Blackjack calculators

Blackjack calculators, charts and trainers: the right play for every hand, what your table’s rules cost, and how to count cards and size your bets.

Where to start

Learn basic strategy first. The strategy chart shows every move, and the trainer drills it until you stop checking. Played well, a 3:2 shoe game costs you about 0.4%.

Then check the table

RuleEffect on house edge
6:5 instead of 3:2 blackjack+1.39%
Dealer hits soft 17+0.22%
No doubling after a split+0.14%
Late surrender−0.08%

The house edge calculator puts your table's full rule set in one number and turns it into pounds per hour. Counting comes last: it's legal, slow, and only pays on top of perfect basic strategy.
