It's a funny thing about the game of blackjack. Sometimes you just get hot at the blackjack table, the cards start falling your way, and you find yourself winning three, four, or even five blackjack games in a row. High Streak European Blackjack Gold — known affectionately as High Streak Blackjack for short — is an online blackjack game that rewards your hot streaks with bonus blackjack jackpots.

The High Streak Blackjack table looks, at first glance, like an ordinary green felt blackjack table. On closer inspection, however, you will see that it has some unusual features.

There is a rectangle marked "Click to place bets." You click here to place your regular bet on your blackjack game.

There is a circle labeled "High Streak Bet." You click here to place your optional High Streak side bet.

There are four more circles labeled "2nd Streak," "3rd Streak," "4th Streak," and "5th Streak." Clicking on these circles will not do anything. Instead, every time you win a game of blackjack, your High Streak Bet will automatically jump to the next circle.

The rules of European High Streak Blackjack Gold are the same as those of regular European Blackjack. The goal, as in all blackjack games, is to beat the dealer by getting cards that come closer to a total of 21, without going over.

European Blackjack is played with two decks of cards. The dealer receives only one card at the beginning; there is no hole card. The European Blackjack rules state that the dealer must stand on soft 17. You may double down on a hand of 9, 10, or 11 only. You may split only one time, you may not split unlike 10-value cards, and you may not double down after a split. You may hit after splitting aces.

The High Streak side bet is the special feature that makes High Streak Blackjack such a new and exciting online blackjack game. The High Streak bet enables you to win jackpots that get bigger and bigger the longer your blackjack winning streak goes on.
