Blackjack Caribbean's Main Menu has plenty of options. From the Main Menu you access the game itself plus:

- Player settings that allow you to change your player name, money and reset scores.

The game itself has two modes, five minute mode and thirty hands mode (defines the duration of your game) with the goal of each being straight forward; earn as much gold as possible. Betting is limited (default to $100 per hand) but adjustable in the settings and game play is not unlike other blackjack games. At the end of your game, your pot of gold is registered on the high score listing.
Blackjack Caribbean has really nice graphics, game play nice. Blackjack Caribbean is a free, ad-supported game with a banner ad discretely placed at the side of the screen. There is one annoying feature to Blackjack Caribbean in that after every seven hands a pop-up ad banner appears. It tends to break your concentration and the flow of the game.
All in all, Blackjack Caribbean is a decent game of blackjack. Get rid of the pop-up banner and the game would noticeably improve. You can download your free copy here (opens Zune) at the Marketplace.
