Summary of Blackjack Switch Rules
It is now possible for the blackjack player to trade a card between two hands.
The player needs to put an equal bet on the two hands and can only switch the
second card between the hands. Being able to switch a blackjack card increases
the chances of hitting a blackjack and getting better cards. Therefore there are
a few extra rules to make the blackjack game more honest towards the dealer.
Special Blackjack Switch Game Rules
- The rules of regular blackjack apply with an exception of the
rules listed below.
- The player must make two equal bets.
- Cards are dealt with the face 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.
- Dealer hits a soft 17 (soft=17 with an Ace).
- If you get blackjack you will get paid 1:1, normally 3:2.
- When the dealer gets 22 all bets are 'pushed', expect for the
blackjacks.
- Super Match. Possibility of placing an extra bet on getting 2
matching cards out of your first 4 cards.
In Conclusion
Dealer is compensated with a push on 22 and a smaller blackjack payout (1:1).
Player has more possibilities to influence the outcome of the game. Player will
get better blackjack hands and more blackjacks.
It is a lot of fun to switch
those cards around!!!
