Free to play it.

Your link is broken. But I got to the right site afterwards. I'm playing now. I like the background music...

Try again, it's on now. I am learning. Please give me a break.

So I visited the site.

Whats a Natural pair?
Dealer wins tie hand and tie bet pays 10 to 1 seems contradictory.

I think I need to go sober up before trying to play this game... and if so, it won't sell well in Vegas.

I think the redefinition of "pair" is really going to confuse blackjack players. I had 2,4 and hit J and then 2 and therefore had a "pair of 2s". I don't think a blackjack player would ever look at 2, 4, J, 2 and think "that's a pair of 2s". Also, in regular BJ, any two 10-value cards are a "pair" -- they can be split -- but in your game a hand like J, Q doesn't count as a pair of 10-value cards.

Losing on a tie is a major downer, especially when you've drawn to a 21. And the basic strategy is going to be very, very different than regular blackjack, so this game will have a very high learning curve. Also, I'm not sure whether players would like standing on a pat 19 vs. dealer 4 and having the dealer turn over another 4 for an automatic dealer win. My advice is to compare your game with Spanish 21 or Super Fun 21 on a feature-by-feature basis and see what might work and what might not.

But I do like the demo music.

Tried it out, and can't say I found it very exciting. The lack of a blackjack payout and dealer winning ties really seem to put pressure on you. I think the game could be better with somewhat less tough basic game rules (remove DWT, even if adding something else for the house) at the cost of reduced pair payouts. Non-identical face cards should probably count as a 1:1 pair. It's still a 20, a strong hand if played out.

I'm sure players will like the tie bet because of the 10:1 payout.

First 2 cards make a pir is a natural pair. Hit pair is you hit cards and get a pair.

wonder how many people know that. More importantly, I wonder how many do not. They are the potential players who would be turned off by any sort of confusion.
