Blackjack Watch - 21 Express

21 Express is blackjack for Wear OS, drawn for a round screen: a night train on the home screen, full-size card faces at the table, and HIT and STAND buttons big enough for a fingertip.

HOW A HAND PLAYS
Set your bet and tap DEAL. You and the dealer get two cards each, and one of the dealer's cards stays face down. Tap HIT for another card or STAND to keep what you have. Go over 21 and the hand is lost. When you stand, the dealer turns the hidden card and draws until reaching 17 or more, and a banner tells you how the hand ended.

THE RULES, PLAINLY
- A blackjack is an ace and a ten-value card as your first two cards.
- Equal totals are a push.
- The dealer stands on every 17, soft 17 included.
- If the dealer is dealt a blackjack, the hand ends at once; you push only if you have one too.
- Every hand is dealt from a freshly shuffled 52-card deck.
- There is no double down, no insurance and no surrender.

SPLIT A PAIR
When your first two cards are the same rank, a SPLIT button appears. It places a second bet of the same size, and each card starts its own hand, played one after the other. Split aces take one card each. You can split once per round, and 21 on a split hand counts as 21, not as blackjack.

YOUR BET
The minus and plus under the table change your bet between hands: in steps of 10 up to 100 chips, then in steps of 50 up to 500. You start with 2,450 chips, and your balance is saved on the watch between sessions.

THE DAILY ROUTE
Once a day the reward route gives free play chips: 100 on day 1, 25 more each day after that up to 225 on day 6, and 500 at the day 7 stop. Tap any stop to see its reward. Come back the next day to keep the streak going; miss a day and the route starts again at day 1. If you run out of chips, the daily reward is your way back to the table.

PLAY CHIPS ONLY
The chips have no value outside the game. They cannot be bought, sold or cashed out, and there is nothing to buy inside the app. No ads, no account, no internet and no phone app: it runs on the watch by itself and asks for no permissions.

Text follows the font size you set on the watch. Needs Wear OS 3 or newer. The game's own labels are in English.
