Vegas Downtown Blackjack Gold is part of Microgaming’s latest much enhanced range of games with incredible graphics and sound it offers the absolute best in playability insuring an incredible gambling experience.
Vegas Downtown Blackjack Gold Rules are almost identical to many other Blackjack games with the exception that it is played with only two decks of cards. This will obviously change the odds of the game drastically in the favor of the player. To compensate for bias of only having two decks certain aspects of the game have been changed.
For example: If you receive a 10 and an ace after a split it will count as 21 and not blackjack and you can therefore still be beaten by Blackjack. The Dealer is forced to hit on soft 17, which some argue, increases the Dealers chance of going bust.
