Switch Vegas Downtown Blackjack Rules

In Switch Vegas Downtown Blackjack, the game begins with the dealer dealing two face-down cards to the player while revealing one face-up card and one hole card for themselves. The player then has the option to Hit for an additional card or Stand to keep their current hand.

The objective is to create a hand that has a value closer to 21 than the dealer's hand. Aces can be counted as either one or 11, and face cards (Jacks, Queens, and Kings) are worth 10. A hand with an ace and any non-10 card is considered a "soft hand," while a hand without an ace is a "hard hand." Going over 21 results in a bust, leading to a loss. A natural blackjack, where the initial two cards equal 21, pays out at a rate of 3:2. In the event of a tie, the player's bet is reimbursed.

In terms of basic strategy, the commonly recommended approach is to stand on a hard 17 or higher, as well as on a soft 17 or 18. It is advisable to hit when holding a hard eight or below. In Switch Vegas Downtown blackjack, the dealer follows the rule of standing on a hard 17, but it’s important to note that they are required to hit on a soft 17. Additionally, the dealer employs the peek rule to check for a blackjack if their face-up card is an ace or a ten-value card.

Betting Options in Switch Vegas Downtown Blackjack

Those who opt to play online blackjack for real money can employ the following advanced betting options as part of their blackjack strategy:

Double Down: You have the option to double down on any two cards, even after splitting. By doubling down, you increase your bet by 100% and receive an extra card in hopes of achieving a winning hand. In Vegas Downtown Blackjack, you can double down after a split.

Split Hands: You have the option to split your hand when you are dealt a pair of cards with the same value or two dissimilar 10-value cards. This allows you to separate them into two distinct hands. Each hand is then given an additional card, and equal bets are placed on both hands. You can split up to three times per original hand, resulting in a total of four separate hands. It's important to note that you can only split aces once, and a split ace hand receives only one additional card. Additionally, if you split and receive a 10-value card with an ace, it does not count as blackjack for payout purposes. As a general strategy, it is advisable to split pairs, 8s, or aces, while it is not recommended to split 10s as they already form a strong hand, or 5s as they may weaken the hands.

Insurance: When the dealer's first card is an Ace, you have the option to activate the insurance feature. This allows you to place a bet equal to half of your original wager in order to protect yourself against the dealer getting Blackjack and reduce potential risks. Keep in mind that insurance applies only to your initial hand and does not cover any subsequent hands from splitting or doubling down. If the dealer does not have Blackjack, the insurance bet amount will be deducted from your credits. However, if the dealer achieves Blackjack, you will be favourably compensated at a ratio of 2:1.
