Why didn’t somebody think of this sooner? InterCasino has just installed an interesting new game combining video poker and blackjack called “Multi-Hand Video Blackjack.”

In Multi-Hand Video Blackjack, the player may choose to play one, three or five standard blackjack hands. The dealer can play with three, five, 10 or 50 hands. This thereby gives the player between three and 250 game results on a single “hand.”

Fairly standard blackjack rules are otherwise the norm in Multi-Hand Video Blackjack. A blackjack hand pays 3:2, clearly making for some huge payouts in the 250-hand game. Dealer must stand on soft 17 and hit all 16s.

Betting in the game is presented in slightly complex fashion, but it basically works the same as in a multi-payline video slot game. The betting limits are €0.25 to €50 per game result, unless you’re playing against 50 dealer hands, at which point the limits are €0.10 to €50 per game result.

The number of “game results” is calculated by multiplying the player hands times dealer hands. In other words, the minimum that can be played is one player hand to three dealer hands for three game results, or a €0.75 minimum bet. The maximum would pit five player hands against 50 dealer hands for a maximum bet of €12,500.

As for blackjack strategy in the multi-hand game, you may employ a standard blackjack odds card, but clearly you won’t want to surrender at all (more dealer hands mean more winning hands for the player) and doubling down must be strictly standard. But basically Multi-Hand Video Blackjack is still blackjack – just a lot of it at once. Play Multi-Hand Video Blackjack at InterCasino.
