Hi Lo 13 Blackjack
BlackJack is a great name no matter how you cut the cards. It’s a big favorite anywhere you go, whether you play online or in a real casino. It’s fun and sometimes you get to walk away with some big winnings.
A couple of weeks ago I was playing online at Desert Dollar casino. I played some Roulette and some Video Poker, and even some slots, but the best time I had was playing one of their versions of Blackjack. It’s called Hi Lo 13 Blackjack and I think it’s the best way to up your chances of winning at this already awesome card game. When you put that extra bet down, if you have a good feel for how your luck runs then you can do pretty well on the high or low bet.
That last time I played was a great example of just what that extra bet can do for you. I was in the mood for a few hours of cards, so I used Click2Pay to bolster my cashier balance. I deposited 500 and got to playing right away. I bet 20 on my regular hand and put 20 on a high bet (which wagers that your initial hand’s total will wind up between 14 and 20). My first two cards totaled 14 and the dealer had a five showing. I hit and got a 3, and stood at 17. The dealer wound up with 19, beating me. But, even though I lost my hand, I still won on my high bet because my end total was 17, so it was like just getting my money back! Not bad!
On my next hand I decided to put 50 on my hand and 50 in the Hi bet. I got a 10 and a queen – nice! I held at 20, and the dealer ended with 19. So not only did I win my bet, but I won on the Hi bet too! 200 just like that, I’ll take that any day of the week baby. On the next hand I got a 7 and 3, so I lost my Hi bet, but that’s okay. I doubled and got a 7, and I held at 17. The dealer busted with 23! Woohoo! I had put 100 on that hand so now just in one hand I had made 400 back.
I did not get a Blackjack all night long that night, but I was doing so well between regular hands and my Hi Lo bets (I never place the 13 bet I just feel that it is too random for me), that I did not even care! I came out way ahead at the end of my session.
When I was finished playing for the night I headed over to the cashier and chose to withdraw my money. I used Click2Pay again, I just love that service, it is so easy to use, and I was on my way, a very happy player. I am really looking forward to when I can get back and play Hi Lo 13 again, this is a great game of Blackjack and goes well with the other casino games offered up at Desert Dollar. They know how to please a customer!
