The Blackjack variant - SpaceJack - only
found online at Slotland Casino
The game SpaceJack: Is a unique blackjack look-alike
game.
Spacejack is Slotlands special blackjack game
where you must play 3 hands in one game.
You can bet from $1 to $20 on each of your
hands. Since you are always dealt three hands the max betting
limit is $60. The house edge is about 0.2%, which is rather
good.
Spacejack Rules:
A blackjack will pay you 3 for 1, even if the
Dealer has a blackjack, which is excellent since there are no
other online casinos offering these type conditions while playing
blackjack.
You are automatically dealt 3 hands to play
which is a lot of fun. but you cannot play each hand separately,
so after drawing or doubling down, a new card is added to all
of your hands which is not so good.
If you would like to play only one hand, place
a bet on one hand only. IN order to win the progressive blackjack
jackpot, you must bet "something" on all three hands
and get blackjack on all three hands.
The dealer stands on A-6 which is standard.
Doubling down is allowed on any first two cards,
which is very good.
There is no splitting of pairs allowed.
The dealer does not peak / check for blackjack
until you are finished, so if the dealer does have blackjack
then you will lose the total amount wagered, including any additional
bets from doubling, which is very tough for the player and advantageous
to the casino.
Insurance is not offered if you think that
the dealer might have a blackjack.
No surrender is available.
Spacejack strategy:
The smart player will play the max bet ($20)
on hand 1 and the minimum bet ($1) on hands 2 & 3. Now you
should focus entirely on hand 1 and let the other 2 win or lose,
without much worry. So, for an additional 10% of a basic $20
bet, you are giving yourself a chance to hit the big progressive
jackpot.
Note:
Buried within Slotlands rules you will find
this:
"Please note that all games share the
same mechanism which determines the jackpot win. Thus, with
card games, the probability of hitting the jackpot combination
is not natural but controlled by this shared random mechanism
in the same way as slot machines' wins."
So it's not a true random card game - however
expected return is about 101.7%.
