Vegas Downtown Blackjack uses 2 normal decks of 52 cards. The dealer
shuffles the cards before each hand begins. In Vegas Downtown Blackjack
the dealer is forced to hit on a soft 17, and blackjack beats any 21 value hand.
A player's blackjack always beats the dealer's blackjack, but the dealer wins
all other tied hands.
