This is a Microgaming variant with a very clean cut set of rules- it’s one of their most popular blackjack games for that reason.

The main rules you need to be aware of are the fact that you can’t surrender and the dealer must stand on all 17. Also, you can’t split ten valued cards that are the same denomination, i.e. you can split a pair of Queens but not a K and a 10 (unlike, say, Vegas DownTown).

This is part of the Gold Series of blackjack games- which all have a quality feel to them. The dealing and graphics are smooth- they’re great to play. Other games in the Series include Vegas Strip Blackjack Gold, Classic Blackjack Gold, and Super Fun 21 Blackjack Gold.
