What Happens if Dealer Has Blackjack and Player Has 21?

If the dealer has blackjack and the player has 21, it is a push. This means that the player’s bet is returned to them and they neither win nor lose money on the hand.

PRO TIP:If the dealer has blackjack and the player has 21, it is a push, meaning no one wins. Both the dealer and the player will get their original wagers back.

If the player has placed a side bet such as insurance, this will be lost as the dealer’s blackjack cancels it out.
