Free Printable Strategy Cards
The same math that runs our simulators, folded to pocket size. Free, because a correct chart shouldn't cost money, and a chart sold as a way to beat the house is selling something else.

Blackjack Strategy Cards
Computer-perfect basic strategy for the tables you'll actually find, not one chart pretending to fit every rule set.
A full-size reference chart plus four cut-out pocket cards: 4–8 decks and single deck, each in S17 and H17 versions, with double-after-split and late-surrender plays throughout.
Spanish 21 Strategy Cards
The 48-card deck changes almost every play. These cards know the difference, including when the 6-7-8 bonus should change your move.
Four pocket variants (H17, S17, and both redoubling versions with the post-double rescue card) plus a how-to-play guide. Card-count codes cover the hit-instead thresholds unique to Spanish 21.
Double Down Madness Strategy Cards
A one-card start and escalating redoubles make intuition useless here. These cards come straight from the exact solver behind our simulator.
All three payout versions (identify the table by its posted blackjack pays), the one-card opening rules, a payout guide, and a how-to-play card. Includes the published house edges per version.
Craps Strategy Cards
The table with the best bet on the floor also has the worst. These cards tell you which is which before you reach across the layout.
A one-page guide plus two identical cut-out pocket cards. Covers the come-out and point rules, free odds at true 2:1, 3:2 and 6:5, and the edge on every common bet from pass line at 1.41% up to any seven at 16.67%.
Roulette Strategy Cards
There is no bet on the layout that changes the house edge. The only decision that does is which wheel you sit at, and these cards make that decision quick.
A one-page guide plus two different pocket cards, one for the single-zero wheel and one for the double-zero. Full payout ladder, the 2.70% / 5.26% / 7.69% comparison, the 7.89% first-five trap, and why progressions rearrange bet sizes without touching probability.
Baccarat Strategy Cards
Three bets, no decisions, and one of them costs thirteen times what the others do. The cards also print the drawing rules the dealer applies for you.

Video Poker Strategy Cards
Two machines can look identical and return two percentage points apart. These cards carry the 9/6 Jacks or Better hold order and the paytable check that spots the difference.

Three Card Poker Strategy Cards
The whole Ante-Play decision is one hand: Q-6-4. These cards show what sits above it and what the Pair Plus side bet really costs.
A one-page guide plus two identical cut-out pocket cards. The Q-6-4 raise rule, dealer qualification and how the Ante and Play settle, the three-card hand order (a straight beats a flush), and both paytables. Ante-Play 3.37%, Pair Plus 7.28% on the common table.
Four Card Poker Strategy Cards
The dealer gets six cards and never has to qualify, so the raise size matters more than the raise itself. Two thresholds cover the whole game.
A one-page guide plus two identical cut-out pocket cards. Raise 3x on a pair of tens or better, 1x on twos through nines, fold the rest, with the four-card hand order and both paytables. Ante 3.40% on this simple strategy, Aces Up table 5 at 3.89%.

A one-page guide plus two identical cut-out pocket cards. Both decisions in full, including the three-card straight-flush draws worth riding, the four-card rules, and the standard paytable. 3.51% per initial bet, 2.86% element of risk.
Mississippi Stud Strategy Cards
Five bets, three decisions, and a paytable that pushes on a pair of sixes. The point-count method fits on a card; the reason it works does not.
A one-page guide plus two identical cut-out pocket cards. The 2 / 1 / 0 point values and the raise rules for all three streets, plus the standard final-hand paytable. 4.91% per ante, 1.37% of total action.
Casino War Strategy Cards
One decision exists in this game and most players get it wrong. Going to war costs 2.88%; surrendering costs 3.70%.
A one-page guide plus two identical cut-out pocket cards. How the hand resolves, what the war raise actually pays, why the edge comes from risking two units to win one, and the 18.65% cost of the 10-to-1 Tie side bet. Six-deck standard rules.
Slots Reference Cards
There is no playing decision on a slot machine, so this is not a strategy card. It is what to check before you sit down and how to read the number on the info screen.
A one-page guide plus two identical cut-out pocket cards. Turning published RTP into a house edge, what volatility and hit rate do and do not change, the paytable and bet-mode items worth checking, and setting loss, time and spin-cost limits.
Confirm the email and the links are waiting on the thank-you page. Every figure on these cards is recomputed with the solvers behind our simulators before it's listed, and anything our engines cannot reach is recorded rather than waved through. Strategy lowers the house edge to its floor; nothing lowers it past zero.
Printing them
- Print page 2 of each PDF in landscape at 100% / Actual Size, never "Fit to page", or the cards shrink off-spec.
- Cut along the dashed borders.
- Match the card to the posted table rules before you trust a single cell: deck count and S17/H17 on the blackjack family, the blackjack payout on Double Down Madness, and the paytable on the poker-family games and video poker.
- A clear badge sleeve or a strip of packing tape makes them last a trip. Casinos allow strategy cards at the table; using one is legal everywhere in the US.
