Blackjack is one of the most iconic casino games, combining luck and skill to create an exciting experience for players. In Mafia Syndicate, we’ve brought this classic game into our immersive mafia-themed world, allowing players to enjoy blackjack in the form of player-owned casinos. As a part of our growing collection of rackets, owning a blackjack table can be highly lucrative, but it comes with its own risks.
Whether you’re a seasoned player or new to the world of blackjack, this is your chance to make your mark, win big, and run a successful casino in our game’s underworld.
Blackjack rules in Mafia Syndicate
Blackjack is simple to play but difficult to master, which makes it a staple for both casual and serious gamblers. In Mafia Syndicate, you’ll face off against the dealer, aiming to have a hand value as close to 21 as possible without going over.
Basic rules of playing blackjack:
• Card Values: Number cards 2-10 are worth their face value, face cards (Jack, Queen, King) are worth 10, and Aces can be either 1 or 11.
• The Objective: Your goal is to have a hand with a value higher than the dealer’s, without exceeding 21.
• Bust: If your hand goes over 21, you “bust” and automatically lose the round.
• Winning: If you get closer to 21 than the dealer without busting, you win! Blackjack wins are 1.5*
With these basic rules, the thrill of blackjack is immediate and strategic. But there’s more to playing blackjack in Mafia Syndicate.
Player-owned blackjack rackets
In Mafia Syndicate, blackjack isn’t just a game—it’s a racket. Each country in the game has one player-owned blackjack table, meaning owning this racket can give you a significant edge. The max bet can be set by the owner, allowing you to control the flow of money. As a casino owner, you’ll need to manage your table carefully because playing broke means other mafiosi can take over your operation.
Here’s how it works:
• Max Bet: Owners can set the highest possible bet at their blackjack table.
• Go Broke: If you, as the casino owner, can’t pay out the winnings, other players can step in and take control of the racket. Or… you know, shoot the fucker and take the casino (but shooting comes with backfire and might kill you… so yeah…)
• Racket System: The racket shows up on your profile, giving you prestige within the game. You can also sell your blackjack racket on the black market if you need to liquidate your assets or if the risks become too high. Your name as owner is also displayed on the casino detail page.
Wins and losses: the risks for player and owner
The beauty of blackjack in Mafia Syndicate is the real stakes involved. Unlike NPC-run casinos, the money won or lost is directly taken from the player and the casino owner. This creates a true player-versus-player (PvP) experience. If a player wins big, the owner has to pay up. If the player loses, the money goes to the owner. However, the risk for owners is always present—run out of funds, and someone else might claim your prized casino racket.
Other casino games in Mafia Syndicate
Blackjack isn’t the only game of chance in Mafia Syndicate. We offer a variety of other player-owned casino games to keep things interesting:
•Roulette: Like blackjack, roulette is another player-owned racket. As the owner, you control the bets and stand to make (or lose) significant money.
•Slots: With slots, you can set up a machine that earns money passively. Players spin, and you, as the owner, collect their losses—or pay out their winnings.
And that’s not all. For those mafiosi who enjoy a bit of luck every week, we also offer a game-owned lottery where players can purchase tickets with in-game currency. The top prize is a hefty payout in honor points, which can be spent in our in-game shop. With three winners drawn every Sunday, the lottery is a simple but thrilling way to win valuable resources.
Conclusion: blackjack and beyond
Blackjack in Mafia Syndicate is just one part of a broader experience that includes owning and managing multiple casino rackets, taking risks in PvP gameplay, and mastering the game’s economy. With each country offering exclusive opportunities to run a casino, the competition is fierce, but the rewards are vast. And for those willing to take risks, owning a blackjack table might just be the key to becoming a mafia legend.
So whether you’re here to play or own, blackjack in Mafia Syndicate is a feature that guarantees excitement, strategy, and high-stakes action.
