- Added Blackjack Split mode: players can split their hand after being dealt a pair of cards with the same rank (e.g. two 8s or two Kings).
- Added Blackjack Surrender button: Allows players to forfeit their hand and get back half of their original bet. Available only on the initial two cards (before split).
Details for split mode:
- Splitting cards costs the original bet (in addition to it). Players must have the required amount of coins to be able to split.
- After split, even money, insurance and surrender are not available, only options are hit, double down or hold.
- After split, Aces can only be hit once.
- After split, if one of the split hands ends up with an Ace and a 10-value card, the hand is treated as a 21, not a blackjack.
Other Changes:
- Auto Save interval setting added to options menu. Players can select from 1m/5m/15m/30m/1h/Off.
- Auto deal removed - it was not very useful.
- If player has a natural blackjack, only available option is to Hold, hitting is no longer allowed.
- If player Holds on natural blackjack (Ace and a 10-value card on the initial two cards), Bandit will only reveal the hole card to check for a push, or lose the hand. ie. he will not deal more cards.
- Soft and hard scores are now calculated & displayed correctly with a "low/high", eg An Ace and Six will be shown as "7/17".
- After player takes Insurance, if Bandit's hole card is a 10-value card (ie. he has blackjack) then hole card will be revealed and insurance pays out. Otherwise player loses insurance bet and hole card is not revealed. Instead you will see "Insured" above the Bandit's two cards.
- Fuel is subtracted as soon as hand is played instead of after it.
- Wild and Bonus buttons can't be used in blackjack mode.
