Zappit Blackjack
Lesson description
Zappit blackjack is an electrifying new version of blackjack growing in popularity in Vegas casinos. Learn the rules, gameplay, and odds of winning with Mr Blackjack.
Zappit blackjack is very new. The game has not been put up by many casinos in Vegas and around the world just yet, but it's quickly gaining popularity. Lesson 4, zappit blackjack. Zappit rules take the frustration out of bad hands in blackjack that so many players face. Sometimes, you're at the tables and every other hand, seems like a 15 or a 16. Those nights can be very long.
This game allows you to zap any starting hand with a total of 15, 16, 17, or 18. That means if you don't like your hand, you can request two brand new cards. The only difference is that the dealer will push against all hands when their cards equal 22 instead of busting. Yes, even if you have 21, you do not beat a dealer 22. The blackjack payout is still 3 to 2 in this game, though, which does benefit the players.
So we've seen the 22 push in a few variants in this series, including blackjack switch and freebet blackjack. Consider how important for the house edge that 22 is if they allow you free bets, two new cards, or to switch your top two cards. It can have a massive influence on the casino's advantage, so be aware of this when playing blackjack variants.
