iBlackjack: First Native Casino Game for the iPhone

If you are a game-loving iPhone owner you might have been quite disappointed to see that games did not show up in iPhone's feature list. Maybe not anymore if you like playing Blackjack as iPhone hacker McCarron has just released Alpha Release 3 of his native iPhone game aptly called "iBlackjack".

iBlackjack is the first unauthorized native casino game for the iPhone.

Blackjack (also known as 21) is one of the most popular casino card games in the world and McCarron has just brought the game to the iPhone. The good thing is that McCarron has used Apple's UIKit framework to develop the native iPhone game, the same framework used by Apple to get the YouTube and Google Maps applications onto the iPhone.

I had stumbled upon this native iPhone game a couple of weeks back, but back then few basic BlackJack functionalities were missing and it also wasn't that easy to install so thought of waiting for sometime before writing about it. As those issues are now addressed in the latest alpha release version I think if you are game-loving iPhone owner it would be worthwhile to give it a test run.

As per the iPhone hacker, iBlackJack can be installed using the very cool Installer.app so as mentioned earlier installing it on your iPhone should not be too complicated.

Use the appropriate links below to install "iBlackJack" on to your iPhone:

Other than Installer.app there are other ways of installing the iPhone game, here is the link to the installation instructions.

Note from the developer: "You must install Community Sources to access Ste's repository for iBlackJack."

However do remember that as the iPhone game is still in its alpha version you might hit some bugs; please do report them at this link as it will help the developer to make the native iPhone game even better.

Patrick McCarron thanks for the iPhone game and keep up the good work.

Folks as always it would be great to get a first hand report from you folks on iBlackJack in the comments.
