PEAK BLACKJACK

PEAK BLACKJACK

Hit, stand, double. The dealer takes life, not coins.

The casino on PEAK grows again. A five-seat blackjack table now waits at every campfire:

beveled wood, chrome and gold, a printed felt, a dealing shoe, and a lit sign with running

lights. The dealer doesn't take coins. He takes your life bar.![Blackjack table][shot-table]

Take a seat

Look at one of the five betting circles and hold interact. Every chip costs 1 % of your

life bar, paid on the spot. The first chip claims the seat for this round; stack as many as

you dare. The first chip at the table starts a 15 second countdown - every player can sit

down and bet until the cards come out.![The cards come out][gif-deal]

Play your hand

When it is your turn, the sign tells you. Then:

| Look at | Hold to |

|---|---|

| your cards | hit - take another card |

| your chips | stand - keep what you have |

| the dealing shoe | double down - your stake again, exactly one more card |

Twenty seconds per decision. Take longer and you stand. The dealer reveals the hole card and

draws to 17.

What you can win

The table pays in life and in blessings, never in items.

| Hand | Pays | And on top |

|---|---|---|

| A win | 1:1 | bonus stamina (a speed boost if you doubled) |

| Blackjack | 3:2 | a heal of all your ailments, infinite stamina and speed for a while |

| A push | your stake back | nothing lost, nothing won |![Blackjack!][gif-blackjack]

Dealer blackjack

If the dealer turns over a natural, the house wins - and it curses everyone at the table

who does not hold a blackjack of their own. Your own natural is the only thing that protects

you from the bank.

The airport

One table stands in the airport lounge. Chips there are free and the table pays nothing: the

game blocks every status change before boarding. Think of it as the demo table.

With PEAK CASINO installed, the airport belongs to the casino and this table stays away.

Multiplayer

Everyone in the lobby sees the same seats, the same cards and the same results. Each player

carries a chip colour of their own. Only you pay for your chips and only you collect your

winnings. The host deals the cards, so the deck is the same for everyone.

Every player in the lobby needs the mod.

Responsible gambling notice

PEAK BLACKJACK may cause hitting on 19, an irrational fear of the number 16 and sudden group

cursing. If your life bar is more red than green, stand up, eat a Berrynana and talk to a

friend. The house is not liable for lost lives, lost curses or friends who doubled down on

your advice. Must be at least 18 metres above sea level to play.
