Open the current game pageVegas Single Deck Blackjack Gold is Microgaming’s single-deck blackjack variant. This historical profile uses OnlineBlackjack’s Microgaming guide, which covers the standard and Gold Series presentations. The named table image below confirms the payout and dealer instructions, but does not establish every build’s complete rules or current casino availability.

Payout and dealer rules
| Visible instruction | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Blackjack pays 3 to 2 | A qualifying natural pays 1.5 times the stake as profit. The previous reference to 3:1 was incorrect. |
| Dealer must hit soft 17 | The dealer draws on a total of 17 containing an ace counted as 11, such as ace-six. |
| Insurance pays 2 to 1 | A winning insurance wager pays twice its own stake as profit. |
| Minimum 1 / maximum 200 | These are the pictured demo limits. They do not establish universal cash limits. |
The screen shows a 10-credit bet and a player jack-eight total of 18 against a dealer two and a hidden card. It is an unfinished hand with Hit and Stand controls visible; no winning result is shown.
Historical rules and edition limits
OnlineBlackjack reports one deck, doubling on totals 9–11 only, no doubling after splitting, a maximum of two split hands and one card on split aces. It lists different historical limits for standard and Gold Series games, so the table plaque in your opened build takes precedence over an old review’s stake range.
LCB’s Microgaming comparison also describes a single-deck game with no re-splitting or surrender, and says an ace plus a ten-value card after splitting counts as 21 rather than a natural. The full help for the exact version remains the reference for split eligibility and settlement.
Payout examples in credits
A qualifying unsplit natural on a 10-credit stake pays 15 credits profit and returns 25 credits including the stake. This is 3:2, not a 30-credit profit. A winning 5-credit insurance bet pays 10 credits profit and returns 15 including that side stake. If a separate 10-credit main hand loses to dealer blackjack, the insurance profit offsets that loss for a combined net result of zero.
These are conditional calculations, not results from the screenshot. OnlineBlackjack lists 99.69% theoretical return for its historical rule set; that figure depends on rules and player decisions and is not a guaranteed session return or certification of every current edition. One deck alone does not establish a game’s house edge.
Vegas Single Deck Blackjack Gold FAQs
Does blackjack pay 3:1?
No. The pictured table says 3:2. A qualifying 10-credit natural earns 15 credits profit.
Does the dealer hit soft 17?
Yes. That instruction is printed on the pictured table. Soft 17 includes an ace valued at 11.
Can I double after splitting?
OnlineBlackjack’s historical rules say no. Confirm the exact build’s help before playing.
Is an ace and ten after splitting a natural?
LCB’s historical comparison says split hands count as 21 rather than blackjack. Do not assume they receive the natural payout.
Are the pictured amounts dollars?
The footer labels the balance demo credits. The screenshot does not establish a real currency or real-money win.
Is the 99.69% return guaranteed?
No. It is a historical source figure for particular rules and decisions, not a prediction of a player’s session.
