Zappit Blackjack

Second Chances with Zappit Blackjack

There’s no spinning reels or Scatter symbols here—this is blackjack wired for a comeback. Zappit Blackjack adds a lifeline: stuck with a hard 15, 16, or 17? You can Zap it. Your hand gets wiped, and you’re dealt two fresh cards, no extra bet required. It’s not a Bonus Round in the pokie sense, but when it saves you from a sure bust, it feels like one. You’re not stuck sweating over junk hands—this feature gives you a tactical reset. Classic blackjack never offered this kind of second shot, and that changes the game.

How the Zap Rule Works

Here’s how it plays out: the moment you get dealt a hard 15, 16, or 17, the “Zap” button lights up like it’s daring you. Tap it, and your whole hand gets vaporised. In return, the dealer hands you two brand-new cards. No extra bets. Just a full-on do-over. From there, you play it out like a normal hand—hit, stand, double down, whatever feels right. You don’t get to Zap every junk setup, only those three totals. Still, that’s three more lifelines than standard blackjack ever gave you.

Extra Twists and Wild Rules

The Zappit twist changes how you approach every round. Knowing you can bail on a mid-tier hand means you’re not sweating every draw. And the rules throw in more surprises: dealer pushes on 22, and Zapped blackjacks only pay even money instead of the classic 3:2. So if you’re chasing big payouts, you’ll need to think two steps ahead. Still, that Zap option can save your bankroll more than once. It turns the slow grind of basic blackjack into something punchier, riskier, and way more fun.

Why It Pays to Zap

No guaranteed wins, but it sure beats staring down a 16 while the dealer’s flashing a face card. Normally, that’s a one-way ticket to bust. With Zap, you’re giving yourself a second chance at a playable hand—maybe even a blackjack if the shuffle’s kind. Sure, sometimes you’ll pull trash again, but at least you bought yourself a shot. And when you Zap into a winning combo? That’s blackjack magic. Worst-case, you go down swinging. Best-case? You Houdini your way into a win while the dealer just stares.

• The player may split up to three hands.
• Split aces receive only one card.
• No re-splitting of aces.
• A split ace and a ten-value card is not a Blackjack.
• When a player is dealt a hard total of 15, 16 or 17, they have the option to hit the “zap” button, giving them two new cards.
• A player wins when they hold a score of 21 or less but greater than the dealer's final total or they achieve a score of 21 or less when the dealer's final score exceeds 22.
• If the player holds a score of 21 or less and the dealer busts with a 22, it is considered a push as opposed to a win and the player’s original bet is returned to him.

Button Descriptions

• Rules – Allows players to view the rules of the game. The player should select the “rules” button in order to see the rules.
• Menu – Allows players to view the settings menu. The player should select the “menu” button in order to see the settings menu.
• Deal - Used to start the game after you have placed your bet.
• Hit - Used when you want to be dealt another card. Players can hit as many times as they like unless the total of the cards equals or exceeds 21.
• Stand - Used when you want to keep the hand dealt to you. This automatically happens if you hit 21 or double down.
• Double - After being dealt the first two cards a player can decide to double down. The bet on the hand is doubled and one additional card is dealt to the player.
• Split - Used to split the first two cards dealt into two separate hands when they match. You can have up to three hands at one time except when you split two aces. Then, only one additional card can be dealt for each hand. A hand total of 21 after splitting aces is considered 21, not Blackjack.
• Surrender - If a player decides to surrender, they get 50% of the bet and the other half goes to the house.
• Rebet - When a hand is complete, you have the option to rebet the amount previously bet.
• Insurance - If the dealer is showing an ace, the player is offered a supplemental bet called insurance. A wager of exactly half of the original bet is placed on the table. If the dealer has Blackjack, the house pays the insurance bet 2 to 1. If the dealer does not have Blackjack, the player loses the insurance bet, and the player's initial bet is then settled by comparing his cards with the dealer's. If the dealer and the player both have Blackjack, the game is pushed and the player gets the amount won by taking insurance, called even money.
• Zap – When the player is dealt a hard total of 15, 16 or 17, hitting the “zap” button allows them to exchange their hand for a new one.
