Blackjack is widely popular in Madagascar, both online and in land-based casinos. The game is played by using a standard 52-card French deck. Although there are various varieties of blackjack available in the country, the most common variant is American blackjack. In this game, players will place their bet, receive two cards facing up and a dealer card facing down. The game will then continue after the initial deal and the player will aim to beat the dealer's hand, without going over 21.
Another version of blackjack that is popular in Madagascar is Blackjack Super Sevens. This is a newer variant offered in some online casinos and on the gaming floors of some local casinos. This version of blackjack typically comes with a side bet on the side bet option that pays on a combined total of 7's with the player's first two cards. These 7's can be a pair, three, four or seven of them. Pairs receive the largest payout with a wild 7 card paying out a jackpot.
