    9 New games at Intercasino!

    Downloading at this very moment, and sound very interesting!

    Three 25-line progressive jackpot slots:
    Captain America
    Hulk - Ultimate Revenge
    Wolverine


    Two non-progressive 25-line slots:
    Dino Delight
    Quest of Kings


    Non-progressive 30-line slot:
    Enchanted Beans

    Casual Slot:
    Jewel Quest (Maybe a variation on Bejewjeled/Cubis...?)

    Sudoku (?)

    Multi-hand Video Blackjack...

    I'm a bit disappointed all the new slots have too many lines...

    Reviewers wanted! (Zoozie...? )
    I'll volunteer for Jewel Quest!

    KK
    Smile, it may never happen...

    Brief reviews (I need to go play! )

    Jewel Quest:
    As expected, a bit like Bejeweled & Cubis.
    Very low variance (see below) - lots of very small wins.
    Potential for big wins, but don't seem very likely.
    Winning combinations turn the grid gold, when it's all gold the level is over and you get a bonus which was always 100% for me. 100% of what, I don't know!
    Tried to catch it in this screenshot, but it goes VERY fast!

    JQuestR3.JPG

    Playing at $1 a go, I wagered $151 & finished $15.72 up!
    I played to the end of Level 3 and stopped because Level 4 looks too difficult.
    However - when I went back to check my stats this-morning I found the game still at the beginning of level 4, and I get the feeling you HAVE to complete all the levels & can't just stop & re-start.

    But however(2) this game could just have a winning strategy methinks...


    Sudoku:
    To be honest, I didn't have much of a clue what on earth was going on!
    There's just too much on the screen to take in, so I just hit 'play' and waited for the payout!
    This one also seems to be very low variance.
    I don't know if it was beginners luck or what, but I got 15 free 'spins' at x2 multiplier twice in 56 goes & both times it re-triggered for 30 spins!

    This was the result of the first one, just 34 to 1:-

    SudokuFreeS.JPG

    The second time I only got $24 which just proves the low-variance.

    There's a second bonus round called 'Sudoku Numbers' which I got about 4 times, but again with this you need to be exceptionally lucky to win anything half decent.

    Thanks to the bonus rounds: Wagered $56, finished $34 up!

    Conclusion:
    From my very small sample both these games seem very low variance. Will be fun for the first 15 minutes of play but could soon get boring if it's big wins you seek. However, they could be very good for turning over slots WR...

    Questions:

    If using 'normal' basic strategy, should you expect to see the same house edge?

    With each hand being measured against many hands, does that give you a bigger chance of large wins or losses, or does it have more of a leveling effect?

    1. Yes, the house edge should be exactly the same.

    2. If you bet the same amount in total as you would bet on a single hand of BJ the variance will be smaller (smaller wins, smaller losses) since you often will win or lose fractions of your bet.

    Edit: But if you bet an amount equal to what you would bet on a single hand multiplied by the number of hands per game, the variance will be much higher than normal BJ.

    I've been to http://wizardofodds.com/cryptologic and the Wiz has added some notes about the new BJ game, including a screenshot (which I've appropriated for this post).


    I know my Blackjack very well, but don't play it very often. I'd like to hear what the hardcore BJ fanatics think of this.

    Mmm, just seems quite high variance. Turned 12,500 into 100,000 and then lost it all. I would think you might be a bit less happy to bust, thus altering strategy?

    Great when a BJ stuffs 50x dealer 3up.
    Sucks when you hit 12v2 and bust, losing 50 times.

    Interesting to see many dealer results tho. Did you realise how unlikely a dealer is to bust a 2up card? or even a 5 upcard? Also, if you have TTvT then you are highly likely to win? Ok, even 50 is a smallish sample, but i found this happened nearly every time.

    I would think..... if you want a double or bust, might be a good one to bet half your bankroll on 1 hand vs 50? less variance then 1v1, but lower rewards as well. would be interested in seeing an analysis.

    If it were not for the bizarre last rule the house edge would be 0.45%. With it, the house edge goes up slightly. For most hands the strategy is the same as the six-deck stratey above. However, there could be changes for splitting eights against a 10 or ace. I have not analyzed it yet. If you do split eights against a ten or ace, especially an ace, I would be careful to not bust either hand, which would result in losing the one unit refund if the dealer gets a blackjack.
    I'm a little puzzled about the comment about the six-deck strategy and the listed house edge. Isn't this an 8-deck game? If so, wouldn't the house edge be similar to Crypto standard BJ with 8 decks, or I am missing something? If it is 8 decks, I'd estimate the house edge to be ~0.50%, slightly above Cryptologic standard BJ due to the odd peeking rule. I'd rough guess that the strategy differences would be Stand on 15+, after splitting 8s vs 10, and Stand on 12+, after splitting 8s vs A. Note that if you bust on the first split hand against a 10, then you could use standard strategy for the 2nd without consequence.
