Reviews for "Fun Blackjack"

at least get the full rules right

you missed an important rule in the game which spoiled it.

in blackjack an ace can be worth either 1 or 11 not just 1...

sorry but this really annoyed me

This isn't blackjack!

Blackjack has several rules which aren't in place here/aren't correct. First, the ability to double down is given only after your first cards are dealt, you can not double down after you have taken any additional hits.
Second, when you have like cards (ie 2 6's, or 2 Jacks) as your cards, you are given the option to split the cards into two hands, and you place another bet of the same amount for the second hand.

Third, if you tie the dealer, it is called a push, and the player's bet is returned to him.

Fourth, Aces aren't counted as being worth 11, ever, with the exception of a blackjack. I got the following hand of cards totaling 21: 2,2,A,4,2. Instead I was given an 11 and lost to the dealer who got 18. I looked into this more and noticed Aces are NEVER counted as 11, always 1. This caused other issues, such as the dealer continuing to hit if he had 20 (like an Ace and a 9), which is also incorrect, he only hits on soft 17s, nothing higher.

If we're going for casino likeness here, blackjack should pay 3:2, not 4:1. Also, and I understand this is really really minor, but if you are not going to have the game not auto-recognize blackjacks and allow people the option to hit, stand, or double, then you shouldn't auto-bust when taking another card. I attempted a double on a blackjack hand, got a Queen, and lost because it said I had 31, when in reality I should have had 21. This may seem insignificant due to the 4:1 payout for blackjack, but if the payout was 3:2 as is the usual, then a double down for 21 would essentially net you a 2:1 payout, which gives reasoning (albeit far-stretched) to throw away a blackjack and do the double down for a slightly larger payout. Lastly for rules nitpicking, you also do not offer insurance when the dealer has an Ace showing.

The boos and claps become a nuisance after about 3 hands. They are way too loud and obnoxious.

The music is also obnoxious, but not as much as the sound effects. Perhaps adding some different music tracks, and allowing the player to switch between them would be good. Personally, I feel the music is too fast of a tempo for the game, but for others that may be what they want, which is another reason for the multiple music selections.

Some aesthetic touches that could be implemented: show the payouts, specifically blackjack and (should you decide to implement it) insurance. Also, it might be a good idea to say somewhere how many decks are in play, as it is obvious there is more than 1.

OK game...But when the dealer and I have the exact same amount, it's called a push. Nobody gets anything, and I should not lose. Get the actual game concepts correct before making something like this.

Haha

Hate when they say BOOOOOO!!!

not very good :P

poor

There should be a much better variety of music when you get blackjack you can somehow lose as well as this what's with eh annoying and reptitive woo woo and ooohhhh there should be a way to mute that however i like the table and it's an alright effort.
