If you’re a fan of Blackjack like me, then you were probably drawn to Pocket7Games’ 21 Gold cash game. While it’s not exactly Blackjack, it incorporates quite a few different themes from the original game, and requires the same amount of math and tracking. The challenge of tracking four different lanes and doing mental math on-the-fly is quite appealing to me, and the opportunity to win real money makes it that much more attractive.

21 Gold has four different “lanes” that you can place cards in. In order to clear the lane and score points, you need the sum of the cards to add up to 21. You can also “bust” by going over 21, clearing the lane without awarding you any points. You only have three strikes, so try your best to keep your lanes from going over 21. Black jacks are wild and Aces can count as 1 or 11.

21 Gold Tips and Tricks

Scoring high comes down to managing your lanes and giving yourself the best chance to hit 21. I have found that keeping your lane numbers below 17 or 18 gives you a good chance of finding a card that will let you hit 21. The larger you go, the more limited your options will be when trying to hit 21.

Here are a few of the things I would try to avoid while playing the game:

  • Keep your lanes under 18 and definitely do not let them get to 20. If your lane reaches 20, you have very limited options and you will probably end up busting. Keeping your lanes under 18 will give you multiple options to hit 21 and score points, which can get you closer to the cash game winnings.
  • Avoid using your hold chances on high cards. You have a limited number of holds available. I’ve found that holding cards under 4 can be really beneficial and help complete rows and hit 21. Holding higher cards offers less utility and flexibility and increases the chance of a bust.
  • Don’t crowd your lanes or keep them at the same number. Try to keep a lane open, as you never know when you are going to get a big card that might otherwise lead to a bust. It’s also important to have a good spread on your lanes so that you have a good chance of finding a card that you can use. If you have several lanes sitting at 18, then you have limited yourself to finding cards under 4.

Here are a few tips on what you should focus on doing:

  • Line up consecutive 21 lane completion. The game awards bonus points for scoring back-to-back 21 lane clears, so try holding a card that can complete a lane while looking for another lane completion. These points can quickly add up and secure your win along with some real money if you are playing a cash game.
  • Try to aim for 11 on 1-2 lanes. Combining cards to reach 11 can be a real benefit since almost all face cards are worth 10 points. You play with a full deck, which means that there are 15 cards in the deck worth 10 points (minus the wild jack). Remember that Aces can also be used as 11, so saving them can be quite beneficial.
  • Hold onto low cards. Lower cards offer the most opportunities when it comes to uses, so saving anything under a 4 can help you out and save you from busting a lane with a high card.

21 Gold is a really fun and exciting game. Those who enjoy playing Blackjack will most likely find the similarities quite enjoyable. The tournaments offered can give you a good shot at earning some free cash, but they require several consecutive wins, so be sure to warm up before trying them out.
