The object of Blackjack Switch is for the total of
your cards in either hand to be closer to 21 than the dealer’ s cards, without exceeding 21. Card
values are the same as in standard Blackjack – aces count as either 1 or 11, face cards as 10,
and number cards as their face value.
The rules are the same as in standard Blackjack (see here). Except you have two hands, which you play
in turn – first the right and then the left one, then the dealer plays his hand. You may split,
double, take insurance etc. just like in standard Blackjack. An exception from the standard Blackjack
is that the dealer always hits soft 17 – meaning he always draws one more card when he has 17 with
an ace counted as 11. Also, ‘Blackjacks’ pay 1/1 instead of 3/2 although more ‘Blackjacks’ are
created due to the ‘switching’ option. (See below). Another exception is that Blackjack rule
no. 5 (“If the player doubles and the dealer’s first card is of value 10, and the dealer
gets blackjack, the player loses only the initial bet.”) does not apply in Blackjack Switch.
Switch
Prior to any hits, you may switch the top cards of your two hands.
Push 22
Dealer will “push” on a total of 22 (except 'Blackjacks' will still win). This means
that whenever the dealer's total reaches 22 then all bets are 'pushed', regardless of their total except
if a player has a ‘Blackjack’, which will still win.
Super Match
The small circle between the standard bet areas is the super bet area. The super bet wins if your initial
4 cards contain 2 or more matching cards. For example, if your right hand is a Queen and a Six, and your
left hand a Queen and a King, you have a pair and your super bet wins. The win ratios are written on
the table.
