California Blackjack is by no means your typical game of 21. Its creator did not flip a few basic rule switches and slap a name on it. This game has some very interesting twists. It's player banked, for one. The rules give the players an edge, not the dealer. And as usual, the house...

Several years ago, 1x2Gaming released a trio of blackjack variants. Red Queen Blackjack was one of them. It follows most of the standards for an American-rules game, but with one innovative and extremely player-friendly rule. Any natural blackjack that contains a red queen (heart or diamonds) gets a payout boost of 2 to 1....
