Flash 21 Games
In this "Atlantic City" black jack game, the dealer is dealing from an 8 deck shoe, which is shuffled after every hand. (Almost all online blackjack games shuffle after every single hand.) The dealer will stand on a soft 17, and the player can double on any two cards. The player is also allowed to double after splitting, both of which are advantageous rules variations for the player. Late surrender is allowed, and the player can resplit after splitting up to three hands. Surrendering is an option I never use when I play, but if you know when the correct situation is for surrendering, it will add to your chances of winning. In this particular version of the game, it's correct to surrender when you have a 15 against a dealer 10, and it's also correct to surrender when you have a 16 versus a dealer 9, 10, or ace. (Surrendering is an option in some blackjack games where you don't like your hand, you decide to give up any chance of winning, and you forfeit half your bet.)
Atlantic City focuses more on high stakes blackjack games than the
lower stakes 21 that's so common in a lot of Las Vegas casinos. You
used to be able to find a $5 blackjack game at the Boardwalk, for
example, but it's just not there anymore really. Atlantic City also
has far fewer casinos than Vegas, with only a total of maybe a dozen
or so casinos in the entire city. Some of these Atlantic City
casinos include Bally's, Caesar's, the Tropicana, and the Trump
Marina.
Atlantic City is also well known for being at the center of some
blackjack card counting controversy a few years ago. It's illegal in
New Jersey to refuse to let a "skilled player" play at the blackjack
tables there, so the main countermeasure used against card counters
in Atlantic City is to require them to flat bet, which is completely
legal. (Card counters gain an edge by raising their bets when the
ratio of high cards to low cards in the deck is favorable to the
player.)
There are at least 700 blackjack tables in Atlantic City. The rules
for the game in New Jersey are set by the New Jersey Casino Control
Commission, unlike in Las Vegas and some other gambling destinations
where the blackjack conditions and rules are determined by the
casino management. Many of the blackjack games in Atlantic City use
automatic shufflers.
