Blackjack Switch: Swap the Cards and Outsmart the Dealer for 21

Arrows Edge has taken a break from regular slots and brought a casino table experience with Blackjack Switch. I've played plenty of blackjack games over the years, usually on the traditional red-felt tables, but this time I was sitting at a blue table with two hands against the dealer. 

Here, the betting range starts at 1x and goes all the way up to 200x your stake. I almost always played both available hands against the dealer. The most useful feature here is the ability to switch the second card between your two hands, to improve weaker combos and get closer to that magical 21.

If I couldn't reach 21, I usually tried to bring my hands to at least 18. Since the dealer must stand on 17, it gave me a little extra confidence to make a stand. Admittedly, it's not a foolproof strategy, but it gave me a sense of security. Surprisingly enough, following this approach helped me win roughly 7 out of every 10 hands during my session.

If you're confident in your cards, you can also use the double down option, which doubles your wager in exchange for receiving one final card. Naturally, this also doubles the potential payout if things go your way. The switching mechanic is useful, but being limited to only two hands was sort of restrictive.

Throughout my experiments with blackjack tables, I've generally found that having more active hands creates more opportunities to profit. That's probably my biggest criticism of Blackjack Switch. Personally, I would have found the game much more appealing if it offered four or even five hands at the same table.
