/blackjack Switch
Players from New Zealand can play the regular variants of /blackjack at land casinos. But in order to wager on the more innovative versions of the game they have to play online /blackjack. Players have to register at an online casino, deposit funds, select the /blackjack variant and they are ready to play online /blackjack. All this can be done sitting at home.
There are many online /blackjack variants available. One of the most popular around the world is /blackjack Switch and players from New Zealand love it as well. In /blackjack Switch the player has to play two hands against the dealer. Therefore his selected ante wager is automatically placed on two seats. Two cards are dealt face up on each player seat and the dealer is dealt one card face up and one card face down. Then the player has to make his moves. The first option that he has to exercise is whether or not to make the /blackjack Switch move. This move involves exchanging the second cards of each hand. /blackjack Switch is a very powerful tool that can change two weak hands into two strong hands.
Suppose a /blackjack Switch player is dealt a five and a ten in one hand and a ten and a five in the other. Both hands are valued at 15, which is a weak value. It is rarely good enough to win and hitting on 15 will mostly lead to a bust. In /blackjack switch the player can exchange the ten of the first hand with the five of the second. The first hand has two fives, giving a value of 10, which is ideal for hitting. The second hand has two tens, giving a value of 20, which should be a winning total in most cases. After this option is exercised the game is played in the normal manner. There is no free lunch and the player has to pay a price for the /blackjack Switch move. /blackjack pays even money instead of 3 to 2.
One reason to play online /blackjack is that interesting side bets are offered. /blackjack Switch offers a Super Match bet. This outcome is based on the first four cards dealt to the player. One pair pays even money, three of a kind pays 5 to 1, two pairs pays 8 to 1 and four of a kind pays 40 to 1.
