Microgaming offers the regular paytable - 3 to 1 payout for a Blackjack hand, 2 to 1 for winning the insurance bet and an even pay for any standard hand. Microgaming's Vegas Strip does not offer the Surrender alternative, but the players can insure against the dealer's blackjack if the revealed card is an Ace. In cases where the new, split hand is a combination of a 10 and an Ace card, the value is counted as 21 instead of a Blackjack. The exception to this rule are Aces, which can only be split once and receive no more than one card per new hand. Splitting is limited to 3 times or a maximum of 4 hands at the time. Alternatively, players can double the bet on any two cards and the option is available even after the hand has been split. Players either draw an extra card or stand, unless they decide to split equal value cards, dividing then into separate hands. With one card facing down, the dealer must stand on all 17 hands and can peek for blackjack on Aces and 10 value upcards. Played with 4 decks, Vegas Strip is a hole card game with a lot less restrictive Double down and Splitting rules. Thanks to Microgaming, the most commonly played blackjack variant, Vegas Strip, is now available online in both regular and gold edition.
