Article: Blackjack-Tournaments:-New-features
by Jannet Halfan
Blackjack tournaments are becoming increasingly popular in land-based and online casinos. Before you enter a casino or download one of the blackjack tournaments applications on-line, it's best that you know the very basics of how to play blackjack under tournament conditions.
This is how tournaments work: All players begin with the same amount of money, each player is assigned to a table. Players will play blackjack over a specified period of time (or number of hands) and at the end, the player with the most amount of money is declared the table winner. Table winners then compete against each other until they end up with the finalists, who compete for the top prize.
Tournaments are popular because they allow players to compete against other players, unlike traditional blackjack where players compete against the dealer. In blackjack tournament players play against other player, this makes the game more exciting.
Blackjack websites offer players downloads of advanced and qualitative applications. Players can download these applications and use them from their computer any time they wish.
Tournament applications that exist today have two different formats:
1. Elimination tournament – after each eight hands a player is eliminated from the table. Once tables are worked down, there is a "hidden bet" that determines who is the winner of each stage of the tournament.
2. Non elimination tournament- players compete against all other tournament players. The goal of players in such a tournament is to win the most money in each of the tournament’s rounds. In this format, no players are eliminated
www.Get21.com is a new blackjack website that offers a free non-elimination tournaments download. The new features that Get21.com is offering are:
1. “Hidden Bet” – Players bet without seeing their opponent's bets. After the last player places his bet, before the dealer starts dealing the cards, players will see their opponent's bets.
2. Insurance and Late Surrender - www.Get21.com allows insurance and late surrender.
3. Splitting and double - Players can double down on any two cards that have the same value, as well as after splitting. Splitting is permitted for all cards, including 10’s value cards.
4. Quick Tournaments – Quick tournaments are available both in Multi-table and in single-table tournaments. Quick tournaments are defined by the number of hands, not by length of time, and last between 5 to 10 hands.
The features offered by "Get21" give players the opportunity to compete against each other in tournaments, even if they don't have time to engage in a full scale tournament.
