When playing blackjack, it is important to understand the difference between face up and face down cards. Face up cards are those that are visible to the player.
Face down cards are those that are not visible to the player, but are still in the deck. .
The most common type of blackjack is single deck blackjack. In this game, each player is dealt two face up cards. The player then decides whether to put all of their chips into their hand or split them between their hand and the deck.
If the player decides to put all of their chips into their hand, they then draw one additional card. If the player decides to split their chips between their hand and the deck, they then draw two additional cards.
Double deck blackjack is a variation of single deck blackjack that was first introduced in the early 20th century. In double deck blackjack, each player is dealt two face down cards instead of one face down card and one face up card. The face down cards are always placed next to each other, forming a double deck. The players then decide whether to put all of their chips into their hand or split them between their hand and the double deck. If the player decides to split their chips between their hand and the double deck, they then draw two additional cards.
One reason why double deck blackjack is dealt face down is because it increases the chances of getting a high-card. Double deck blackjack uses a 52-card deck, which means that there are four different types of hands that can be achieved: an Ace high ( Ace , 2 , 3 ), a Two high ( 2 , 3 , 4 ), a Three high ( 3 , 4 , 5 ), and a Four high ( 4 , 5 , 6 ).
When playing single deck blackjack, only an Ace high can be achieved.
Another reason why double deck blackjack is dealt face down is because it increases the chances of getting a Royal Flush. A Royal Flush occurs when a player gets five consecutive cards of the same rank (Ace through Ten).
In single deck blackjack, only a King or better can be achieved in this situation. When playing double deck blackjack, however, any five consecutive cards can be combined into one royal flush card.
