In Pollnivneach, head over to the building known as ‘The Asp & Snake Bar’. This is where you will find the NPC named ‘Ali Morrisane’.
Speak with him and select ‘Blackjack’ from his dialogue options. He will then explain how to play Blackjack.
To start playing Blackjack, you will need a blackjack weapon equipped. There are two types of blackjack weapons; the ordinary blackjack and the offensive blackjack. The ordinary blackjack can only be used for pickpocketing while the offensive blackjack can be used for both pickpocketing and knockout.
Once you have equipped your preferred blackjack weapon, find a suitable NPC to practice on. The best NPCs to practice on are those with high thieving levels such as bandits or Menaphite thugs. These NPCs have higher experience rewards than other NPCs.
To start playing Blackjack, right-click on an NPC and select ‘Lure’. You will then be presented with four options; ‘Knock-out’, ‘Pickpocket’, ‘Pickle-pocket’, and ‘Cancel’. Select ‘Pickpocket’ or ‘Knock-out’ depending on your chosen weapon type.
The objective of Blackjack is to get as close to 21 points as possible without going over. Each card is worth its face value, with face cards (King, Queen, Jack) being worth 10 points, and the Ace being worth 1 or 11 points.
After selecting ‘Pickpocket’ or ‘Knock-out’, you will be presented with two cards. You can choose to ‘Hit’ to receive an additional card or ‘Stand’ to keep your current hand. If you have a total of 21 points or less, you can choose to ‘Double Down’, which doubles your bet and gives you one more card.
If at any point your hand exceeds 21 points, you lose the game. If both you and the NPC have hands that are under 21 points, the highest hand wins. If both hands are equal, it is a tie.
To maximize your experience gain while playing Blackjack in RS3, use the following tips:
1. Use an offensive blackjack for knockout as it gives higher experience rewards than pickpocketing. 2. Equip a full set of Rogue equipment as it increases your chances of successfully pickpocketing NPCs.
3. Use the Thieving cape perk to increase your chances of successfully pickpocketing NPCs. 4. Train Thieving during double experience weekends for maximum experience gains.
In conclusion, playing Blackjack in RS3 can be a fun and rewarding way to train Thieving skill. Visit Pollnivneach and speak with Ali Morrisane to start playing today! Remember to equip a suitable blackjack weapon and use our tips to maximize your experience gains while playing this minigame.
