Where are the blackjack rules on the site?

(ie:  dealer stands on soft 17 etc)

Open the game and click "HELP" next to the DRAW button or under the News Box then click the "RULES" button. If your main concern is about "dealer on soft 17", the dealer stands on soft 17 as per listed rules.
Here is the complete rules available on the site to make you easier to read about it:

Minimum bet is 0.0001 BTC
Maximum bet is 1 BTC
Blackjack pays 3:2
Insurance pays 2:1
Number of decks is 5
Number of allowed splits is 3
Dealer does not hit on soft 17
Can double after split
Can not hit split aces
Can resplit aces
Can double on first two
Dealer does not peek

Number of decks is 5
Number of allowed splits is 3
Dealer does not hit on soft 17
Can double after split
Can not hit split aces
Can resplit aces
Can double on first two
Dealer does not peek


Is it normal with these rules that you  lose both bets if you

- double down against a 10-j-q-k and the dealer has a hidden ace (blackjack)
- split aces and get 21 on one or both, but the dealer has a hidden blackjack?

perfectly normal
usually dealer's blackjack beats any of the player's hands except for blackjack which is a push usually
this casino's rules are pretty common, no gimmicks ,don't know why are you so surprised

I understand that players hands lose against blackjack.  However, where I have played, if you double down and the dealer shows blackjack (not an ace up, but a 10-face) and it's a blackjack, you lose the initial bet and get the double down bet back (since there is no peek in this game)

If you already understand that, so what is the point of having this conversation again? If I am not wrong, there are site that will give you a push if the dealer have a blackjack but mostly they dont, so you should not really expect to much from them. There is many of BJ site that I played before and only 1 that serve push if dealer has a blackjack and that site is already closing down so there is no reason for this thing to be cleared

Wow, The original post is spot on, and "veteran" is dead wrong...  I never thought about it, but when the dealer has blackjack there is no hand played.... You should NOT be able to SPLIT, DOUBLE, (AKA BET MORE) and find out you lose to a blackjack....

That is a great point.....  

(Veteran, you actually posted the wikipedia article for blackjack?  Like he couldnt find that, and not only that, you make the statement "Why are you surprised?"  It seems like you are almost mocking him when your response is then, in turn, so aggressively stupid.... I'm assuming you just didn't understand what hes asking, but then to give an arrogant wrong response is really annoying)


Who would need any resource to look up what happens when the dealer has Blackjack, with a Face Card up, the hand ends.... Dealer wins,

His question is saying in that scenario, why is he able to double down and lose more, or split and lose more, the hand should not be played.....

it is you who doesn't understand a thing
he was asking if the dealer has a FACE CARD opened NOT AN ACE
the dealer doesn't check for blackjack in this scenario
the hand is dealt according to the house rules which is doubles,split blackjacks lose against dealers bj etc.
learn to read before you make a fool of yourself
some rules take only the initial bet (like in Nevada,for example) ,not the double portion of a bet if the dealer has a bj, but not to allow to double down or split on a dealer's 10/face card? what a nonsense
specially for you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackjack

From the wikipedia page you linked to

The "original bets only" rule variation appearing in certain no hole card games states that if the player's hand loses to a dealer blackjack, only the mandatory initial bet ("original") is forfeited, and all optional bets, meaning doubles and splits, are pushed. "Original bets only" is also known by the acronym OBO; it has the same effect on basic strategy and house edge as reverting to a hole card game

Not sure how "surprised" I acted.  I just found it odd, since other casinos and sites seem to adhere to a more fair (in my view) set of rules.


My primary complaints against this casino were/are

- There was no explanation of the bonus game (for blackjack) on the site

- There was a bug in the game that I experienced off and on for 4+ years.   Time and time again it was reported, and with game logs, screen shots etc - it was for the most part ignored.   I'm told the 2 bugs have been fixed - but I haven't played a ton to see if that's the case.

- There is no way to export hand and bet history.   I manually tracked over 1000 hands and found what I considered to be some improbabilities.   However, I would love to check these over 100,000 or more hands - but the closest the site will offer is a seed history of the cards, with no way of knowing how the hand was played (example, success rate when doubling against a 9)

- The crappy blackjack rules (in my view)

- The slow customer service

You're the one who joined the conversation.  I was asking the owners of the site.   Unless you need to pad your posts to promote your own casino, feel free to hang out in another thread,

[jasonbourne212]

anyone used this site lately? any EV calculator on the progressives out there?

[BitcoinVideoPoker]

Plenty of people are still playing every day,  and someone sure does have an EV calculator.
The moment the progressive jackpots become EV positive, all the bots go crazy playing as fast as they can to win the jackpots.
Please do give the site a try and give us any feedback on what you would like to see.
https://bitcoinvideocasino.com/

We also have an Android app so you can play on the go as well.
https://bitcoinvideocasino.com/android

I'd also love to hear any ideas people have for how we can promote the site more to new players.

[jonasBTC]

It's still the fastest site for deposits and withdrawals.  No idea how to calculate the EV on the progressives, but damn, would love to hit that video poker one.

It's an interesting site concept.  Not flashy, not a lot of variety, but the games play fast, and  no screwing around on deposits or (more importantly) withdrawals.

I had some technical issues with the site.  They respond via the site email pretty quick.

yes i remember the site going nuts back in the day.

Would you mind linking me to the calculator or any way to know when the EVs go positive? As well as the link to open source bot, if one exists?

[BitcoinVideoPoker]

Someone certainly has the EV figured out for the site,  because as soon as it goes positive,  the bots start playing like crazy.  tens of bets per second!
We also have a bot built right into the site that anyone can use.  Just turn on auto mode and you are good to go.
The site certainly was popular in the day,  and we have never delayed customer deposits or withdrawals.
Always instant,  and no registration needed.
What else would you guys like to see on the site?
Should we turn back on the troll box?

[Avirunes]

It was all normal for 2 days until today when a popup started intervening my gameplay continuously: "Error connecting to server". I have refreshed/reloaded my page and on top of that refreshed my network settings but it doesn't fixes the error.

Any idea? @BVP

Being fast at making withdrawals and deposits is all good but do they have a habit of forcing KYC when the casino loses big time? Other casinos usually do that and because of this I am looking for the casinos which don't force at all or only when it is necessary.

I checked the last 23 pages of this topic and not a single post has mentioned anything about KYC. Not anything on the first page neither.

Maybe they haven't experienced a big loss as a casino till now. Must be they are on a lucky strike.

No they haven't forced KYC on any cases yet.

Maybe they haven't experienced a big loss as a casino till now. Must be they are on a lucky strike.  

Have you checked "Big Wins" page on their site? They have paid everyone without asking for any verifications and they have a very good jackpot so its kind of a long term promotion IMO which keeps the player rate stable.


BTW someone recently won 9 BTC from three simple 0.0002 BTC bets hitting 0's on roulette. Seems very rare doesn't it
