Zappit Blackjack
Zappit Blackjack lets you throw away a hard fifteen, sixteen or seventeen. You take a fresh two card hand instead.
What this game changes
The zap happens before the dealer checks for blackjack. A hand made after a zap pays even money when it reaches twenty one. The dealer pushes on twenty two, which is what funds the zap. It also changes the correct play on most stiff hands.
