A New Twist on a Wagering Favorite 31 May 2006 There is a new twist to some of your favorite online casino games. Playtech released some new great games to their wagering software and these games are changing the way people play at the online casino. Take the classic wagering game of blackjack, wouldn't it be great if you were playing two hands and you could switch your second cards? In the new Blackjack Switch game by Playtech, you can do just that, and increase your chance of winning at an online wagering site. Blackjack Switch may sound great, but keep in mind, that if a wagering site seems like it is increasing your odds of winning, there must be a catch. The catch in Blackjack Switch is the fact that blackjack only pays 1:1 and if a dealer busts and you don't, it's a push not a win. However, there is a saving grace in this wagering game. For starters you can put a bonus bet that pays out if you have a pair or higher between your two hands; meaning if one hand is dealt as an 8/2 and the second is a 9/8; your bonus bet would win for having a pair of 8's. The other great feature, which was mentioned previously, for Blackjack switch is the fact that you can switch your cards. If for example you are dealt an 8/5 and a 6/3, you could switch your 5 and 3 and thus have two hands that are ideal for doubling down; an 8/3 and a 6/5, this increases your chances of winning against the dealer substantially. This game is both fun and easy to play at your favorite wagering sites, assuming of course you have the game of blackjack down. |
