Las Vegas Poker & Blackjack

About

Las Vegas Poker & Blackjack pits you against a dealer in classic card games from 1979. Choose between 7-Card Stud or 5-Card Draw and set your starting bankroll before placing bets. The single player mode challenges a computer opponent while two-player matches let you compete head to head. Simple controls handle betting rounds and hand management across multiple rounds of play. This Intellivision title from Mattel Electronics stands out as one of the earliest home console attempts at replicating casino gameplay. Developed by John Brooks for APh Technological Consulting it offers surprisingly solid mechanics for its time. Community ratings on MobyGames average 68% acknowledging its historical significance but noting dated AI behavior and minimal visual flair compared to modern titles. The inclusion of both single and multiplayer modes for 1979 hardware remains notable.
