BlackJack 21 for The Iphone

The unofficial apple weblog has an interesting review of a new iphone app called BlackJack 21 which is a great vegas style blackjack game.

To play Blackjack 21, you need to learn an odd swipe language. Swipe down to hit, swipe across to stay, double-tap to double-down, and so on. Although it was a bit confusing to pick up (and a little anti-intuitive, since in our family games, we double tap the table to hit and swipe our hands to stay), I soon was betting, hitting, standing and so forth. In Blackjack 21, most of the gameplay is about the animation and sound effects. There are plenty of both. I’m not a huge gambler so I can’t really say much about the gameplay relative to real life. It seems to follow Vegas rules, offering you insurance, etc. at the proper places.
