One of the best Blackjack variants to play is the Classic Blackjack listed below, if you find it then you should definitely give it a try.
The reason for this is simple, based on the rules below it will return one of the lowest house edges of any Blackjack variant.
Number Of Decks:
The number of decks in play in Classic Blackjack is just one single deck.
Splitting Rules:
You are permitted as a player to Split any two cards but they must have the same, equal denomination, and as such you cannot split ten valued cards like Jacks, Queens and Kings.
By splitting a pair of Aces only one card will be dealt to each Ace, is this dealt card is a
ten valued card then this hand is a 21 hand and not a Blackjack.
When you split any hand in Classic Blackjack
another wager will be required on the new hand which has to be the equal to your first bet.
You are only permitted to split once and as such you will be playing two separate hands.
Doubling Down Rules:
Double Down is allowed but just the once.
Players may not double down after a split.
To be allowed to double down your hand must total 9, 10 or 11.
Dealer Play:
The Dealer is obliged to stand on all 17 hands. Classic Blackjack is a no peek game so he won't peek for Blackjack if he is holding an Ace or a Ten.
If you play online then the entire deck is shuffled before each game begins.
Payouts and House Edge:
A Blackjack hands pays 3-2,
and a winning Insurance bet pays 2-1.
The reason this game is favoured is that the House Edge of the Classic Blackjack game, is just 0.13%.
