Vegas Strip Blackjack
Thanks to Microgaming, the most commonly played blackjack variant, Vegas Strip, is now available online in both regular and gold edition. Played with 4 decks, Vegas Strip is a hole card game with a lot less restrictive Double down and Splitting rules.
Game Rules and Features
With one card facing down, the dealer must stand on all 17 hands and can peek for blackjack on Aces and 10 value upcards. Players either draw an extra card or stand, unless they decide to split equal value cards, dividing then into separate hands. Alternatively, players can double the bet on any two cards and the option is available even after the hand has been split.
Splitting is limited to 3 times or a maximum of 4 hands at the time. The exception to this rule are Aces, which can only be split once and receive no more than one card per new hand. In cases where the new, split hand is a combination of a 10 and an Ace card, the value is counted as 21 instead of a Blackjack. Microgaming's Vegas Strip does not offer the Surrender alternative, but the players can insure against the dealer's blackjack if the revealed card is an Ace.
Payouts & RTP
Microgaming offers the regular paytable - 3 to 1 payout for a Blackjack hand, 2 to 1 for winning the insurance bet and an even pay for any standard hand. Return to player is 99.65% with $1 bet minimum and $1,000 max bet. Players can increase or decrease the bet amount using the - and + tabs placed at the lower left side of the screen.
Recommended Tips
The key to any successful blackjack hand is knowing when to hit, stand and double down. Since you will want the dealer to bust, the most common strategy will command the player to hit on 12 - 16 totals if the dealer has 7 - 9 or an Ace. If not, the player should stand. Any pair with 8 or lower value can be hit. Hands with 10 and 11 totals should be doubled down if the upcard is 2 - 9. Splitting or hitting a certain pair will of course depend on the upcard. You will always want to split Aces or a pair of 8s, stand on 10s or hit on 7s, 6s, 4s, 3s and 2s if the upcard is 8, 9, 10 or Ace.

The wombat says: Take a seat at live dealer Blitz Blackjack – NetEnt’s latest addition to its table games portfolio. It’s called’ Blitz’ thanks to its lightning-fast play, and unlike most live Blackjack games that can accommodate a maximum of 7 players, there are unlimited seats at this table.
Let’s check it out Wombat fans… Drag yourself away from that Leap Gaming Virtual Horses race or whatever you are doing.
Look and Feel
This game was called Live Common Draw Blackjack until October 2019, when it received a refresh. Your game table is standard dark green baize, while the dealers are chatty without distracting your game. The interface gives you loads of play options including live chat and a list of the last ten Dealer hands. And of course, being blackjack, the house edge is low. We’re in the same league here as Genii Jacks or Better Video Poker in terms of the player odds.
Game Play
Live Blitz Blackjack is a multiplayer common draw Blackjack game. NetEnt have created two versions of Blitz Blackjack for low rollers and high rollers – so you can choose which table to sit at depending on your budget. The minimum bet per hand at Low Roller tables is 0.50, and the maximum at High Roller tables goes up to 5,000 in pounds, euros or dollars. It’s the kind of game that the star of the Blinged slot machine might take a fancy to.
Here’s a quick rundown on the rules of this variant :
The game itself is 3:2 blackjack played with 8 decks. Insurance pays 2:1, the dealer stands on 17, and players can double down on any first two cards. Splitting is allowed without limits in additional hands (except for Aces); the same goes for doubling after splitting (except for split Aces).
In this Blackjack variant, all players at the table receive the same set of cards, which makes the game faster. The object of the game is to create a hand with a value that is equal to or closer to 21 than the dealer’s hand without going over.
Side Bets
There are 2 side bets in offer here; 21+3 and Perfect Pairs.
A 21 + 3 bet wins if the first two cards dealt to the player, combined with the dealer card, form to create a winning 3 card poker hand.
A winning hand constitutes a combination of these 3 cards, to create one of the following poker hands: suited trips, straight flush, three of a kind, straight or flush.
The odds and payout are dependent on the type of winning hand – check out the Paytable for more details. FYI: Player swill only be awarded for one winning combination, although their 3 card hand may contain more than one winning combination.
Those are the rules wombat fans!
A 21 + 3 bet is lost if the initial three cards do not combine to form one of the defined 3 card poker hands. Got it? Good.
A Perfect Pairs bet wins if the first two cards dealt in a regular blackjack hand have the same value. The odds depend on whether the pair is of the same suit or of the same colour.
