Shaquille O’ Neal is the man when it comes to basketball, rapping and even acting. But he’s not stopping there. Just recently, he has made another great accomplishment: he invented a new form of blackjack.
Together with casino games developer, Dynamic Gaming Systems (Take a look at their social page at: https://www.facebook.com/dynamicgamingsystems), Shaq spent four years in developing the game. There were even pictures of the basketball star in his basement, using a UNIX machine to code different games.
The new blackjack is officially called, “ShaqBLACKJack.”
How does the game work?
It works like the traditional blackjack we know except for a few tweaks: It has a live dealer who deals three hands on a table, not just the usual one. Players are also allowed to pick the hand they want to play against.
It also has added bonuses:
An animated Shaq will run across each game station. When he stops at a particular station, that player becomes an instant winner.
An unlimited number of players can play at once from a single station. Plus, you get to see a Shaquille O’Neal cartoon congratulating you if you win the game. All these tweaks make ShaqBLACKJack a very entertaining game.
The new blackjack will be launched by Shaq himself at Parx Casino on October 4, 6:30pm along with the casino’s CEO, Tony Ricci.
“When we had the opportunity to play the game and we personally experienced Shaq’s enthusiasm for creating this thrilling new game for our customers, we knew we had to have it. Shaq himself is synonymous with excitement, winning and fun — and that is what we want our guests to think about Parx,” Ricci said.
If the new game becomes a big hit, it will surely make its way on the gaming floors of casinos across the country. Take a look at the preview of the game here.
