BetMGM and Score Gaming Introduce Double Down Blackjack in New Jersey
MGM Resorts International has teamed up with Score Gaming to debut an exhilarating new blackjack variation known as “Double Down Blackjack.” This exclusive offering is available only on the BetMGM Casino and Borgata Online platforms in the state of New Jersey. This novel game elevates the excitement by empowering players to increase their wager on any two-card hand, with the exception of a natural blackjack, up to the amount of their initial stake.
Amplifying the thrill is Score Gaming’s distinctive “End 16” rule, ensuring player victory whenever the dealer’s hand totals 16. Furthermore, a “16 Bonus” side wager presents the potential for rewards reaching 500 times the original bet, contingent upon the number of cards the dealer requires to achieve a hand value of 16.
Oliver Bartlett, who heads Gaming at BetMGM, conveyed his eagerness about the collaboration, noting that “Double Down Blackjack” injects a fresh dynamic into the traditional game, enriching the player’s overall experience. He underscored that this addition complements their wide array of table games, developed both internally and through partnerships with industry leaders such as Score Gaming.
This news follows BetMGM’s recent agreement with Relax Gaming, securing them the rights to provide their games to BetMGM users in New Jersey. This move underscores BetMGM’s dedication to broadening its gaming catalog. The company also recently broadened its footprint by entering the New Mexico market.
The Isleta Casino & Resort, situated in Albuquerque, New Mexico, recently debuted its sports betting venue, marking its 28th operational site.
