How to Play Blackjack Switch
The game of Blackjack Switch is, as you've
probably already guessed a modification of Blackjack. If
you know the rules and can play Blackjack, you will have
no trouble learning Blackjack Switch. However, there are
some important differences from standard Blackjack, so before
playing please first read the Blackjack Switch Rules detailed
below.
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, the
same as normal Blackjack.
The rules are the same as in standard Blackjack except
you have two hands, which you play in turn. First the right
hand, then the left. The dealer then 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.
Blackjack only pays evens instead of 3/2 although playing
Switch, more Blackjacks are created, due to the switching.
Another exception is that, 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.
Switching - 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 a Blackjack still wins. This means that whenever
the dealer's total reaches 22 then all bets are 'pushed',
regardless of their total except if a player has blackjack,
which will still win.
Super Match - Some online casinos offer Super Match. A
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.
