One popular variation of the game of blackjack found at Sky Vegas goes by the name of "Anything Goes" To the casual observer playing anything goes looks just like basic play blackjack. All the rules are the same as well as the payouts. In truth it is possible to play unlimited hands of blackjack without bringing in the "anything goes" option but when they do, all hell can break loose. At any virtual blackjack table offering "anything goes" option there are four additional betting areas that are never used till the player opts to kick in an. "anything goes" play option.
These options are as follows:
- To Replace One Of The First Two Cards In The Hand:
- Players have the option to replace either of the two cards in their initial hand, drawing a new card instead. By choosing to do so, they automatically forfeit their initial bet, and must place a new bet of the same value as their initial one and place it in the circle marked "1" on the table.
- To Replace The First Of Their Double Down Cards:
- After doubling down, the player can enjoy the option of forfeiting the double down card if they are unhappy with it and draw a new card. By choosing to do so, they automatically forfeit their initial bet, and must place a new bet of the same value as their initial one and place it in the circle marked "2" on the table
- To Replace The Second Of Their Double Down Cards:
- After doubling down, the player can enjoy the option of forfeiting the double down card if they are unhappy with it and double down a second time. By choosing to do so, they automatically forfeit their initial bet, and must place a new bet of the same value as their initial one and place it in the circle marked "3" on the table.
- To Replace A Bust Card:
- If a player draws a card that causes them to busts, they can enjoy the option of replacing the card that busted them with a new card. . By choosing to do so, they automatically forfeit their initial bet, and must place a new bet of the same value as their initial one and place it in the circle marked "4" on the table.
A player may only use one of these four options during the course of a single hand.
Another interesting variation on Blackjack play is known as Perfect Pairs. Perfect Pairs is always played with five decks. The title "Perfect Pairs" is derived from the play format that means that for each bet placed in normal blackjack format and placed in an outer curdle there is a bet of the exact same value placed in an inner circle which is for the bonus game. Players are not obliged to take up the bonus bet option in every hand.
If the player does choose to play Perfect Pairs they simply click on the Deal button and cards are dealt in a different sequence. In the perfect pairs option the player is dealt one card face up, then the dealer one card face up, the player then is dealt their second card face up. Lastly the dealer second card is dealt face down.
If both the players' cards are of the same value and suit the player is paid out at 25 to 1. If both cards are of the same value and the same color the player is paid out at 15 to 1. If both cards are of the same value only the player is paid out at 5 to 1. If both cards are of different value then the Perfect Pairs bet loses.
These kinds of odds are seldom found in blackjack making Perfect Pairs a pretty good game to play.
