Vegas Downtown Blackjack

Vegas Downtown Blackjack Review

Microgaming’s Vegas Downtown Blackjack takes you straight to the heart of classic Las Vegas, offering a simple, no-frills experience that’s all about the cards. It sticks to the traditional Microgaming blackjack rules: the dealer hits on a soft 17, player blackjack beats dealer blackjack, you can split up to three times, and doubling down is allowed after your first two cards. Insurance is on the table, but late surrender isn’t an option.

What makes this version stand out are a couple of cool extras, like being able to re-split Aces, plus the use of just two 52-card decks that are reshuffled after each hand. If you’re feeling a bit more ambitious, you can try the multi-hand version, which lets you play multiple hands at once, giving you a chance to sharpen your skills and make smarter decisions.

For newcomers to Microgaming blackjack games, the “Expert Mode” is a great way to get the hang of things. You can also use the auto-play function, where the game follows a strategy table you can customise to fit your playstyle.

While auto-play takes away some of the emotional highs and lows of the game, it speeds things up, letting you get through more hands quickly. The table limit is 500 credits, so you’ve got room to make your moves.

Vegas Downtown Blackjack is just one of over 40 blackjack variations in Microgaming’s collection. Whether you’re new to the game or a seasoned pro, there’s a blackjack style to suit every taste.
