IX2gaming and Probability Jones are celebrating the launch of Blackjack Players’ Choice, a brand new online blackjack game, by organizing an international blackjack tournament, in which the winner can grab a bounty prize of $2,500.
The tournament will be based on a blackjack variant rolled out by Probability Jones, challenging classic blackjack players to use a wide range of blackjack strategies to win. The Players’ Choice format of the tournament challenges players to utilize their tactical thinking abilities and select the best out of five hands and use it to beat the dealer.
Blackjack Players’ Choice is based on basic classic blackjack rules, but with a twist that the developers hope will attract blackjack fans from all over the world. The developers say that they are hoping to attract blackjack players seeking fresh entertainment that is not only easy to learn, but also rewards strategic gaming generously.
IX2gaming, a gambling content developer based in the UK, spent around one year to develop this new blackjack product, which has been rigorously assessed by NMi UK. Probability Jones says that the aim of the tournament is to “showcase the game” and challenge blackjack players to develop a new winning strategy, sharpen their wits, and beat the house.

Find what changed in the game
New blackjack products often change a particular part of the familiar game: an extra wager, a different decision, more hands or a new interface. The announcement is useful for identifying that change. It is not a substitute for a complete rules sheet, nor proof that a named product remains available.
- Main game
- Identify the basic format and who or what the player faces.
- Extra feature
- Separate optional bets and paid choices from the ordinary wager.
- Missing detail
- Do not infer an unreported payout, rule or current availability.
Does a new feature automatically make the main game better value?
No. A feature describes a change, not its mathematical value. Start with the full rules and any separate wager or fee; the linked rules and odds guides explain what to compare.
