It's not just about poker over at UB.com. The site better known to some as Ultimate Bet has another way to place the ultimate bet on the cards in your with online Blackjack. Never one to do anything half-hearted, UltimateBet offers not just classic single-player blackjack but Elimination Blackjack as well.
Elimination Blackjack is similar in some ways to standard Blackjack in that the goal is still to get 21 without going over and you play against the house, but you also compete in other ways with the rest of the players at the same table as you. Specifically, you attempt, as in tournament poker, to amass the greatest number of chips. After the 8th, 16th and 25th hands are dealt and played out, the player who has the smallest chip stack at each is eliminated from the table.
Also, UB.com has introduced another innovative element to the game of online blackjack, with the Secret Bet. Every player at the table gets one Secret Bet each round that enables them to wager a particular amount without alerting the other players to the size of the bet. UB says this adds a bluffing component to the game of online blackjack.
Every player at the Elimination Blackjack table starts out with $25,000 in chips, which is also the maximum bet allowable, with the minimum bet for the preliminary being $500. When it gets down to the final table of players not yet eliminated, players start with $100,000 in chips, also the new maximum bet, with the minimum bet being $1,000.
