We’d have to run a ton of simulations to know if the app is legit for sure, but I haven’t yet seen evidence that it’s rigged in the favor of either the player or the dealer. Features include smooth turbo play and player-friendly rules. In theory positive counts should happen as often as negative counts, but I’ve notice the app tends to favor positive counts which favors the player. IGT offers one of the most popular versions of online blackjack, available to play for free online. If anything, I’ve noticed this app tends to run a positive count. The count ended at a +8 with a true count of 8. There is nothing sketchy about this particular shoe. It’s possible that the cards that end up in the dealers hands vs the player hands are rigged, I haven’t checked that yet. I was playing basic strategy this game with low bets, sitting at a 19k bankroll. I’d be suspicious if any of the counts were over 16 as that would not be possible in a 4 deck game, but all are below. A: 11 2: 13 3: 10 4: 12 5: 14 6: 12 7: 13 8: 12 9: 10 10: 11 J: 11 Q: 12 K: 8 Of course, it’s possible for the numbers to vary greatly based on random chance but as they all are near 12, it doesn’t appear that there are increased abundance of As, 10s or face cards, an abundance that would favor the dealer. Note that on average there will be 12 cards of each across the 3 decks played. In a 4 deck game the dealer shuffled with 59 cards left.
