New Vegas features a variant of blackjack called “blackjack 21.” This game is played with a standard deck of 52 cards, with an Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 worth 1 point each. Aces are high and count as 1 point; 2s through 10s are low and count as 0 points.
The object of the game is to get as close to 21 points as possible by drawing cards and discarding until you have the desired number of cards (two through ten). If you have an Ace in your hand and draw a card that adds to your total (Ace plus another card), you keep the new card and discard the old one. If you draw a card that subtracts from your total (Ace minus another card), you must either put that card back into the deck or put it into the discard pile.
If you want to stay in blackjack 21, you must eventually lose at least one bet. When this happens, the dealer will give you one final chance to continue playing for a payout based on how close you were to 21 points when your last bet was lost.
If you do not want to play any more blackjack 21 games, then you can either cash out or place another bet.
There are several things that can happen while playing blackjack 21 that can affect your chances of winning. The most important thing to remember is to never forget what point value each number has when playing this game. For example, if you are playing against someone who has an Ace in their hand and drAWS a four (a number which subtracts from your total), it is important not to let yourself get too excited since four would only be worth three points in this situation.
Another thing to keep in mind is how many hands each person is currently playing. The dealer will give each player two hands before taking away one hand for a break. This means that if someone has already played five hands and wants to switch over to the other player’s table so they can get some rest before their next hand, they may have to wait until after their current hand is finished before doing so.
Also remember that if someone else at the table gets dealt a wildcard (a special kind of card that does not belong in any specific category), then all bets are off for that particular hand and the other players at the table will receive half their original bets back as consolation payments.
