Double Exposure Blackjack
Double Exposure Blackjack will open up a whole new dimension should you choose to play it, the reason for this is that you can see not only both your cards but you also get to see the Dealers cards.
This is due to the Dealer dealing all his cards face up!
Number Of Decks: Double Exposure Blackjack uses eight regular decks of playing cards.
Splitting Rules: You are allowed to split any two cards that have the same, equal value, this includes un-alike ten valued cards like Jacks, Queens and Kings. If you choose to Split Aces then just one card will be dealt to each Ace, and should you be dealt a ten valued card to either or both then this is a 21 hand and not a Blackjack.
Doubling Down Rules: You can Double Down on any hand that has a value of 9, 10 or 11, and you may double down after splitting cards. You cannot, obviously, double down after receiving a Blackjack hand.
Dealer Play: The Dealer will always Hit a soft 17 hand. The Dealer places all his cards face-up on the table. All tied hands will be won by the Dealer, except a tied Blackjack hand in which the Player will be deemed the winner.
Payouts and House Edge: A Blackjack hands pays even money, and a winning Insurance bet pays 2-1.
Double Exposure Blackjack – Hints and Tips
Due to the game rules which say you can only double down on hands that have a value of 9, 10 or 11 there are only a few times when the correct strategy dictates that you should double down.
The correct strategy in circumstances such as this is for the Player to hit his hand. If you have a pair of Tens then you should always double down the hand unless the Dealer is showing a 9, 10 or 11 if he has then you should hit your hand.
