Learning Tip: Focus on mastering the correct moves for hard totals 12–16 when facing dealer 2–6 upcards. These common situations significantly impact your overall performance.

Probability Basics Explained

🎯

Essential Mathematical Facts

Strategic exercises follow predictable mathematical patterns. Key facts include:

Standard deck contains 52 cards
Each card rank appears four times
Sixteen cards have value ten (10, J, Q, K)
Probability of drawing a ten-value card: 16/52 ≈ 30.8%

This mathematical reality explains why dealer upcards like 7, 10, or Ace matter — they increase the probability of reaching a strong final hand.

Understanding the House Edge

Even with perfect strategic play, the house maintains a small advantage:

Optimal basic strategy: approximately 0.5% house advantage
Uninformed or random play: roughly 2–3% house advantage
Correct methodology dramatically reduces the house edge

Expected Value Analysis

Every strategic choice has an expected value — the average outcome over many repeated attempts.

Analysis: 16 against Dealer 10

Hitting from 16:

Probability of reaching 17–21: 38%
Probability of exceeding limit: 62%
Expected Value: -0.54 units

Standing on 16:

Probability of winning: 23%
Probability of losing: 77%
Expected Value: -0.54 units

Both options yield equivalent negative expected values — demonstrating why 16 versus 10 represents one of strategic decision-making's most challenging situations.

Randomization Method

We use the Fisher–Yates algorithm, a computationally verified method for achieving uniform card distribution:

Start with an ordered deck
For each card position from end to beginning:
- Select a random position
- Swap positions
Result: completely random arrangement

This method represents industry standard in computational randomization and ensures fair outcomes.

Advanced Framework Benefits

While most web systems rely on JavaScript, our platform compiles to advanced assembly, providing:

2–20× faster execution than JavaScript
Consistent 60 FPS on modern and legacy hardware
Smaller file sizes for quick loading
Complete offline operation after initial download
Open-source code

🔒

Verifiable Randomness

Every shuffle and result comes from a deterministic, verifiable process:

Cryptographically secure random number generation
Shuffling occurs before game start
No predetermined patterns — entirely mathematical randomness

Since the code is open-source and examinable, results cannot be manipulated or biased.
