Stravaganza
(Progressive)
 Stravaganza
is an exciting and dynamic casino card game,
enjoyed by online casino fans the world over. Similar to
blackjack,
Stravaganza is played with 5 regular 52-card decks.
In each hand, you
will be dealt up to three cards.
All cards retain
their face values except
for Jacks, Queens
and Kings which each have a value of 10 points. Aces have a
value of 1 point.
The objective of the
game is to beat the dealer by showing a higher point total than
him.

Rules
The way each
round of Stravaganza starts is
that you must place your initial bet (the Ante). You will then
be dealt 2 cards face up while the dealer is dealt 3 cards face
down. Now you
must put your thinking cap on
by adding up the total points in your hand. If your points add
up to less then five (a terrible hand) fold and
you will recoup your
full initial bet.

Pay Outs
However, if your cards add up to 6, 7, 8 or 9 (still not a great
hand), click the option to recoup half your full initial bet and
play on. If
your first 2 cards add up to 10 or more, you should always play
on. If you
play on, you can either 'Stand' on your current total or take
another card. If you
take another card
(obviously to try and increase your total)
you have to 'Raise',
which means putting in another bet to match your initial bet.
After you stand or raise,
the dealer with
reveal all 3 of his cards.
If he is holding a
red Ace, he automatically wins regardless of your hand.
If he shows a red
Ace in his 2nd or 3rd card,
he wins your Ante and the Raise bets. If he shows a red Ace in
his first card,
he only wins the
Ante. If the
dealer does not show a red Ace, it comes down to a point count,
where the
highest total wins.
