Day 34 - Multi Hand Premier Blackjack

Said and done, Black Jack it is. I scroll through our different Black Jack offers and there are a few that I have not played before. I click on “Multi Hand Premier Black Jack Gold” and it looks new and well designed. When I open up the game I get to choose from 4 different designs and colors. Looks really nice, and I pick the blue-ish table.

I remember playing something similar to this one, and I actually go through the old Game of the day to make sure it is not the same game. No, the other one was called “Multi Hand Classic Black Jack Gold”. The difference is “Premier” instead of “Classic” in other words.

The design is more crips and shiny and there are some visual effects built in. A bit futuristic compared to the classic green table felts. Of course, it is a bit enhanced since I have chosen to play with the blue design.

The rules differ a bit as well. This one is played with 2 regular decks instead of 5. I notice that I am only allowed to split cards of the same value and face. I split 99 when the dealer has a 7, I hit another 9 and a 7 on the other one. The dealer hits a T and win against one of my split cards, I win the other one. I am playing three hands per round betting €1 per hand. Break even so far, around 10 hands played.

Gah, I am now betting €2 on one of the hands and €1 on the other two. I manage to draw to 21 on the big bet but the dealer hits BJ and I lose. A few Euros minus now, but still stable. My old tactic where I stand on hands where I should hit seem to work. The dealer go bust and I win all three hands, now betting €3 on one of them. €205 now.

I manage to hit BJ on my big bet and my bank roll is now €210. I feel it is time stop here. Actually, Black Jack is not my kind of game. To win big you need to bet big and I am way too cautious to do that. That is also the reason I like Video Slots, since you can win really big even if you bet small. Ok, the chance to win is not that big, but still, there is a chance. “One in a million So you say there is a chance?...”. Great line in a great movie. Do you know which one?

I won responsibly playing Black Jack. Nice.
