Double Exposure Blackjack
Loading...In this type of online blackjack, which is popular in Canada, the dealer gets two open cards from the get-go, hence the name. Double Exposure Blackjack from Microgaming is played with 8 decks that are shuffled before each deal. Contrary to most of the other types of blackjack, here the dealer wins all ties with the exception of tied blackjack which is won by the player. Another distinction is that blackjack awards even money (1:1) instead of a classic 3:2 schedule.
Concerning split, a player may resplit any two cards that have the same value and denomination, e.g. a king and queen. Moreover, a player may split three times to make four hands. Double down is allowed after splitting. Surrender is not offered as an option. As for other rules, the dealer must hit on soft 17 and stand on hard 17. Player’s advantage is established at 99.31% provided the basic strategy is applied properly. In fact, Double Exposure Blackjack is easier to play than other online casino variations because a player actually has to always hit (take one more card) as long as the dealer’s score is higher or the same as player’s. Min/max real money bet sizes are C$1 and C$200 (or in bitcoin, if applicable) accordingly.
