Introducing Get21 Blackjack Tournaments

As most casual observers have probably noticed, poker tournaments, both online and land-based varieties, have surged in popularity over the last few years. Whether daily events in online poker rooms, weekly televised tournaments with celebrities, or the mega-famous WSOP, poker tournaments and the attraction to them has become a virtual mainstay in the gambling community. Now, some people are trying to replicate the success of these tournaments by expanding the tournament structure to Blackjack.

Already common in Vegas, Atlantic City, and the Caribbean, Blackjack tournaments are becoming more and more popular. Blackjack players are often just as enthusiastic and competitive as their poker-playing counterparts and several industry execs, and the public, have taken notice. To capitalize on this interest, online destinations featuring multiplayer Blackjack and regularly scheduled Blackjack tournaments are popping up in increasing number.


Get21.com, which claims to be “The First Multiplayer Blackjack Tournaments Room,” has relied on the input of several Blackjack professionals to create a site featuring continuous multiplayer Blackjack tournaments with a wide range of prizes, structures, and buy-in fees. Get21 offers Single Table Tournaments which include a “Shootout” tournament table, “Heads up” tournaments, and “Sit & Go” single table tournaments. “Sit & Go”-s can also be found at their Multi Table tournaments in addition to their regularly scheduled tournaments and those specially scheduled. Buy-in fees range from $1+$0.1 to $2,000+$150.

Tournaments at Get21 and other multiplayer Blackjack destinations are usually carried out as follows: after paying the buy-in and house fee (amounts vary from site to site and from one tournament to the next), each player receives 1,000 new chips. Players can not accumulate chips from one level to the next. The buy-ins are put into the prize pool and the House keeps its fee(s). The tournament’s winner is then the player who has collected the most chips at the end of the game. Buy-in amounts, House fees, no. of players, no. of hands per level, no. of levels, etc., all vary according to the tournament structure. Players who lose all of their chips are eliminated.

If you enjoy playing Blackjack and want to try out this new variety or, you have never been too much of a fan but the thought of competition inspires you enough to give it a shot, check out Get21.com and multiplayer tournament blackjack. The trend is sure to heat up in the coming months as several television networks have already tapped into the activity’s potential and begun airing tournaments and programs related to the game. This fall, beginning Sept. 16th, the CBS network is airing what will be a weekly-televised Blackjack and has already announced the filming of a second season! It only takes a few clicks of the mouse to try out this new and exciting development in the gaming industry and get in early on the action.
