Auto Hint
At the first three tables, the basic strategy move lights up on your turn. It follows the soft 17 rule you pick.
Daily Challenge
Five strategy questions a day. Get all five right for up to 12,000 credits. No hints.
Insurance, honestly
The game tells you why insurance is a losing bet before you take it.
Every hand counts toward the next table.
Every hand earns XP, and wins earn more. New tables open at levels 10, 25, 50 and 100. Your level only goes up.
Two Game Center leaderboards rank net winnings in credits: all time and this month. The monthly board resets at the start of each month.
A hidden counting tool.
There is a Hi-Lo counting tool hidden on the table. It shows the running count, the true count and the decks left. Finding it is part of the game.
Card counting in TrueCount is practice inside a game with no real money. It is not advice for casino play.
