Online Double Exposure BlackjackDouble Exposure Blackjack is a blackjack game in which both of the dealer's cards are dealt face up at the start of each game. This is a big advantage for the player in deciding how to play his hand. At the same time, there are other Double Exposure Blackjack rules that favor the dealer.
How to Play Double Exposure BlackjackDouble Exposure Blackjack was invented in 1979 by Bob Stupak, the owner of Vegas World casino and one of the more interesting characters in blackjack history. Double Exposure Blackjack is also known as Dealer Disclosure or Face-Up 21. These are all the same game, different name. The main idea of Double Exposure Blackjack is that there is no hole card. Both dealer cards are dealt face up. This creates a huge strategy advantage for the player, as it provides the player with more information with which to make an informed and intelligent decision regarding whether to stand, hit, double down, or split.
One difference between Double Exposure Blackjack and normal blackjack games is what happens in the event of a tie. Normally in a tie situation, the player gets his bet back but doesn't win anything. This is called a "push." But in Double Exposure Blackjack, the dealer wins all ties (except for tied blackjack). Another major difference is that instead of getting paid 3:2 on a blackjack hand, the player only gets even money.
| Double Exposure Blackjack is played with eight regular decks of cards, and the cards are shuffled after each hand. As in all traditional blackjack games, aces can count as either 1 or 11, whichever is more advantageous to the player. The dealer must hit on a soft 17. The dealer wins all ties except for a tied blackjack, which is won by the player. Player blackjack pays even money. The player can double down on 9, 10, or 11, and may double down after a split. Three splits are allowed (to form four hands). |

Aces can be re-split, but a split ace and a 10 is considered a 21 and not a blackjack. Cards with the value of 10 — even cards that are not identical — can be split.
