Blackjack Strategy Card
It is perfectly fine for you to take your blackjack strategy card with
you into a casino. As long as it doesn't slow up the game when you refer
to it, it's highly unlikely that any of the casino's pit bosses or the
dealer will ask you to stop using it. If you're playing online, it's even
better because you can refer to your strategy card on your own time and
play the game at whatever leisurely speed you so choose.
To make life that much easier for you, we've put together a blackjack
strategy card that you can print and take with you to the land casinos,
or bookmark to use while you play at an online casino.

Don't let the charts get you all confused. They can be confusing and
intimidating at first but if you use them while playing our own free blackjack
game, you'll definitely find yourself learning and understanding much
faster. They aren't that hard to understand, and ultimately they are simply
a tool for your own benefit, not a test or something to be scared of.
