So, I'm ranking away...betting 2, playing it out...and I get dealt a pair of aces.

That's rare enough, that even I split it. I get a queen (21) and a ten (21) and the dealer busts. (Since they were each 21 on their own, it wouldn't let me swap a card, then try to double down on each.)

I won only 8 gold. Shouldn't that have been 10? They were both "natural" blackjack.

Anyhow, this means the highest theoretic blackjack win, you can possibly do in one hand, is 4,000 gold. That would be, bet 500, dealt a pair, split, get dealt low cards and double down on each (while the dealer busts or at least has a poor hand.)

I seem to recall getting 3,000 once, but never 4,000. Anyone ever get it?
