Dice Blackjack is a game I've invented and developed for Enterbet.com which is based on the game of 21. It is played by two competitors, one acting as the Player and the other as the Dealer. The competitors should have two dice each in order to play, but they may also share two dice if they so choose. The Dealer for the first round can be decided by agreement, highest roll or any other method the competitors decide on. Regardless, the Dealer position will rotate among the players based on who wins the round.
The object of the game is quite similiar to the version of Blackjack played with cards. Using two dice the "Player" tries to reach a count of 21, or as close to it as possible, without going over. They can "Hit" (roll) on any count less than 21 as many times as they want until they either decide to "Stand" on their current count (keep the count they have) or they go over 21. If a player gets a count higher than 21 they are "Busted", which means they lose their bet immediately to the Dealer (who wins the bet without even having to make a play). The next round would then begin. If the Player stands on a total less than 21, the Dealer must then try to beat the Players total, known as their "Count", based on various rules. Now let's find out how the gameplay of Dice Blackjack differs from the card version of Blackjack.
In this game, as in Card Blackjack, the Player always makes the initial wager. This should consist of one or more betting units (in this tutorial we'll use Poker chips). The bet is made and then the gameplay proceeds as follows:
The Player rolls their two dice.
They determine the Dice Count (the total of the two Dice rolled).
They must then DOUBLE this count.
Now they have their Playing Count.
As an example, let's say the Player has made their bet and has rolled 3-4 (a three and a four). The Dice Count would be Seven (3+4=7) for this roll. They now must DOUBLE this count, which would give them a Playing Count of FOURTEEN. It is then time for the Player to make a decision. Will they Roll again, known as "Hitting" the Playing Count, to try and get closer to 21, or will they Stand on the current Playing Count (in this case FOURTEEN) and see if it holds up against whatever the Dealer may come up with. If they decide to Stand, then their turn is over and the Dealers turn begins. But if they do not wish to Stand, they can proceed based on the following rules of the second throw.
Once the Player has decided to Hit, they again roll BOTH of their Dice. On this second roll, however, there are new rules on how the Dice can be used to increase the players current count:
The player may use the total of BOTH Dice to increase their current count closer to 21 without going over OR
The player may use either ONE DICE or THE OTHER, instead of adding both Dice together, to increase their count.
Using the round above, the Player currently has a Playing Count of Fourteen. They decide to Hit, so they Roll both of the Dice again. This time they roll 2-6. What this means is that they can, at their option, add the combined count of the two Dice (which is 8) to their current count of Fourteen (which would Bust them in this case with a 22 count), OR they can use just the TWO (making a 16 count) OR only the SIX (making it 20 count). The best option for the Player here is to use just the 6 and then Stand on the new 20 Playing Count. The Dealers turn would now begin.
A player can choose to hit as many times as they want at their option, provided they are not forced to achieve a total that is over 21. For example, the player above hit their Fourteen count and rolled 2-6. If instead they chose to use just the Two, their new count would be Sixteen. They choose to again Hit this new Sixteen count and again Roll both of ther Dice, this time getting 3-5. They can't use the combined total of the Dice, which is Eight, because this would bust them with a 24 count. However, they can use either the 3 or 5, and in this case the 5 would make them the very strong 21 count. The Player then stands. The Dealers turn would now begin, and they would face the daunting task of matching the Players 21 total to tie (Push) with them based on the limitations of the Dealers play.
