How the trainers work
A dealer never asks you two things at once, and neither do these. Mouse or keyboard, it’s up to you, the shortcut letters are printed on the buttons. When you get it wrong, the hand stays frozen with the reason next to it, and when you get it right the next one turns up by itself if you’ve left auto-next on. Your score and longest streak are saved in your own browser and go nowhere else, which also means clearing your browser data wipes them.
Not every answer comes from the same place. Three Card Poker and baccarat run on short rules you could write on a beer mat, Q-6-4 for one and the Banker’s drawing chart for the other. Video poker is the opposite: the trainer grinds through all 32 ways of holding your five cards and every possible draw before it tells you which hold was best. Blackjack sits in between and uses the same strategy engine as our printable charts.
Which trainer to start with
Blackjack players should start with basic strategy and leave counting alone for a while, because a perfect count on top of shaky play still loses. If casino poker is more your thing, Ultimate Texas Hold’em is the one we’d pick first, since it asks you to make three decisions a hand and the 4x pre-flop raise is where most players give money away. Roulette and craps can’t be beaten by any strategy, so those two trainers do something different and teach you what each bet costs, which is still the fastest route to stop making the silly ones.
Getting better at these games won’t change the house edge. It just stops you paying more than you have to.
