Golden Palace Casino Launches Tournament Blackjack

2006 October 22, Erana Hansen

Golden Palace Online Casinos recently announced they will continue to offer their online casino games to US residents, and they have also added tournament blackjack to their list of games.

Tournament blackjack is the latest big thing in the online casino industry. Tournament blackjack combines the popularity of blackjack with the skill of online tournament play. Players play against each other instead of the house.

In standard blackjack, players use their hand to compete against the dealer's hand. In tournament blackjack, players are really competing against the other players on the table. Players must use strategy and skill and a little bit of luck never hurts – the winner in tournament blackjack is the player with the most chips at the end of the final level of play.

Players pay an entry fee into the blackjack tournament, and receive a set number of chips each. They then gamble these chips against the dealer, and the player with the least amount of chips after a predetermined specific hand is eliminated.

At Golden Palace Online Casino, players can choose between single-table and multi-table blackjack tournaments. Winners of single-table tournaments win the entire prize pool, but in multi-table blackjack tournaments, the prizepool is divided between the highest placed finishers using set percentages, which change depending on the number of entrants.

For example, if 17 players enter a multi-table tournament, the prizepool will be divided like this:

• 1st place – 46% of prizepool
• 2nd place – 27%
• 3rd place – 17%
• 4th place – 10%

Ed note: New players at Golden Palace Casino receive a 300% to $300 bonus on their first deposit!
