Blackjack Tournament: Features
Blackjack tournaments are getting more popular, especially after TV stations aired the World Series of Blackjack. Several online casinos are also scheduling regular Blackjack tournaments with huge grand prizes. You need to understand some of the features of Blackjack tournaments before you can conquer the event and win the big cash prize.
First of all, Blackjack tournament dealers use rotating deal when dealing cards. As opposed to the usual counter clockwise dealing, the dealer will start with different players as the game progresses by the round. The first player to place bets is also rotated using similar rule. Several tournaments use a rule called “Secret Bet”. With this particular rule in play, the last bet of every round is hidden and only revealed after each player finishes the play.
Different Blackjack tournaments may use different progressing rules. Some tournaments use Two Players per Round, where two players — instead of the usual one — are allowed to progresses to the next round at the end of each round. Two Players One Round rule uses the same principle, but two players are allowed to progress at the first round only; on the following rounds, only one player get to continue to the next round. In elimination rounds, player with the lowest bankroll is eliminated while other players continue to the next round.
Last but not least, you can also find tournaments where re-entry is allowed. You can reenter the competition by paying the entrance fee again, although the amount of re-entry allowed is limited to one.
