DESCRIPTION
Project Description
-
The Blackjack Strategy Advisor is a web application designed to help players make optimal decisions in the game of blackjack using Monte Carlo simulations and a pre-computed strategy matrix. The app offers a user-friendly interface where players can input their hands and the dealer's visible card to receive recommendations on whether to "Hit," "Stand," "Double," or "Split." This project aims to enhance players' understanding of blackjack strategy and improve their decision-making at the table.
Key Features
-
Monte Carlo Simulations: The application simulates 100,000 rounds of blackjack to build a comprehensive strategy matrix, considering various player hand totals and dealer upcards. This approach ensures that the advice given is based on statistically significant data.
-
Basic Strategy Integration: The app incorporates basic strategy principles, adjusting for factors such as the number of aces in the player's hand and the dealer's visible card, to provide accurate and reliable guidance.
-
Card Counting Adjustment: The strategy takes into account card counting methods, modifying recommendations when the count is particularly favorable for the player, thereby enhancing strategic decisions.
-
Interactive User Interface: Built with Streamlit, the interface allows users to easily enter their hand and the dealer's card, providing instant feedback on the best course of action. The app's intuitive design makes it accessible to both beginners and experienced players.
-
Comprehensive Strategy Matrix: Users can explore the full strategy matrix, offering a visual representation of the optimal moves for various scenarios, enhancing understanding of the game's strategic depth.
Goals
-
Educate Players: By providing access to a data-driven strategy, the app aims to educate players on the complexities of blackjack decision-making, helping them to play more strategically and improve their chances of winning.
-
Improve Decision-Making: The advisor empowers players to make informed decisions at the blackjack table, reducing reliance on guesswork and increasing confidence in their gameplay.
-
Enhance User Experience: Through a seamless and interactive interface, the app provides a pleasant user experience, encouraging players to engage with the strategy and learn from it.
Future Enhancements
