How Do You Play Canadian Blackjack?

Blackjack is a casino game that is played with cards. The object of the game is to beat the dealer’s hand by having a higher total than the dealer without going over 21.

The player who has the highest total without going over 21 wins the hand.

The game is played with one or more decks of 52 cards. The player and the dealer each start with two cards.

The player’s cards are dealt face up, while the dealer has one face up and one face down.

The player can choose to hit (take another card), stand (stay with the current hand), double (double the bet and take one more card), split (divide the hand into two hands and play them separately), or surrender (give up half the bet and fold).

PRO TIP:When playing Canadian Blackjack, be sure to pay close attention to the dealer’s up card as that will determine your best move. Remember that the dealer must hit on soft 17 and that a blackjack pays 3:2.

If the player’s hand goes over 21, it is a bust and the player loses the bet. If the dealer’s hand goes over 21, it is also a bust and the player wins the bet.

If both hands are under 21, then whoever has the higher total wins.

Canadian blackjack is played with slightly different rules than regular blackjack. The main difference is that in Canadian blackjack, if the dealer has an ace and a ten-value card (a so-called “blackjack”), then he can offer insurance to the players.

This means that if any of the players have a blackjack as well, they will be paid out at 2-1 odds on their bet. If no one has a blackjack, then everyone loses their insurance bets.

In addition, Canadian blackjack also allows players to re-split up to three times for a total of four hands, and it also permits doubling down on any two cards. These additional rules make Canadian blackjack a more favorable game for players than regular blackjack.
