Multihand Blackjack
Loading...Serious blackjack players who opt for betting on a few hands at a time should try Multihand Blackjack from Microgaming where they can play up to 5 hands all at once. Attractive to New Zealand beginners and experts alike, this variant allows for betting NZ$1 to NZ$200 in real money (and even bitcoin as the case may be). This is a hole-card game played with five regular 52-card decks. When scoring 9, 10 or 11 in the initial hand, a player may utilize a Double Down option.
If the initial deal of any player’s hand results in a pair of identical cards, e.g. two kings, a Split option gets unlocked which can be used just once per hand. There is a very rare rule implemented in this online casino blackjack: A player is entitled to draw to split aces as many times as needed. However, doubling after split is not possible. Also note that any 10-valued card added to an ace after split is counted as 21, not blackjack, and thus it does not win automatically. Dealer must stand on all 17s and this increases player edge slightly. Experts believe that the house edge in Multihand Blackjack is an average of 0.5% as long as the basic strategy is fulfilled.
