What Is $5 Blackjack?

$5 blackjack is a game where players bet $5 on the outcome of their hand. The object of the game is to have a hand total that is higher than the dealer’s hand total, without going over 21. If the player’s hand total is higher than the dealer’s, the player wins the bet.

If the dealer’s hand total is higher, the player loses the bet. If the player and dealer tie, it is a push, and no one wins or loses the bet.

The game is played with six decks of cards, which are shuffled together before each hand. The player and dealer each receive two cards dealt face down.

The player can look at their own cards, but they must not show them to anyone else. The dealer will then reveal one of their cards, and the player must decide whether to hit (take another card), stand (keep their current hand), double down (double their bet and take one more card), or split (if they have two cards of the same value, they can split them into two separate hands).

If the player decides to hit, they will take another card from the deck and add it to their hand. They can then choose to hit again, stand, double down, or split.

If they bust (go over 21), they automatically lose the hand and their bet is taken by the house.

If the player stands, the dealer will then reveal their second card and play their hand according to pre-determined rules. If the dealer busts, the player automatically wins the hand and their bet is doubled.

Otherwise, whoever has the higher hand total wins the bet.

A blackjack occurs when a player’s first two cards are an ace and a 10-value card (10, jack, queen, or king). This automatically beats any other hand except for another blackjack, which would result in a push. A blackjack usually pays 3-2 odds, meaning that if you bet $5 and win with a blackjack, you would receive $7.50 back ($5 x 3/2 = $7.

50). Some casinos may offer 6-5 odds instead of 3-2 odds; in this case you would only receive $6 back for your winning blackjack bet ($5 x 6/5 = $6).
