rounds that starts with a fresh Shoe and ends when the Shoe gets reshuffled

Result

The simulator provides the net winnings result per game played and an overall result summing up all the game results. The following output for example indicates, that in game no. 67 the simulated player won 18 hands more than he lost. On the other hand in game no. 68 the simulator lost 120 hands more than he won.

This graph displays every game with its total won or lost hands. You can see that in some rare games about 60 more hands are lost/won than won/lost. If the expectation is positive, you have developed a Winning BlackJack Strategy, which is the case for the provided BasicStrategy plus the OMEGA II count.

This graph displays the development of the count for each game. You can see that the card count in rare cases even exceeds 40 and is on average as you would expect 0.

Gaming Rules

The simulator plays with the following casino rules:

• Dealer stands on soft 17
• Double down after splitting hands is allowed
• No BlackJack after splitting hands
• 3 times 7 is counted as a BlackJack

Configuration Variables

Variable	Description
GAMES	The number of games that should be played
ROUNDS_PER_GAME	The number of rounds that should be played per game (may cover multiple shoes)
SHOE_SIZE	The number of decks that are used
SHOE_PENETRATION	Indicates the percentage of cards that still remain in the shoe, when the shoe gets reshuffled
BET_SPREAD	The multiplier for the bet size in a player favorable counting situation

Sample Configuration

Strategy

Card Counting Online Blackjack

Any strategy can be fed into the simulator as a .csv file. The default strategy that comes with this simulator looks like the following:

• The first column shows both player's cards added up
• The first row shows the dealers up-card
• S ... Stand
• H ... Hit
• Sr ... Surrender
• D ... Double Down
• P ... Split

Note on the shuffle method used

Counting Card For Blackjack

The shuffle method used is the default random.shuffle() which comes with a warning :
'[if] the total number of permutations of x is larger than the period of most random number generators, [then] most permutations of a long sequence can never be generated.'
https://docs.python.org/2/library/random.html
Hopefully :
'Python uses the Mersenne Twister as the core generator. It produces 53-bit precision floats and has a period of 2**19937-1'Which means that a list of over ~~2080 elements would never see all its permutations, even if it got shuffled an infinite number of times. 8x52 = 416 is low enough to ignore this problem.
