Wingman Mode

Wingman mode is an optional assistant that recommends the optimal play for your current hand on every turn — hit, stand, double, split, or surrender — based on basic blackjack strategy.

Toggle it on or off using the wingman button during any game. The recommendation appears as a highlighted action button so you always know what to do.

Turns

Wingman runs on turns. Each hand you play with wingman active consumes one turn.

  • Voting on top.gg grants +5 turns per vote (max 20)
  • Stripe Club members get unlimited turns

When you run out of turns, wingman stays toggled on but won't make recommendations until you refill.
