The only exception is when the dealer has a 17 that consists of an Ace and a six. The Dealer must play their hand the same way every time. Doubling, splitting and surrender are not available to the dealer and the dealer does not have any choice with how they play their hand like the player does. If the dealer has a hand total of 16 or lower, they will take additional hit-cards.

If the dealer has a hand total of 17 or higher, they will automatically stand. If your hand hasn’t busted, and you didn’t surrender, then it’s time for the dealer to play their hand. The dealer will first flip over their “hole card” (the face down card) and add up their 2-card hand. Stand – If your first two cards are acceptable, you can stand and the dealer will move on to the next player. Dealers will not respond to your verbal instructions because the cameras need to see your decisions as well. When it’s your turn, you will have to make your decision using the appropriate hand signal. If YOU don’t have a Blackjack AND the dealer doesn’t have a blackjack, your dealer will point to each player in succession and wait for you to decide how you want to play your hand. If the dealer also has a Blackjack, you wouldn’t win anything but you also wouldn’t lose your original wager. If you’re dealt a ten-value card and an Ace as your first two cards that means you got a Blackjack! Congratulations! Those get paid 3 to 2 (or 1.5 times your wager) immediately, without playing through the round, as long as the dealer doesn’t also have a Blackjack. To play your hand, first you add the card values together and get a hand total anywhere from 4 to 21. You have two cards face up in front of your bet. The dealer will start at the person on their left (also known as “first base”) and wait for that player to play their hand.
