Party Blackjack - kickass Promo

[Gamboholik]

Anybody else having trouble downloading any games?? I keep getting an error message.

Anyone think that the blackjack software will run slower than normal because of higher than normal traffic? It would suck to not get in as many hands as theoretically possible because of a slowdown.

I was looking at the rules trying to figure out the HA on this and noticed this:
[ QUOTE ]

Double: If the first two cards dealt to you total nine, 10 or 11 (with the exception of blackjack), an option to ‘double’ will be displayed to you. Once this option is selected, the bet amount is automatically doubled, and you will be dealt one more card. The hand will auto-stand after the next card is dealt. Doubling is also available, subject to having nine, 10 or 11, as an option after splitting. If the hand qualifies for doubling, but your game balance is not sufficient for the additional bet, the double option will not be offered.

If you lose the bet, you lose the entire bet amount, the initial bet, and the additional amount placed for the double option.

Does that mean you can't double on soft totals? That would definitely eat up a lot of edge.

I'm more worried about it not crediting properly 2:1

Anyone got any reason to beleive that this definately is not rigged?

Unlike Poker (which I am 100% sure is not rigged) I can't think of any way to prove it it was.

2 things:

1) I do believe Party BJ is rigged. Seriously.

2) will anyone offer me a better staking deal than 35% of winnings @ $20/hand? PM me.

I feel pretty safe for the same reason I feel safe about poker. They just have to much too lose.

This is definitely not a standard rule if you really can't double soft hands. All BJ software I have played (playtech, MG, crypto etc.) all allow a double with any 2 cards.

it changes the HA from 0.43 to a little over 0.5. has a BJ HA calculator on the site
