Vegas Downtown Blackjack Gold Game Guide

Players who enjoy online blackjack for real money can also stand to profit from these advanced betting features:

Multi-Hand Play: You can play up to five hands of blackjack at a time.

Double Down: You can double down on any two cards, and you can double down after you split. To double down, you need to raise your bet by 100% and draw an additional card with the aim of obtaining a winning hand.

Split Hands: You can split any two cards of the same value or two unlike 10-value cards into two separate hands. When you decide to split, each hand is allocated an additional card from the original hand, and an equal-sized bet is placed on each new hand. You can split up to three times per initial hand, resulting in a total of four separate hands. The exception is aces, which you can only split once. Split ace hands are only dealt one additional card. Additionally, if you receive a 10-value card alongside an ace after you split, it does not count as blackjack for payout purposes. The general strategic consensus is that it’s best to split pairs, 8s, or aces, but avoid splitting 10s – that would be wasting an excellent hand – or 5s.

Insurance: This feature can be activated when the dealer's first card is an Ace. To utilize it, you need to place an insurance bet worth half of your original bet. Insurance is intended to safeguard you against the dealer achieving Blackjack and help minimize potential risks. It's important to note that this feature only applies to your initial hand and does not cover any subsequent hands resulting from splitting or doubling down. If the dealer does not have Blackjack, the insurance bet amount will be deducted from your credits and removed from the table. However, if the dealer does have Blackjack, you will receive a payout at a ratio of 2:1.
