> Has anyone tried to play Blackjack on an iPhone recently? It is almost impossible to find an app that lets you play any casino games without -buying chips- to play.

Why would someone spend the time and money to develop an app that is not monetized?

You’d need a server to manage state and that’s an ongoing cost as well. It doesn’t exist because it’s not economical to do so.

You realize you can run code on the iPhone right? There's nothing inherent to blackjack - or any casino game whatsoever - that would necessitate holding remote state (Multiplayer obviously a different story).

I think the chips have to have some value, pressing a reload 10m wallet button will make a pointless gambling game, loose win who care just get more free chips Gambling Games devolve to everyone all in, everyone bluffing
