Blackjack Switch
There is a new craze sweeping the casinos of Vegas and that is blackjack Switch! In many ways it is the same as playing blackjack, but with a twist because you can switch cards between the two hands which you are playing. The rules of the game is as follows-
To start you put the standard bet on two separate hands of blackjack and then the fun begins. The bet amounts need to be equal, and then you are dealt the standard two cards on each hand. It is then possible to switch the second card ONLY of each hand to improve both of your hands. Now at this point in time, it seems fair too good to be true, and to a degree it is as the casinos have obviously made sure that some other rules preserve a slender house edge. The main rules to blackjack switch are as follows-
* The rules of regular blackjack apply with an exception of the rules listed below.
* The player must make two equal bets.
* Cards are dealt and they areface upwards.
* The player may switch the second card dealt to each hand. This is the rule that makes Blackjack Switch special. For example, you are dealt a 5+3, and 7+6. This will normally be a hand of 8 and 13. Especially the 13 is a terrible blackjack hand. If you now switch the second card dealt, the 3 and 6, you will get 5+6 and 7+3. In other words, two great hands for a double down (11 and 10).
* Player may double on any two cards and after a split.
* Player may not resplit like you normally would do at blackjack.
* Dealer hits a soft 17 (soft=17 with an Ace).
* If you get blackjack you will get paid 1:1, normally 3:2.
* An important rule is that when the dealer gets 22 all bets are 'pushed', expect for the blackjacks.
* Super Match option. Possibility of placing an extra bet on getting 2 matching cards out of your first 4 cards.
You can follow these rules and enjoy all that blackjack switch has to offer, both in casinos and and also playing blackjack switch online.
