Video BJ

I ran across a video BJ terminal from Game King and the rules that I saw were S17, DOA, 1 deck. Does anyone here happen to know if the rules for splitting are the same as hey are at most joints where u can split up to 3 hands and double on them? If so, I would say this makes this the best slot machine a player can play.

Ssshhhh

Slots are random ... Vbj is not... at least gameking isn't. Sure it has the 3:2 pay schedule? Sometimes you can split 3 times sometimes not...

if the rules don't state how many times you can split you can either watch some one playing till they get to a multiple split situation or just try it your self.

does it allow das and is it 5 for 2, errh lol 3 to 2 for snappers?

I certainly don't remember seeing anything saying it wasn't 3:2 on the rules. That's something I definitely would have noticed.

I don't quite understand. Are you saying that when you play a GameKing machine, the cards dealt to you are not random? Because I happen to know for an absolute FACT that this is not true.

Bang away my friend

Free rooms n meals... Bang away... Usually casinos treat the bj machines like vp...so usually twice as much money needs to be run through as slots for the same number of points on a players card... You have a break even game usually with those machines...
They are on the up an up...not a slot..totally random. Shuffle every hand..

I don't see an issue here that makes deleting this thread important.

The GameKing video blackjack games are normally set to pay "2 for 1" for blackjack, which is even money. Occasionally, you'll find a mistake where the paytable is set to "5 for 2", which is the normal 3:2 payout. This is generally a good thing to find. ;)

The original question asked about splitting. Splitting is once only, and the games can be configured for DAS or no DAS. Most common is Double 10,11 only as well. There is a six-card charlie automatic winner.

Here's the weirdest thing. The dealer stops drawing at 6 cards as well, and the game pays based on the point totals at that point. It really sucks to stand on a stiff and be beaten by a 6-card dealer stiff. For example, T3 loses to 6222AA. 14 beats 13!

thanks Ken

I was just kidding . Your right about mistakes being made on the snapper payoff 5for2.. I think by the description of the rules page, thunder gave me, it has the 2for 1 pay schedule..

Ken in the worst case senario if the the machine is random the HA is only 2+%. Much less than you double zero roulette table game. And many times less than your slot machines. So where is the catch.
I suppose they can have a high minimum bet but will the machine make money for the casino.

Mostly an Advantage slot and VP player here, limited live BJ play, but have a question on HA for these GameKings. I have a local shop with some very high bonus points days and will be playing either VideoRoulette or the GameKing VBJ, but can't quite locate an exact HA for the VBJ machines to compare if it's a better play than the Roulette.

So I'm wondering if anyone can note the HA and where I may be able to produce a basic strategy sheet (I searched but couldn't locate a strategy engine that I could plug in all the rules options).

If so, thanks in advance for the assistance.

There are a few rules variations based on lower and higher betting amounts.

All machines are the 1-hand at a time play.

-----
Uses ONE 52-card deck

Dealer stands on all 17's
Dealer stops draws on all 6-card < 21 (Ken Smith noted that in above post)
Player wins on 6-card <= 21
Insurance pays 3 for 1
Double on 10-11 only
Split aces once, receive 1 card only
Surrender on any 2 cards unless dealer has Ace

Aaaah!! BJ pays 2 for 1, but of course

No DAS
No resplit

1 added note: The top rules set is obviously the best, but it's for much lower stakes, so I may be willing to take the smaller % return for the higher stakes bets.

Avoid. Whenever you see a game using deceptive terminology like "2 for 1" (what anyone else would call even money) it's something to stay away from. You can surely find a VP game better than this.

The first game is a better game than double zero roulette.
