Is TrueCount Blackjack fair? We audited it.
Most blackjack apps ask you to trust them. We'd rather show you. TrueCount's game engine passed a 76-test audit across 8 categories, every test passing, checking that the shuffle is random, the payouts are exact, and the odds match a real casino.
First, the honest part
This is a self-audit, not a third-party certification. We built a test suite modelled on the kinds of checks gaming labs run (GLI-11 / eCOGRA-style), but we ran it ourselves, and we're not accredited by GLI, BMM, or any gaming laboratory. We don't need to be: TrueCount is an entertainment app with no real money and no gambling. This audit exists for one reason: transparency. Every test uses a fixed random seed, so the audit is fully deterministic: every run reproduces identical results.
What we checked, in plain English
The 76 tests fall into 8 categories. Here's what each one is really asking:
| What it proves | Tests | |
|---|---|---|
| The shuffle is genuinely random No patterns, no memory, no bias, across 100,000+ dealt cards per test. | 10 | PASS |
| Every shuffle is a complete, correct deck No missing cards, no duplicates, the cut card lands where it should. | 6 | PASS |
| Every rule plays by the book Dealer hits/stands correctly (S17 & H17), doubles, splits, surrender and insurance all follow real casino rules. | 20 | PASS |
| You're paid exactly right Blackjack 3:2 and 6:5, wins, doubles and insurance pay to the exact chip, even on odd bet sizes. | 12 | PASS |
| The odds match a real casino Hundreds of thousands of simulated hands per table, checked against Wizard of Odds reference values. | 12 | PASS |
| The strategy advice is correct 280 basic-strategy cells verified against published Wizard of Odds charts. | 6 | PASS |
| The card-counting math is right Hi-Lo running count, true count and player edge all compute correctly. | 7 | PASS |
| No chips ever appear or vanish Across 10,000+ full rounds per table, every chip wagered and returned balances exactly. | 6 | PASS |
The numbers that matter to you
Real, published house edges
Every table was simulated over 500,000 hands using perfect basic strategy, and the house edge converged to its expected value, verified against the Wizard of Odds calculator. Lower is better for you; these are honest casino numbers, not slot-machine odds:
| Table | Decks | House edge |
|---|---|---|
| Jean-Luc LaChance | 2 | 0.31% |
| Czarita Fortuna | 4 | 0.39% |
| "Dice Man" Jack | 6 | 0.57% |
| Lady Lux | 6 | 0.72% |
| Aunty "Lucky Lei" | 8 | 2.02% |
Everything else lines up too
- Blackjack shows up about 4.7–4.8% of hands, exactly as often as it should, on every table.
- Dealer bust rates by upcard match published values within 3% (e.g. a dealer 6 busts ~42% of the time; an Ace ~11.5%).
- Payouts are exact to the chip: 3:2 and 6:5 blackjacks, doubles, and insurance, including correct rounding on odd bet sizes.
- Player win / loss / push rates (≈42.5% / 49.0% / 8.5%) land right where the math predicts.
How big was the test?
Big enough that a hidden bug would have nowhere to hide. The fairness simulations ran 500,000 hands per table for house edge, 200,000 hands for dealer bust rates, and 100,000+ dealt cards per shuffle test, millions of hands in total, checked against a 99.9% confidence threshold (chi-square, serial-correlation and runs tests). And because every test uses a fixed seed, the audit is fully repeatable: it isn't one lucky run, the same checks produce the same results every time.
The full caveats
- This is a self-audit, not a third-party certification. We are not accredited by GLI, BMM, or any gaming laboratory.
- TrueCount is an entertainment app: no real money, no gambling, no cash-out. This audit exists for transparency and quality assurance.
- Reference house-edge values are approximate (from published calculators), and tolerance bands account for finite-penetration effects.
- Statistical tests are probabilistic: a passing result means no statistically significant deviation was detected, not that deviation is impossible.
