Riverboat Gambler 17+

I’ve found that black jack is a very fixed and predictable game. Anytime you try to hit a 17 it’s always a bust, ALWAYS! whenever you stand on it, the AI always pulls something one or two higher than your hand. The amounts of 19, 20 and 21’s the dealer AI gets is insane. Way above the amount it should. It’s so bad to the point that I just lost a whole 1k playing against it in ten minutes. Like, there’s no actual chance here, you’re always made to be set up to lose and it’s dumb. Other than that, I like this app. The selection of exotic games, a constant stream of chips and all that. It’s cool. Just make black jack an actual game of chance rather than lose lose and hope the AI has mercy on you

Thanks for posting the review, Nicky! I do appreciate that you took the time. I don't want to come across as a smart aleck, but there is not any Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Riverboat Gambler. The game engine simply takes the number of cards in all of the decks for a game and randomly shuffles them. Then, it deals the cards one at a time like a casino shoe would. Those cards are in the same sequence as the randomized array that was "shuffled". There is no relationship between how much you wager, whether you hit, stand, fold, or play a hand. The rank of the hands are not determined until the hand/round ends. Period. It's really that simple and I just don't know how to convince folks of that. I'm glad you like the games and I'm sorry that Blackjack is disappointing you, but I won't be surprised if you hit a "hot streak" and start to think that either a) you were mistaken, or b) the "AI" was changed. 😎🙃 It's happened with others in the past. RBG was originally intended as a training exercise for me to learn how to write a mobile app and so I could play a realistic version of MS Stud on my iPhone. That it now contains 50+ games on two platforms boggles my mind and is purely a result of Player feedback, suggestions, and requests. I still have a lot to learn when it comes to mobile development, but I can promise you that one of the things that I don't care to learn is how to develop an AI that will cheat people. That seems silly to me and would basically ruin the intent of the app. I personally love this app, play it everyday, and I love interacting with the Player community. Please keep your feedback coming and let me know if you have any suggestions or requests. I am simple to reach using "Send Feedback" from the game menu. Many of the games have "test harnesses" that I can use to test a game to make sure it doesn't break. Those games, like MS Stud, simply use the harness to blindly complete the remaining wagers so that the round can end and the hands can be read; the complex code is in reading and comparing the hands. For those games, I am happy to run simulations and send the results out. Unfortunately, I don't have any test harnesses for Blackjack because that would require some amount of AI to make a Player-style decision on standing or folding. I will add, though, that "hitting 17" doesn't sound like something that would work very often given that, in an 8-deck shoe, there are only 128 cards out of 416 (30.7%) that won't bust the hand. 🙃~Danny

It would seem the creator is as passionate about gambling games as I am, with regular updates, interaction with players I am pleasantly surprised at the quality and all the hard-to -find games! Brilliant!!!

Hey "Nobody"! I can't lie: I'm addicted to the casino! 🤣 There's just something about the lights, the silicon, and those "free" $50 drinks that I can't stay away from. Thanks for posting and for the 5 Stars. Maybe we'll bump into each other one day in "Live Play" and we can hang out! Please tell your friends about RBG! ~Danny

Love the app great learning tool.. Your friend from Canada Joe…

Hey Joe! It was great meeting you and Darrell and your wives at the Mississippi Stud table! Hope to see you again soon. Thanks for the review and the 5 Stars! ~Danny
