Irish Blackjack – Dublin your money made easy?
Basic Strategy BlackJack with Early Payout® is a patented game, offered only by VueTec Ltd. You may well ask “Who the hell is VueTec?” – we certainly did!
VueTec (Guernsey) Ltd own and manage a new style of online casino called DublinBet.com, in association with The Fitzwilliam Card Club and Casino, Dublin Ireland.
DublinBet.com primarily focusses on it’s amazingly different web-casted live dealer games. No they’re not topless, nude or even tacky – you actually get to sit in on the live play at a real casino with Irish-accented players wandering on by your table at 4 in the morning!
The Fitzwilliam Card Club is a “bricks and mortar” casino located in the heart of Dublin in Ireland.
Anyway, this blog is not about the live dealer games, although they are worth a look – today is about the Blackjack!
This new game is called “Auto Blackjack Early Payout” and looks fairly tame (simple graphics) and you could easily dismiss it until you have a go.
- Early Payout, is an offer at each stage of the game to payout on your hand, based on the cards dealt so far, and the dealer’s “up” card.
- Not surprisingly, strong hands are offered higher Early-Payouts than weaker hands. The Early Payout figure is calculated, based upon the average expected outcome of the hand as dealt, and the Dealer’s “up” card.
- You can choose to allow the game to continue using Basic Strategy, or to take the Early Payout. If you choose to take Early Payout, then any additional cards dealt to your hand are not included in your final result.
- If you choose to allow the hand to be dealt to conclusion using Basic Strategy, then the final result is evaluated against the dealers completed hand.
