🃏

Blackjack Basic-Strategy Trainer

Drill the solved basic-strategy chart hand by hand. Hit / stand / double / split / surrender — the coach grades each play and tracks your accuracy.

🎰

Video Poker Trainer (9/6 JoB)

Pick which cards to hold; the coach computes the optimal hold by real expected-value math and shows you the difference.

Why “practice mode”? Basic strategy and optimal video-poker holds are mathematically solved — there is one correct play for every situation. Learning them is a skill, and these drills build that skill with zero money on the line.

A note on gambling. Even played perfectly, every casino game is negative expected value — the house wins over time. Practicing optimal strategy lowers how fast you lose; it does not make gambling profitable. If gambling stops being fun, call or text 1-800-GAMBLER (1-800-426-2537), 24/7.
