Hi, I’m Dylan from Maple Ridge Haven. I’m making Fair21: Blackjack, a free-to-play PC game for solo play or a table with friends using a room code. The full game is still in development; the Windows Steam Demo is playable now.

I’m starting this thread with a part of the game I’d like to make easy to understand: checking a hand after it ends.

In this hand, my 18 loses to the dealer’s 21.

The Fairness panel puts the dealt cards next to the browser’s recalculated cards. It also compares the result and the virtual-chip settlement. Players can export the hand record, too.

The screen starts with actual cards rather than a list of hashes. The detailed checks are underneath. Today I put together a short walkthrough using screenshots from this same hand, so people can see where the check is and what it compares.

This is a local Demo capture using a development key. It checks the recorded hand, not a third-party fairness certification.

Fair21 on Steam — the Windows Demo is available now

Does the card comparison make sense without a technical explanation? What would you want to see first when a digital blackjack hand feels wrong? I’ll use this thread for further development updates and player feedback.
