What to Expect

Each participant will receive an equal number of chips (typically “$500” worth of chips) to start the game. Unlike traditional casino Blackjack, this tournament pits players against each other instead of the house, bringing a social and competitive twist to the experience. As the game progresses, you’ll need a mix of strategy and luck to maximize your winnings over seven hands. Virgin Voyages will take a small portion of the proceeds, but the rest of the pot is divided among the top three players, with the highest shares awarded to the top two players.
