As for the reason the blackjack is "easier" it is probably to compensate for the inability to count cards gone from a shoe, to split pairs, to raise on hits, draw 5,6, or 7 under etc.,

I can't see the Strip game due to being vision impaired, which coincidentally is why I play games of this type in the first place. I've lost count of the times I've quit playing other games because they keep making them prettier with lots of pastel on pastel print and great detail at the cost of contrast and clarity..

I'm happy with the mini-game because it's the only side event I have ever been able to play in this game. Fingers crossed for more like it and even that could use a touch more contrast to be honest.
