BlackjackRules

Defines configurable rule sets for Blackjack tables, allowing flexible variations such as payout ratios, dealer behavior, and player options.

Overview

The Blackjack Rules component provides a fully configurable rule system for Blackjack tables in uVegas. It allows you to define all relevant gameplay parameters - from dealer behavior to payout structure - through a single ScriptableObject. These rule assets can be assigned to different table prefabs to create custom game variants (e.g., “Classic 21”, “Vegas Strip”, or “High Roller” tables).


Key Features

  • Modular Configuration - Each table can have its own rule asset.

  • Authentic Gameplay - Supports traditional Blackjack conventions such as splits, double downs, insurance, and surrender.

  • Dynamic Adjustments - Modify rules in the Inspector without changing code.

  • Payout Customization - Configure winnings and insurance multipliers for various styles of play.
