BlackJack Choice

[Terredar]

ABOUT THE GAME
Choice Blackjack is fixed-odds game based on a classic card Blackjack game. Twist is that you can choose which card to play.

HOW TO PLAY?
The cards are dealt faced down from the top of the pack, 5 cards to you and one card to the dealer. The card in the first hand will be turned face up and the return (price) will be shown in a small box next to each of the two cards.
Choose a card that you wish to start of with by clicking on the card you selected to play. That can be either of two cards that are open. The card you choose is for you while the other goes to the dealer.
Choose a stake of your bet by scrolling up/down then confirm via submit&deal button.
Play your hand until you are satisfied that you are as near as 21 as possible and& or you are of the opinion that you can beat the dealer. Turn another card by selecting "hit" or stay with the hand by selecting "stand".
When one hand is finished you are automatically transferred to the next one.
The hands dealt previously for each played hand will be displayed on the history bar on the bottom.

RULES
The basic premise of the game is that you want to have a hand value that is closer to 21 than that of the dealer, without going over 21.
There are 5 hands offered in a game. Although a player can choose when to finish the game please note that with all the previously held hands on display there is a better advantage to play all 5 hands.
If you reach over 21 you will loose. If that occurs the dealer will not have to show the rest of the cards.
If you choose to "stand", the dealer will play out to as near 21 as possible. If the dealer gets nearer to 21 than you, he wins. If the dealer reaches over 21, you win. In both cases the dealer must show his cards.
If you get blackjack - 21 with ten and an ace, you win.
If both, you and the dealer, get blackjack all the stakes will be returned (pushed).

It sound realy interestind, I was up 1K after 1h play. Betting 50 wen I wasn't sure if I can win, 100 wen I had a 10 and 150 when I had an Ace. But I'm also sure that the House Edge is probably way higher than with normal BJ (as it's from a casino), you can't double nor split and pays BJ 1:1. The amount you win is also different for the card you choose (if it's more likely you win you will get less).

If you can't vary your bet between the 5 hands then the only advantage is that of CD play which isn't much at all. It doesn't make any mention of number of decks, BJ payout, doubling, surrender, or splitting. If you take all those away the EV is horrendous.

Well you can vary your bet while you choose your hand. It's for fun, the House Edge sure is high (no split, no double, no surrender and you don't get much out of a Blackjack)
