Goal: keep a correct running count while cards appear. At the end, enter your final total.
Why this module matters
At a real table, the count has to stay accurate while attention is split. This drill trains stability: you keep the number correct even while cards come fast and your focus tries to drift.
How to use this to increase skill
- Start with 3 cards until you never miss.
- Move to 5 cards and keep the count without replaying the sequence in your head.
- Use 10 cards when 5 feels calm — this is where real mistakes show up.
- If you miss twice in a row, drop one level and rebuild consistency.
How to play
- Choose a round size (3 / 5 / 10 cards).
- Press START ROUND. Cards will flash on screen.
- Keep a running count in your head (start at
0).
- After the last card, use -1 / +1 to set your final number, then press ENTER.

Definitions
- Deck: 52 cards.
- Shoe: multiple decks shuffled together (commonly 8 decks in major casinos).
- Running Count: start at
0 (or IRC for KO), add the count value of every card you see.
- True Count (TC): running count divided by decks remaining. Green (positive) = player advantage. Red (negative) = house advantage. (KO doesn't use true count.)
