[edit] Power Blackjack

Rules for Power Blackjack game are based on the standard Blackjack rules.

[edit] Rules variations

The main rules are:

Six decks in shoe

Dealer stands on soft 17

Dealer play on 22

Power double – (see explanation below)

Power split – (see explanation below)

Player's Blackjack gets paid 3:2.

Double down after a Split is allowed

Dealer twenty two pushes against any active player hands (depends on casino rules)

Surrender when dealer has an open Ace is not allowed (depends on casino rules)

Insurance when dealer has an open Ace is not allowed (depends on casino rules)

[edit] Power double

If your two-card total is nine, ten or eleven (in some casinos soft 19 and 20 are included) you have the option of discarding the last card you receive and choosing the next one from the shoe. These options add more doubling opportunities.

Tips for playing Power double:

Do not make Power Double against dealer has nine or ten

Do not replace total nineteen or greater (except if you have an eleven and on power double you receive eight) Max this is tough to read. I think what you are trying to says is: Don’t replace the last card on a soft 19 or greater; except if will leave you with an 11

Always replace the last card on any total of seventeen or less

[edit] Power split

If you get dealt a fifteen or sixteen (in some casinos hard only) you can split two cards of different values. After performing power-split all regular double-down and split actions are allowed. However, power actions, such as power-split and power-double are not allowed for this hand anymore.

[edit] Cards counting

Cards counting used the same like in Blackjack rules, except dealer hand, which can play with 22 on his hand. In this case casino returns to player his bet. In some casinos player's Blackjack win dealer 22.
