Three hundred hands at 20 credits each left me 20 credits short, and not one of the 137 winners paid more than even money. The table runs four decks, a dealer who peeks and stands on soft 17, and the usual double, split and insurance options.

Four decks and a dealer who stops at 17
American Blackjack is a Blackjack table game with 3 hands and 4 decks available from 20 to 1,000, and the game deals 2 cards each to the player and the dealer. Up to three hands can be played at once against the dealer, though I played one hand per round at a stake of 20. One of the dealer's cards is face up and one face down. The dealer peeks at the hole card for blackjack before play continues and stands on all 17s, including soft 17. There is also a double down choice on any two opening cards, a split choice for pairs and an insurance bet that returns 2:1. Doubling is also allowed after splitting a pair.
Forty back, 137 times over
American Blackjack is a low volatility table game. Over my 300 rounds, 137 hands won, 25 pushed and 138 lost.
Our Minty Verdict: But if the maths are poor, graphics mean nothing when it comes to table games. Across the session I wagered 6,000 and got back 5,980, a return of 99.7%. I lowered the balance from 2,000 to 1,620 by round 155 when testing it out the first time. Since then, though, it rebounded to 1,980 by the close of 300 rounds. The balance peaked at 2,040 on round 297.
I quickly observed however that I didn't truly get much out of it, and the winning hands continued paying me with the same tired even-money wins. On round 12, for example, I stood on 13, the dealer bust on 22, and the hand returned 40 on the 20 stake.
A 3:2 blackjack never paid out. My longest winning streak ran to 10 hands, ending on round 199.
But to be frank, the potential is not as large as it should be in my view. Blackjack Neo and Multihand Blackjack are two other blackjack tables on the site. This game is far more likely to hold a balance near to where it began than to let a player be well ahead of the game.
