Video Blackjack

When I went into InterCasino today I noticed a game I haven't come across before called Multi-hand Video Blackjack. I couldn't really understand why you would want a video bllackjack game when you can play at the tables and it's still against the house you're playing but nonetheless, decided to download the Video Blackjack game to give it a whirl.

It's certainly a new one on me and with it being in the casino's main menu, I guess, Video Blackjack is a fairly new game and not one that I haven't just seen before.  The game screen looks slightly similar to video poker games with 5 blank spaces at the top of the screen and three down below.  Since this game was entirely new to me, although I've played a lot of blackjack in the past, I decided to play for minimum stakes (always trying to get the most playing time!) 

Without having a clue what to actually do I chose £0.25 per hand and 5 dealer hands and 3 player hands, mainly because this was the default values.  This gave a total minimum bet of £3.75.  Clicking “deal” sees three hands dealt to me and 5 to the deal.  Of course, although you can see all of your cards, only one of the dealers shows and the card is the same for all 5 hands. 

You then choose, as normal blackjack rules, what you wish to do with each hand, either stand, get another card or double down.  The dealers hands are then all played and the number of wins or losses are recorded at the bottom of the video blackjack screen.  You play each of your hands against each of the Dealer's hands. 

It's fairly straightforward really this Video Blackjack!!  Takes a bit of getting used to though and I'm not sure I really have any different playing strategy than regular blackjack strategy but then again, maybe this is the right way to play.  I'm just not sure.

Video Blackjack is a good game though and certainly makes a refreshing change from table blackjack, I'm sure video poker player will like it as well. I did wonder why the Dealer didn't seem to bust very often but I'm sure it's just the run of the cards, I'll watch this closely next time though.  I played for 15 minutes and ended up £6 down but I can see myself coming back to this one shortly to try and figure out a strategy, if there is one differerent from regular blackjack!  An intriguing game.
