Blackjack Love

Blackjack is one game that I do love to play. I dont always do the best at playing the game, but its still alot of fun to play.

I dont know if I would have the guts to try and play it in a casino some where, but I know that I love to play it online as well as at home with friends and family.

When we tend to play at home we play with change. I can usally at least break even or come out a bit ahead, so I guess I do fairly well at this game.

Though still I would proably completely mess up if I were to play with and against people I dont know outside the comfort of my own home,LOL.

Maybe one day I will get the courage up to try it because it is alot of fun to play, but I just dont know. Heck if I ever do get the nerve up to try, I may be able to walk away with a bit extra in my wallet.

I play Black Jack at home alot,I love the game myself.We play with change at home as well as with alcohol sometimes.Dependin on if it is friends or family that we are playing with decides in what we play for.

The people at my work place get together once a week usually in wed. nights after work.They play for bills though and sometimes the pot gets pretty high.It is a very social game and very easy to learn to play.

Lots of people across the Earth get together from time to time and have a blast playing the game of Black Jack be it with friends,family,or at casinos.You should try it if you have never played before,you will love it.

I agree it is a very social game and a great way to meet new friends unless you end up taking all their money,LOL.

I cant say that we have ever played for alcohol, but that would be a good idea when playing with the right people.

Guess I will have to try that next time our friends get together to play a game.

Did you guys hear about the new Blackjack game that is being played at Pala Casino Spa & Resort in California? It's called Blackjack Switch. It might be offered at other places as well, I don't know.

I guess players have been lining up to get a seat. It's a hit.

To begin with, players place bets on two betting positions equally. Next the dealer deals two blackjack hands. Then the player has the option to play the hands as they were dealt or they can switch the second card from each hand. You can only switch after the dealer has checked for a natural blackjack. Then the game is played out with normal house rules.

After switching is done, doubling down and splitting are still allowed.

I think it sounds pretty cool. Something different and it makes it more interesting.

I see why people would be lining up to play. That does sound like it would be a whole lot of fun to play. If I see it in my local casino I will have to check it out.

We could even play this at home with friends and family for something a bit different. Though I think to start us all off it would probably be a good idea if we didn't make any bets or anything like that until we all get a little used to playing Blackjack that way.

I am looking forward to giving this a try now. It sounds like a good time waiting to happen.

Thanks so much for posting this information. Now we will have something new to play this weekend when the friends begin showing up.
