Double Exposure Blackjack

One of the variations of Blackjack is Double Exposure Blackjack. Just as the standard game it is played with 8 decks of cards. One deck has 52 cards, and all cards are re-shuffled after each hand.

In order to win the total value of the cards in your hand must be as close to 21 as possible without going over. The player closest to 21 wins the hand. If the dealer goes bust you also win the game.

There are a few differences from standard Blackjack. You are not allowed to play multiple hands at one time. Also the dealer's first two cards are dealt face up. You may not get Insurance.

Blackjack is as in standard rules. You have a Blackjack if you are dealt an Ace and a ten valued card. Blackjack is the best hand and will beat all other hands.

Payout Schedule

In Double Exposure Blackjack you can bet from as little as $1 to as high as $200. If you beat the dealer you are paid at a ratio of 1-to-1. For example if your betting amount is 50 credits and you beat the house you will be paid 50 (your win amount) + 50 (your initial bet) = 100 credits.

You are allowed to re-split 3 times, thus having a maximum of 4 different hands to play. You can split Aces only once, and after splitting you will only get one more card. After that your hand must stand.

If the total value of your hand is 9, 10 or 11 you have the option of doubling your bet. This will give you the chance of winning four times your initial betting amount. The value of your Double Down bet must be the same as the initial bet. Even after splitting your hand you are allowed to double.
