Day 20 - Multi-hand Classic Blackjack

I am continuing on the Multi-track. We have a game at Videoslots.com that is called Multi-hand Classic Blackjack. It belongs to our Gold-series and is a classic version of Blackjack where you, just like in the real casinos, have the opportunity to play multiple hands against the dealer.

I check out the rules and the game is played with 5 regular decks of cards. Does that mean that you can count cards? Hmm, I don’t know how that works, I am sure that you players have a better idea.

I begin with placing the minimum bet, €1, on three out of five boxes. I lose some in the first rounds and decide to raise the bets and play all five boxes, let´s hope that tactics work. I now place four €1 bets and one €3 bet, totally €7 per game. I am down to €182 before I win a few rounds, taking me back to €201.

I lose some again and I am now down to €180 but then I hit a nice round where I hit BJ on the big bet, and get 20 on two split kings. I hold the other hands and take a chance that the dealer will go bust since he holds a five. The tactics work and the dealer get 22. Back at €200 again.

Once again I try to hold all hands when the dealer has a six, but this time I am out of luck. The dealer draws to 21 with four cards. Gah! In the following hand i mix the two different tactics and hit cards on two of the hands and hold the others. This time it works and the dealer goes bust. Back at €200. Again.

I win some as you can see, but I feel really unlucky sometimes. This time I hit blackjack with the big bet hand and I get 19 and 20 in the other hands. The dealer has a three and I am confident that I will win them all. But no, he draws to 21 with four cards again and I only win the blackjack hand.

I have been winning and losing, going up and down in between €180-€200 during the whole session. The 30 minutes are almost over and it would be nice to pass €200. A few minutes more, then I am out.

Nope, time to end this session. I finish at €182 after an attempt to play only two hands with a €4 bet per hand. I am break even in those hands and I feel I am satisfied. It really enjoyed playing some real Blackjack, just like in the casinos. A few Euros down today again, men the bank roll is still alive. I mean, I am playing with way more than my normal €10 budget.

Today’s session felt a bit loose, and unfortunately not to responsible either. I need to find my positive attitude again. Check in tomorrow again and see how it goes.
