Hi,
My name is David. I am part of a new company that has built and released a beta version of a new blackjack format called vsJack. The game follows all the rules of basic blackjack with two changes:
- Everyone takes turn being the dealer, there is no house
- The dealer plays however they want, there are no dealer rules
It is rake based and, just like in poker where the dealer button rotates around the table, the dealer position rotates. We shuffle the deck after every “deal”, so we don’t keep a shoe. Our RNG is certified by NMi based in the UK.
In this format the house is not trying to stop you from winning. We just want players to have the best experience possible. So, unlike B&M casinos and online casinos, all of you are welcome. We would really like to see how serious blackjack players will work out the best way to play the game.
We are trying to work out how to keep developing the game. At the moment you can double on 7 to 11 but if the dealer doesn’t have to stand on 17 and hit 16 doubling doesn’t offer the same advantage does it? You can split cards that are exactly the same (like two Jacks but not Queen - Jack) but maybe players should be able to split all cards? Should we try playing with 6 decks?
We are planning on having tournaments and are looking for feedback on building them. We are even looking at spread bets during hands.
We want the game to get better and better. Please log in and take a look at www.vsjack.com. All feedback is great.
Thanks for your time,
David
**Some background:
The software has been built by a group of online gaming veterans including people from ongame, Jadestone, bodog, and bwin and we have top security and fraud people making sure that systems are stable and the games cannot be manipulated.
We keep our players’ funds separate from operating funds in an account at HSBC’s Malta branch and take pride in providing top customer service and quick cash outs. We know what players want, we are all card players ourselves.
