Double Exposure Blackjack

This game is one of the variations of blackjack and is also referred to as Zweikartenspiel in German which translates to “Two card game”. This game is played in a casino where a dealer is supposed to receive two cards facing up as part of the initial deal. It is important for players to know the dealers hand as it gives them significant information.

This game was invented by a gentleman by the name Richard A. Epstein and it first appeared at the Vegas World. The basic strategy for Double Exposure Blackjack is different from most blackjack variants and this is due to the fact that players are able to see the dealers cards 11 through to 20 and also because the player is at risk of losing all ties apart from blackjacks. For example when a player splits 2 ten valued cards when a dealer has 13 to 16 and a hard 19 is supposed to be hit when a dealer has a 20. The house edge of Double exposure blackjack is greater than the regular blackjack and this means that this game is one of the best bets in any casino that offers it if played properly.
