Blackjack Switch
Casino games are always evolving even if it doesn’t feel like that. If you need proof, take a look at Blackjack Switch. Invented in 2009 by Geoff Hall, this is a special dual-hand variant of blackjack with a unique special feature. After the two hands have been dealt to each position, the player is allowed to initially change the top two cards between the hands, in that way possibly improving his position. Instead of 3:2, naturals are paid 1:1, and a dealer’s 22 pushes all hands but a natural. By switching the top two cards between the hands, you may stand a much better chance against the dealer.
Imagine being just a card away from a natural or a great count that puts you in a great position to win. All the other rules are the same – the game is played with 4, 6, or 8 decks of 52 cards, with no limit on doubling or splits. These are resolved separately on the table, as are any side bets if you put your money on them. With the new dealer 22 rule which results in a push instead of a bust, this is an excellent variant for new players that gives them a fighting chance.
Blackjack VIP
Blackjack is a game often associated with VIPs and deluxe casino tables. It simply oozes quality and class, and that’s nowhere more evident than in Blackjack VIP. A classy table of online blackjack, it has amazing winning potential with an RTP of 99.40%. The rules are simple – the dealer has to hit on totals under 16 and on a soft 17. Naturals pay 3:2, and losing to blackjack results in a push rather than a full-on bust. All other bets that have not busted will be pushed and you will get your original bet in return.
Players are allowed to double down on all two-card hands and split only once. You can also split aces just once, and you can also put your money on the insurance side bet. Surrender is possible as well, and in terms of side bets, you have Perfect Pairs and 21+3. These aren’t tied directly to the outcome of the round. Instead, they pay as much as 25:1—for a matched suits pair—or 100:1 for Suited Trips with 21+3. It’s a classic and classy game of blackjack you’ll love to try, and the best part of it all is that you can practice on it for free.
