We have some big changes in the new version of BlackJack 101 (formerly Blackjack 101 Free).
*** Thru the end of June the upgrade purchase is introductory-priced at $0.99 ***
Now an in-app purchase is available to unlock these features:
• Custom hands training mode (see below) (previously available only in the Pro version)
• Remove Ads
Aside from the name change, the really big change is the introduction of a new mode, custom hands practice: you specify exactly which hands (and dealer upcards) you wish to practice and the app deals only those hands. See the updated description for more info on this feature.

- Minor cosmetic changes
