The Gold Series Classic Blackjack offering is an easy-to-play variation that is produced and designed by Microgaming, of the foremost developers of online casino software. This blackjack game certainly does not lack for strong graphics, great ambient sound and plenty of options, all of which contribute to a realistic atmosphere that will enhance any gaming experience.
The Classic blackjack game is "basic" in nature; probably the most no-frills game that Microgaming offers as part of its Gold Series, but that doesn't mean it isn't robust. The great game options people have come to expect from a Microgaming product are there, and this includes Expert Mode, which allows you to play the game manually or place it on Autoplay, in which case your bets will be made for you and you can let the software actually make playing decisions for you, according to a mathematically correct Basic Blackjack Strategy.
You play Classic Blackjack just like you would any other regular blackjack games. After each round of play, the cards are shuffled, so you have a random deal each time out. The dealer hits 16 and stands on ALL 17's, including soft 17, which is relatively standard. However, there are some other rules in this game that are not very liberal. You can split pairs, but only pairs. You cannot split two cards that are of the same point value (e.g., Jack and a Queen). Doubling down is allowed only on two-card total of 9, 10 or 11, and you cannot double-down after splitting. There is insurance available, and it pays off at 2-to-1 odds, but it can only be taken if the dealer's upcard is an Ace.
The Microgaming software trademark involves the kind of graphics that reflect terrific workmanship, and a lot of ways for you to adjust the atmosphere surrounding the game.
One of those lets you change speeds between Slow, Medium, Fast and Fastest. That is important in some blackjack players, because on every round of play there is both a betting and playing decision to be made. By adjusting speeds, Microogaming greatly reduces the intimidation factor, making it a game that is "accessible" to anyone.
You can also manipulate the background and game sounds in whichever way you choose. The layout is simple and crisp, the game rules are available by mousing over a graphic that is in front of you, at the top of the table layout, and in case you're aiming for a real scientific approach, you can keep track of all the results of your play in any one session by accessing the "Stats" option that is at the bottom of the interface.
You get a bet spread of $1-$200 which this game, which offers a lot of room to operate. You can do Auto Rebet, which allows you to leave the same bet out there on every hand.
This is the game for you if you want to play a very straight-forward, basic form of blackjack and still get the enhancements that are available in all of the offerings in the Gold Series. However, if you are interested in shopping around for the absolute best rules, there are probably other choices for you to take advantage of in the Gold Series.
