Very nicely done, enjoyed playing it! My only wish would be to hit after split, though the way you handled it is perfectly valid.

Thanks, never played in a casino - Are the left and right hand cards hit immediately after splitting?

It depends. The rules vary from casino to casino. :)

The Wizard of Odds has a very thorough walk-through of the variations of rules - and what they mean to the odds:

Brings back memories from playing many, many hours of playing optimal strategy blackjack to release generous bonuses from online casinos. :)

Well done on launching btw. I second the UI suggestions about making UI a bit easier.

I was impressed by the online casinos using real dealers and those scannable oversized cards. I don’t think I would have gone that route but great that people are employed and I guess that puts to bed any discussion about algorithms or if the computer is dealing under to itself. Wizard Of Odds is an amazing guy, I love the articles on his site.

My wish has been granted, I can play the hands after split now, very nice
