Bitcoin Forum

I am officially launching my new site: http://www.bitjack21.com    BITCOIN BLACKJACK!

The site is under heavy development, but the main backbone is 100% complete (ie, the game itself, deposits, & withdrawals.)

The game is done entirely in HTML5/AJAX and plays wonderfully in all major browsers.  I've played on some other bitcoin blackjack sites and I can say definitively that mine is *vastly* superior.  The site is hosted in the UK, where online gambling is legal.  (Although in my non-professional opinion, all bitcoin gambling is legal as bitcoins are not currency, theyre more of a commodity.)

The game uses common US casino blackjack rules:

* Dealer stands on all 17's
* Blackjack pays 3:2
* Double on any 2 cards
* Split to up to 3 hands
* Double after split (except aces)
* If aces are split, you get 1 card per hand.
* Minimum bet is 0.01 BTC
* Maximum bet will be increased later and is currently 0.1 BTC.
* 8 decks are shuffled before every hand.
* Each player gets his own shoe of cards, in other words, 2 players playing simultaneously will never be drawing cards from the same shoe.  (Some other sites use this method.)

The site is 100% honest.  If you have any questions I can be found on freenode IRC as m03sizlak, moeSizlak, or mo3sizlak.  (Typically in #rfcpool, the best mining pool out there!)

OK, I see that some of you have found the site, and some of those people have made some BTC already, very nice

That's cool.

thumbs up

I'm glad you guys like it.  Please spread the word.  Although it is fully functional right now I will be making numerous improvements.  Any suggestions are welcome.

Pretty cool!

Man now if I didn't suck at card games.....yes even BlackJack :)

What prevents people from winning easy by running a card counter while playing?

nothing, same as most online blackjack. unless the cards are (mostly) random. which almost defeats the purpose.

Same way as Vegas - More than 4 decks. You cannot count those, especially with a reshuffle with minimum 20% cards left.

Can see myself visiting there when I get some coins to my name!

8 decks are shuffled before every hand.  ==> That's what prevents people from counting.  It's the same as a continuous card shuffler used at many casinos.

When cards are dealt from a shoe, its possible to count (even with 8 decks, or 1000 decks), you just start at 0, for a low card 2-6 you subtract 1, for a high card 10-A you add 1, for 7,8,9 you do nothing.  When the count is high, there are a lot of 10's due up.  To defeat this, casinos use continuous card shufflers, ie they shuffle all their decks before each hand.  My website does the same thing.

Just wanted to let everyone know the site is still active and expanding in innovative and exciting ways, sign up today!

EDIT: I forgot to say, with the link,  that shuffling the deck before every single hand is not necessarily a bad thing. It just means that card counting is dead.

What is your daily volume of users?

Nice. Another good side of BitCoins - nobody will ever restrict us from gambling online.

Reshuffling decks before each hand, another nice way of a casino to tell you that the odds are against you and there is nothing you can do ;).

So fun!

are you going to expand in the future to other games?

get single 0 roulette.

Did you ever hear of the TheGoldCasino? It was casino that accepted e-gold and LR(and other gold currencies) that uses the same hash method you do.


I used to love playing on Thegoldcasino but then e-gold went to hell.


Maybe I will take a look at your casino
