Blackjack strategy guide

This is a quick, beginner-friendly guide for the play-money tables. Use the in-game tour for powerups and special mechanics.

Core ideas

• Aim for strong totals (17–21) but avoid busting.
• Dealer shows a visible up-card; play more aggressively when the dealer looks strong.
• Splitting and doubling can improve long-term results, but increases variance.

Simple rules of thumb

• Stand on 17+ most of the time.
• Hit on 11 or less.
• Be cautious around 12–16 (these hands bust easily).

Using powerups

• Boosts: turn “almost good” hands into wins.
• Saves: strongest when you would otherwise bust or lose badly.
• Utility: use for information (peek) or to fix a specific problem (swap/remove).
