The cartridge that came with the console for years, so it is cheap and easy to find.
Las Vegas Poker and Blackjack was the pack-in cartridge for the Intellivision from 1979 to 1982, which explains why it is so easy to find today. It was also known as Blackjack and Poker. APh Technological Consulting developed it for Mattel Electronics.
In 1982 Mattel's own advertising used it to show off the console's cards against a stiff-looking dealer. It is a plain card game and best treated as a cheap completion item rather than a reason to buy a system.
How it was made
Developed by APh Technological Consulting for Mattel Electronics and packed in with the console from 1979 to 1982.
What the press said at the time
“Las Vegas Poker and Blackjack, the cartridge Mattel packs with each master component, is a video gambler's dream-come-true.”
Worth knowing
- From the Intellivision manual. The cartridge holds Blackjack plus three different poker games, all played against a computerized dealer.
- From the Intellivision manual. Your pretend wallet carries over from one card game to the next, whether you stay with the same game or switch.
- From the Intellivision manual. The two top side buttons on the hand controllers are not used in any of the card games.
Before you buy
Came with two keypad overlays. Among the cheapest carts in the library, loose or boxed, so there is little reason to settle for a poor copy.
