Blackjack Smack

Blackjack Smack is a free play-money blackjack game in the browser built around one Daily Challenge. Everyone gets the same seeded deck for the day, a £1,000 stack and 21 hands to play, and the goal is to finish with as much money as possible. The twist is the dealer: a voiced character who mocks your decisions as you play, so the site suggests turning the sound on.

A day's challenge plays like a normal table. You place a bet, take your two cards and choose to hit, stand, double down or split. The house rules are listed in the game: blackjack pays 3:2, the dealer stands on any 17, a tie returns your bet, you can split only once, a 21 on a split hand does not count as blackjack, and you can double after splitting except on aces. After the 21st hand (or when your money runs out) your final stack is your score.

Scores go on a daily leaderboard, with weekly and all-time tables as well, and there are achievements for things like playing all seven daily challenges in a week. You can play as a guest; a free account lets you pick a leaderboard name and keep your progress. An optional one-time purchase unlocks an endless Practice Mode, extra dealer commentary and a VIP badge. No real money is ever wagered or won.

It suits people who enjoy blackjack strategy but want a fair daily comparison: because the deck is the same for everyone, the leaderboard shows who played the same cards best, not who got luckier shuffles.
