The Count

How to use (Hi-Lo)

Tap +1 for each 2–6, 0 for each 7–9, and −1 for each 10, J, Q, K, A. As you count, the app automatically estimates decks remaining from the total decks in the shoe you set above, and uses that to calculate your true count and edge.

The strategy tables are always visible: one for Hard totals, one for Soft hands, and one for Pairs. The Estimated Edge uses a simple approximation: a base house edge (from the rules you set) plus about 0.5% per true count. Actual edges depend on exact rules and penetration.

This is a practice tool only; using devices to assist play in-casino can violate house rules and regulations.

On desktop, you can also use the keyboard: keyboard shortcuts (↑ = +1, ↓ = −1, ← = 0, N = new shoe – reset shoe, R = reset count only, 1–6 = decks & new shoe).
