BLACKJACK CAB
How double deck blackjack differs from the 6-deck game
- Two decks, 104 cards: every card dealt changes what is left in the shoe more than in a 6-deck shoe, and the cards are shuffled more often.
- The strategy chart changes in 4 cells compared with 6 decks and the same rules (list below); the chart under the game is the one for this table.
- This table: the dealer checks for blackjack, dealer hits soft 17, double after a split, no surrender, blackjack pays 3:2. Change the rules in Table settings.
