If you’ve ever yearned for the thrill of a Vegas‑style blackjack game—minus the travel—you’ll feel right at home playing Video Blackjack at Stakehouse Den. It’s the classic casino favorite, now reimagined for the Web3 generation, complete with slick visuals, smooth gameplay, and the satisfying buzz of strategy and chance.
In this solo showdown against a computer dealer, the goal is simple: get closer to 21 than the dealer—without going over. Go bust, and it’s game over. Number cards count as their face value, face cards each carry a 10‑point punch, and aces can cleverly shift between 1 or 11, whichever helps you the most.
Here’s how it works:
- Deal: You start with two face‑up cards, while the dealer holds one card face‑up and one hidden (the hole card)
- Blackjack?: If your initial two cards total 21 (an ace plus a 10‑point card), you hit an automatic win—unless the dealer matches you, resulting in a push.
Your Move:
Hit: Draw another card. Stand: Keep your hand as is Double Down: Double your original bet, but draw only one more card Split: If your first two cards are identical, you can split them into two independent hands—each with its own bet
Dealer’s Turn: After you finish, the dealer reveals their hole card. The dealer must hit until reaching at least 17. If they draw a soft 17—an ace plus six—they typically must stand.
Payouts: Winning hands pay 1:1, while hitting blackjack rewards you handsomely at 3:2. If it’s a tie, your bet returns in full.
