Multi Hand Blackjack

Multi-hand blackjack is played with more than one deck of cards. Usually, 4 decks are preferred, but you could find some tables offering you two or eight decks. You will have the possibility to choose your preferred number of decks, considering the next hints:

Cards counting can also be successfully applied for two decks blackjack. Sure, it is harder, but you will also have more possibilities to win. If you are a card counter on simple blackjack, you might find the two decked blackjack as a good option.

Four decks blackjack is preferred by the casinos. As the majority of players won't like the eight decks system, the casinos are trying to attract players into the four decks version by offering great promotions.

The eight decks game is only played by advanced players. It is not suited for cards counting in any case.

Rules of multi-deck blackjack

• The rules of multi deck blackjack are the same. Let's review them for the beginners:
• The cards 2 to 10 are valued 2 to 10. It is simple to calculate totals if you have a hand that contains only those cards. A hand of this kind s considered a hard hand. This is because you can't make many combinations with it, and you will need some luck to win such a game.
• The cards 10 to K are all considered 10's. A hand that would contain only cards from 2 to 14 is considered a hard hand. However, a hand containing a card valued at 10 would have more winning chances, as you will also see one card of the dealers. However, the best hand would contain an Ace, and those hands are called soft hands.
• The soft hands would contain an ace. They are called soft hands, as you can consider the ace as being valued 1 or 11. This is why you can combine the cards in many ways, so your winning possibilities are increased. For example, a card containing an Ace and a 5 can be considered 6 or 16. However, it is advisable to take another card, as a 16 will almost surely be beaten by the dealer.

Online casino rules

The chips of blackjack are denominated 1 to 500 coins. As the game is played worldwide, you will also have the possibility to choose your currency. The beginners would rather play in dollars.

The bets can also be raised or lowered during the game, considering your options and your playing style.
