Double Twist Blackjack

I just left today after my first trip to Vegas. I was playing at the Stratosphere Casino and did well. I highly recommend them for comps and drawing entries for promotional chips. My last night I noticed a table called Double Twist Blackjack. All of the $5 tables were 6-5 for BJ, but they had a $10 table that paid 3-2. The Double Twist game let you play one or two hands at a time in your one spot (so each player can play 2 hands for a total of 12 hands on he table sometimes) and had side bets based on 3 card poker hands between yours and the dealer. The dealer said this game was about 3 months old there and it seemed to go unnoticed as a lot of people playing low money were using the 6-5 tables probably not realizing those odds aren't good. Has anyone else played this game? Thoughts? Wizard? This is my first post, great websites and forums!

I think I saw that game at the Raving/Cutting Edge show. Didn't know about the Stratosphere placement.

Here is a link to the math report.

As usual, the math report mentions a bunch of different pay tables. Do you happen to know the Stratosphere pay table and number of decks used?

Double Twist Blackjack is a Blackjack side bet based on the 3-card Poker hands formed by the dealer's one up card and the first two cards of a player’s blackjack hand. Players win if their 3-card hand achieves a poker ranking of a Pair or better

Eh hem.

This sounds a bit like Derek Webb's 21+5, which uses two player hands plus the upcard and is patented, as well as Cr8tive Games Caribbean Blackjack.

I there any honor.....

not even among murderers, as Sammy the Bull showed John Gotti.

On a side note, was the TWIST table also $5 minimum ? If so a player could have played 3/2 BJ, even 2 hands at a time, by not playing the optional side bet. If the table was $10 minimum, I imagine $10 players would bypass this " NEW" game.

Jackpot 21 is a Blackjack side bet based on the 5-card Poker hand formed by the dealer's one up card and the first two cards of two player Blackjack hands, which wins if the 5-card Poker hand achieves a Pair of Jacks or better. The game may be played with a variety of pay tables.

Sure do seem alike.

Notice on video Caribbean Blackjack felt was designed for just 4 players ? Double Action Blackjack allowed 2 players per hand also, but accommodated 5 players easily, with no added trouble for the dealer. Just saying

Maybe that was what I was thinking of when I said I thought I saw it at Raving.

Yes the table min was $5. I asked why no one was coming over to the table and the dealer thought maybe other players on the 6/5 $5 tables just didn't know or were thrown off by the name. On a side note the dealers don't care for the game because they themselves seemed to be preoccupied by paying out side bets and forgetting to check for their own BJ.

I don't remember the payouts exactly or the number of decks. It was at least 6 though. Is anyone still there that could go check?
