| The Triple Shot Blackjack Variation |
|
Triple Shot Blackjack is a variant that has yet managed
its way to the online world of blackjack, but as all blackjack's variations
- it's only a matter of time before it would be present in the virtual
space, as all other blackjack variants. If you're a fan of blackjack, war
and poker as well then it's probably the most suited blackjack variant for
you, but do notice that you'll need to be skilled at all of these games
before you decide to risk your money in triple shot.
The game goes like this: Two cards are dealt at the beginning of triple
shot, one to the dealer and one to the player (notice that triple shot is a
multi-players game, so in such case every player would receive a single
card), then the cards' value is checked and the one with the higher value
wins, so basically it's not a war game but a high-card-draw game.
The game continues to the next level - blackjack. The player's card and the
dealer's card remains as a second card is dealt, and the game is played by
blackjack's rules, similar to the traditional rules of blackjack, but with
few exceptions. take a look at our simplified triple shot rules for a better
understanding.
Notice that you cannot proceed to the blackjack stage if you tie the dealer
with your initial card. If you reach a hand of six cards at this stage (the
maximum amount of cards given at Triple Shot) you then automatically win,
that is if the total of the cards' value is 21. If the round of the
blackjack is over before six cards then the game proceeds to the next stage.
After the blackjack stage is over it's the poker stage; this is played
according to the Six Card Stud's rules, and up to a total of six cards are
dealt both to the player and to the dealer as well. Notice that you wage on
each stage separately, also you may choose to play only two out of the three
games, meaning you can play War-Blackjack, War-Poker or Blackjack-Poker
instead of War-Blackjack-Poker.
Triple Shot is a game of fun, if you look for making it as your main way for
profiting from gambling you should revise and think it over, this game is
just for fun, if you're into gambling for the sake of earning money you
should play each game separately.
There are very few games at the casino where a good playing strategy can
reduce and even eliminate the edge enjoyed by the house, but blackjack is
one such game. There are proven card counting strategies that can eliminate
the edge in favor of the house and help the player enjoy a winning day at
either the virtual or real work blackjack tables.
Of course the most well known, and most effective, way for blackjack players
to tip the odds in their favor is to count cards. Card counting, of course
is not as easy, or as straightforward, as many people think. After all,
casinos know about card counting too, and they are constantly taking steps
to reduce the effectiveness of the strategy. From using multiple decks or
cards to using automatic shufflers, casinos are always trying to defeat card
counters, and good players are always learning new methods and new
strategies.
The simplest way to count cards is simply to keep a running count in your
head as each new card is dealt from the deck. This running count will help
the player determine the odds of the cards they need being the next to
emerge from the deck. While this strategy is pretty easy on single deck
blackjack tables, it becomes increasingly difficult as the number of decks
used in the game increases. Smart blackjack players actively seek out single
deck tables, as these tables naturally produce the best odds and the
greatest edge to the skillful card counter.
Of course the running count does not tell the whole story, even on single
deck blackjack tables. It is important to know the true count in order to
produce an effective betting strategy. Simply put, the true count is the
running count divided by the number of decks of cards that have not yet been
dealt. This true count will provide a better reflection of how favorable the
remaining cards will be.
