Sky Vegas Sings for England With Classic Blackjack Games

LONDON, May 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Sky Vegas' England Blackjack Game one of many variants on much loved old classic

Sky Vegas, the thrilling onsite casino leader, is always innovating the casino experience, keeping traditional casino games alive, fresh and exciting. From their Zuma slot game to their Community Roulette, Las Vegas comes to life online.

Blackjack needs no introduction for diehard fans of casino. A Vegas classic, the game is perhaps one of the most familiar and synonymous with Las Vegas gambling glamour.

Easy to play with big rewards, the game is ever-popular with Sky Vegas customers and Sky Vegas wants to keep it that way. They now offer up to nine different variations of the game, meaning that traditionalists and those looking for the brand new can enjoy a steadfast favourite.

Part-skill, part-luck, Blackjack is a real player's game, dependent on style and grace under pressure!

The aim of classic Blackjack is to get a score as near to 21 as possible without going over, whilst still getting a higher score than the dealer. But before dealing any cards, players must place their bets. Once made, they will be dealt two cards alongside the dealer - one face down and one face up. Players win if their card total is closer to 21 than the dealer or if the dealer goes bust.

Sky Vegas offer many twists and variants on the standard format, from Power Blackjack to Blackjack-low-stakes. However, with the European Championships around the corner, Sky Vegas shows their support for the England football side with a patriotic edition of Blackjack, aptly titled, England Blackjack.

The rules are straightforward, with three betting circles to place bets. Players can choose between one and three hands to play. When the mouse pointer is moved inside a circle it becomes highlighted in gold. The total value of the stake will be displayed alongside the chip(s). Chip values can be mixed on a particular bet and players can click on a different chip to change its value. If players want to play all three hands of Blackjack, they simply place their chips in all three circles. By clicking Deal, players get the bet rolling!

The list of Blackjack games cater for those die-hard traditionalists and players hungry for a twist to the classic game.
