The game can be played in landscape or portrait on a tablet - portrait only on a phone. Landscape provides a more accurate representation of a casino Blackjack table and more seats. Portrait provides larger cards.
Unless you have turned off the option, a discard tray appears at the upper-left. It is animated to show the number of cards in the tray. As cards are removed from the table, the number of cards in the tray increases. In landscape mode, a shoe, also animated, is displayed at the upper-right. One to six seats are displayed at the bottom with semicircles. Seats that you have set for the player will display $0 at the start. Seats the computer uses will show no values. Your bankroll is at the center near the top. It can go negative. That is, you can borrow money from the casino.
The Stats button will display statistics. It cannot be tapped while the game is animating. That is, dealing or making payoffs. The Error button will display the strategy table related to the last error that you made, with information about the error and the violation in the table blinking.
If you have opted to see counts and error rates on the Stats screen, they will appear at the upper-middle.
When it is time to bet, a bet selection overlay will appear above the table on a Plexiglas platform. Tap on one of the values to make a bet. Or, tap on one of the buttons as follows:
Once you have made your bet, the dealer will start dealing. If you have set the options to include other players, they will also receive cards. When it is time for a play, a pointer will appear showing the hand that is currently in play. You can make decisions by tapping buttons, or making gestures as follows:
Once you stand, the other players will play and the dealer will complete her hand. Then, one at a time, the dealer will handle payoffs. You will see signs indicating wins, losses, bonuses, etc., and the amounts in the seat boxes will change. They will then be zeroed and the amounts moved to the bankroll if you have won. Blackjacks are resolved immediately (unless the dealer has an ace and does not peek). Side bets are usually resolved before the play. There are various exceptions according to the rule settings. After everything is resolved, you will go back to betting.
