Welcome to Blackjack Misc!
The setup will start once at least 7 players have signed up, or when the dealer decides.
Gameplay
Starting from the first slot, the dealer gives a card to every player faceup.
They then deal themselves a card, faceup.
These two steps are then repeated with one difference - the dealer’s second card is facedown.
Players then, in order of seat number, have four actions: hitting, standing, doubling or splitting.
- To hit means to draw another card from the deck to add to your total.
- To stand means to remain with your current hand and end your turn.
- To double means to double your bet, hit and then stand.
- Players may split natural pairs. Splitting means you seperate your two starting cards into two hands, double your bet and then play both hands. Your bets are seperate.
- Eight decks will be in play, and will be shuffled after 50% of the 8 decks have been drawn.
- You may pre-queue actions.
- Optimal strategy based on mathematics (without considering card counting) is referred to as “basic (strategy)”. Casinos allow players (and even the dealer!) to advise players on what the best move is according to basic because it doesn’t push the player edge over the house edge.
- To prove the game is not rigged, encrypted files containing the deck are here.
Rules
- If someone goes over 21, they go bust. If someone obtains 21 in their first two cards, they have a blackjack.
- If a player goes bust, they lose their bet. If the dealer goes bust, every player who didn’t go bust wins.
- All face cards are worth 10. An ace is equal to 1 or 11. When an ace is not in your hand, the total of your hand is said to be a “hard” total. When an ace is in your hand, the total of your hand is said to be a “soft” total. For example, a hand of 10/8/1 would be a hard 19 and a hand of Ace/8/1 would be a soft 20.
- The dealer must stand on 17 or more. This includes soft 17.
- Players are allowed to advise each-other and collude.
- Double after splitting is allowed.
- You may have up to four hands maximum per round.
