The game of Blackjack is quite diverse. Unlike a number of other games, the Black jack player is not limited to the same game over and over. Each variation of Chemin de fer has its own set of rules. It’s important to know these prior to diving in. In the event you bet on just one variation like one more, you may end up losing income. A few variations are minor, but others require their own system of play. Here are a couple of variations from the traditional Sin City Black-jack, which comes in 2 forms-Downtown and Sin City Strip.
European Twenty-one
European Black-jack is bet with two decks. The croupier have to stand on soft 17. Unlike the regular game of Blackjack, in European Black-jack, gamblers can only double down on Nine and Eleven. This is usually a serious restriction to those highly intense gamblers that like doubling on just about anything when the croupier has a 5 or 6 showing. Players aren’t allowed to split right after a splitting once nor can they double down on a split. There is no surrender option. The home has a 0.39% house edge.
Atlantic City Black jack
This variation of Blackjack is wagered in a shoe with 8 decks of cards. The croupier must stand on soft 17-like and Ace and a 6. Gamblers are allowed to double on first two cards and correct following a split. Splits may be re-split to form up to 3 total hands. The dealer checks for Chemin de fer ahead of the hand continues, and late surrender is allowed. Atlantic City Black jack has 0.35% home advantage.
Double Exposure Black jack
Several gamblers flock to Double Exposure Chemin de fer, simply because they think the edge is in their favor. In this variation, both croupier cards are dealt face up. Sounds great correct? A Hearts, but here’s the rub. The croupier wins all ties except Black-jack. Here’s yet another. Twenty-one only pays even income. There is no bonus for getting it. The game is played with a shoe and Eight decks of cards. The dealer hits on soft Seventeen. It is possible to re-split hands to make up to 4 separate hands. Here’s yet another downside. You can only double down on difficult 9 and Eleven. Also, in case you split aces, you get a single final card on every single. The house advantage on Double Exposure Black-jack is 0.69%.
