Blackjack is the most popular table game in casinos all around the world. But it wasn’t always that way. When Nevada first offered Twenty-One in 1931, it failed to catch on. Casinos had to tweak the rules to entice the public, offering 10 to 1 bonus payouts for landing a Jack of spades or clubs. Eventually it did catch on, and the 10 to 1 bonus payout was no longer needed. Since then, several rule changes have happened to keep up with the evolving game. Now, standard blackjack is played with six decks, with the dealer hitting soft 17, and blackjack paying 3:2. Of course, there are variances between casinos, and even variance between the blackjack games offered in a single casino. The New Blackjack offered at Ignition Casino has the following rules: Minimum bet per hand $1 Maximum bet per hand $500 Blackjack pays 3 to 2 Insurance pays 2 to 1 Dealer must hit soft 17 Surrender any first two cards Split up to three hands Split aces receive only one card Double any two cards No re-splitting of aces A split ace and a 10-value card is not a blackjack Six decks used, reshuffled after each round These rules are the same as our Classic Blackjack. Single Deck Blackjack Other than limiting the decks to one, Single Deck Blackjack restricts the number of split hands to two and has a smaller $300 maximum bet per hand; that’s for both the New Single Deck Blackjack the Classic variant.
