Blackjack is the most-widely played casino banking game in the world, and is played in Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball, Dead or Alive Xtreme 2, Dead or Alive Paradise, and Dead or Alive Xtreme 3. It's used as the basis of Girls of DOA BlackJack.
It reappeared as the first accessible casino game during the 2nd anniversary of Dead or Alive Xtreme Venus Vacation, with the added option of allowing the player to use their current partner to play in their stead for three rounds as an auto-skip feature (exempting if Monica is the current partner, due to her acting as the casino's dealer), later allowing the auto-skip feature to run indefinitely for an hour or until the player loses all the chips.
In the extra episodes pertaining to the opening of the casino during the Second anniversary, Monica and Luna did dealer duties, with Luna doing a less-than-good job acting as a dealer due to not understanding the rules of Blackjack. However, she did nonetheless inspire Monica to not appear tense when doing dealer duties.
Rules[]
The standard game is played with one or more card decks containing 52 cards. The rules of the game involve adding the value of a hand of two cards in hopes of being dealt a value of exactly twenty-one. If a value of less than twenty-one is dealt, the player may choose to be dealt single cards until they either reach a value of twenty one, reach a value they feel comfortable to play, or reach a value that exceeds twenty-one.
The winner holds a hand with a value of, or nearest to, twenty-one without exceeding it. The game is played in many variations at casinos with different table rules. Much of blackjack's popularity is due to the mix of chance, skill, and the publicity that surrounds card counting (varying one's wager and playing strategy to take advantage of knowledge of the cards yet to be dealt).
In terms of card values; Jack, Queens and Kings are all counted as ten and Aces can be counted as either one or eleven as per the player's choice. All other cards have the same values as their numbers indicate.
