Hot Action Blackjack At Pacheco’s California Grand Casino

There are countless variations of blackjack in existence today but have you heard of Hot Action Blackjack? This is the special version of blackjack that is on offer at Pacheco’s California Grand Casino. If you haven’t heard of this casino, it is about time that you did. It has been around since the 1850s – 1854 to be exact.
Their take on blackjack is dubbed the Hot Action Blackjack which origins hail back to the 1990s. It was invented by the casino owner, Wil Wilkinson. How is Hot Action Blackjack different from the “normal” blackjack? SF Gate narrates:
Like most blackjack games at Bay Area cardrooms, this game has no house-backed dealer; instead, players take turns being the player-dealer.
There are many ways for players to win. For starters, the game is played with jokers, so any hand with two jokers is a “super natural,” and pays 4:1 (meaning a $10 bet would pay $40). Two suited aces, dubbed a “natural 22,” is also a winner, and it pays 2:1. A “natural 21,” what players commonly associate as a blackjack, pays 6:5, but only when the player-dealer does not have better or equivalent hand.
Beyond these special hands, ordinary blackjack rules apply. Players are paid 1:1 on their bets when they stand and the player-dealer goes over 21. Players also are paid 1:1 when their hands get closer to 21 than the player-dealer’s without going over.
Easy enough, isn’t it? Oh, and if that isn’t enough to entice you to play at the casino, their weekday FREE lunches just might.
Now THIS is great gaming news! What do I do now?
