I recently had an idea for a new variant that I’d love to share with you all. I call it Venetian Blackjack.
The concept is pretty simple: instead of the dealer always being the house, the dealer role rotates among the players.
Here’s what makes it different:
- Dealer rotation: Every player gets the chance to step into the dealer’s shoes, which I think adds a fresh dynamic to the game.
- Single-deck rounds: Each round is played with only one deck, making card counting more approachable and strategic.
- Card counting becomes viable: Since the house isn’t involved, the need to “protect” from card counting disappears, creating new strategic opportunities.
- Familiar mechanics: The core rules of blackjack stay the same, so it still feels like the game we know.
This is just an idea I’m passionate about, and I’d really appreciate your honest feedback. Does this sound like something you’d enjoy? Are there any ways you think it could be improved?
Thanks so much for taking the time to read this, I’m excited to hear what you think.
