The card game blackjack at certain Bay Area cardrooms has changed a bit in recent months, as places such as Lucky Chances in Colma, Rogelio's Restaurant, Casino, Hotel & Cocktail in Isleton (Sacramento County) and others have embraced a new and improved version of traditional 21 that's perfectly legal in California.

The game, dubbed Pure Blackjack, varies from other blackjack-style games such as California Blackjack or 21st Century Blackjack. Still, technically none of these games is blackjack - state Penal Code 330 outlaws house-banked games everywhere but at Indian casinos, which are governed under the Federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Act.

The biggest difference between Pure Blackjack and California Blackjack is the blackjack itself: While players in the latter game race to 22, players in the former game strive to get 21.5. Another big difference: California Blackjack incorporates jokers; Pure Blackjack eliminates jokers.

In order to play pure blackjack, one player must be designated as banker. Players volunteer to serve this role, and each competes against this player-banker as if he were the dealer. This player-banker can lose only as much as he places in the betting circle; the money is used to pay off opponents in a clockwise fashion until it is gone.

The game moves quickly. All picture cards and 10s are worth 10 points, unless they are initially dealt with an ace, in which case their value goes up to 10.5 points, making a 'natural' worth 21.5. In most cardrooms, this hand pays 6 to 5, but if the player-banker has three 8s, everyone pushes or ties - even those players with 21.5.

Beyond this, the similarities to Vegas-style blackjack are many. Dealers must hit on soft 17s. Players may double down on any two cards, split pairs, double after splits (though they get only one card when they split aces) and surrender a hand for one-half of their original bets.

'When you're playing the game itself, it feels no different (from Vegas-style blackjack),' says Bill Marsden, director of gaming operations at 101 Casino in Petaluma, which expects to add the game by the end of the year. 'There aren't that many new rules to memorize; you just play.'

Since Pure Blackjack players compete against each other, the house has to make money somehow. The solution: a standard collection ranging from $1 to $3 (depending on the bet) from each player to play. While this may not seem like too much, cardrooms generally round up on the rake. This means that even on a $25 bet, you've got to part with at least $1 just to see cards.

Some cardrooms collect an additional amount from players who wish to serve as player-banker. Players can serve in this role for a maximum of two consecutive hands, and then must relinquish the designation to someone else. Not surprisingly, people usually line up to assume this role. In blackjack, even when the house isn't banking, the odds still slightly favor the bank.
