Vegas Strip Blackjack

Just like any other casino game, blackjack also comes with many variations. Based on one of the most popular of these, Microgaming has come up with the Vegas Strip Blackjack game. 

About the Vegas Strip Blackjack game 

The Vegas Strip Blackjack game comes with very simple rules. Played with 4 decks where the cards are shuffled after every round, the main aim is to get a total greater than that of the dealer but not more than 21. 

Every card in the deck is assigned a value; number cards are valued as their corresponding numbers while the picture cards are valued as 10, except the Ace which can either be a 10 or a 1 as per the player’s choice. 

Every player is dealt with two cards and depending on the cards in hand and the open card of the dealer, the players can either hit, stand, double down, split, etc. In case the dealer's open card is an ace, players can also opt for insurance but experts feel that it is best to avoid this move as it increases the house edge which is disadvantageous for the player. The Vegas Strip Blackjack comes with one of the lowest house edges, which is why it is one of the most preferred casino games. 

The importance of a strategy 

Looking at the basic rules of Vegas Strip Blackjack, it is obvious that players have to take a decision at every turn on how to proceed with a hand. Every such decision influences the final outcome which is why the concept of strategy is very important. The best way to describe a strategy is that it is a list of actions depending on a particular scenario. 

Since players have to consider the cards in their hand and that of the dealer’s when making a decision, they can imagine the possible combinations beforehand and devise the best way to proceed for every combination of cards and write it down. This is called a strategy and players are allowed to have the strategy or cheat sheet at hand when playing the game. 

Conclusion 

Thus, rather than leaving things to luck, players can maximize their chances of winning by formulating a strategy and practicing it. Vegas Strip Blackjack comes with a demo mode too providing players with the option to practice for free before playing for real money.
