Hint mode

When you start a game you will be prompted to enable hint mode. In this mode if you select an incorrect action based on blackjack basic strategy, you'll be notified and given a chance to correct it.

For example:

Here the player selected to Stand but the correct action was to double down. The explanation for double down is also given as

Double on 10 unless dealer shows 10 or Ace when you hit.

For each incorrect action there is a specific description of the rule that should be applied to justify the correct action.

Session summary

When the hint mode is enabled when you are done playing a session summary will be displayed. It will display info including basic stats for the games played. You'll also be shown a summary of the errors played during the session, including the rule descriptions for error actions.
