What Happens if You Have 5 Cards in Blackjack?

If you have five cards in blackjack, you are automatically entitled to a payout of 3:2 on your bet. This is regardless of what the dealer has in their hand.

PRO TIP:If you have 5 cards in a game of Blackjack and your total score is 21 or less, you automatically win the hand. If your total score is 22 or higher, you will ‘bust’ and automatically lose the hand.

If the dealer also has five cards, then your payout will be 1:1.
