Location
Players can find the Blackjack Seller at the Blackjack tables in the Al Kharid Gambling Den. This area is often bustling with players eager to test their skills and luck against the house. The den is only accessible after completing certain preliminary quests related to gambling and the Underworld.
Gameplay Mechanics
As the primary dealer for Blackjack games, the Blackjack Seller employs standard Blackjack rules, where the goal is for players to accumulate a hand total of 21 or as close to it as possible without exceeding that number. Players can place bets that range from a minimal amount to a substantial wager, given their current gold reserves.
Blackjack Rules
- Players receive two cards, while the Blackjack Seller also receives two cards, one face-up and one face-down.
- Players can choose to ‘hit’ (take another card) or ‘stand’ (keep their current hand).
- If a player’s hand exceeds 21, they ‘bust’ and lose their wager immediately.
- A player wins if they retain a higher hand total than the Blackjack Seller without going over 21.
- Players can also opt for options like ‘double down’ or ‘split’ if applicable to their hand.
