Vegas Strip Blackjack

Vegas Strip Blackjack is played with four decks of 52 cards that are shuffled before each game. Vegas Strip Blackjack, like several other Blackjack variations, is an American Hole Card game which means that the dealer has to check for Blackjack each time he is dealt a ten, face card or an Ace. In Vegas Strip Blackjack, you can “hit” up to nine times to equal a hand of eleven cards as long as you don’t bust. If you reach the full eleven cards without going over 21, you will automatically stand and the dealer takes his turn. Also, in Vegas Strip Blackjack, the dealer must stand on any 17. If you get a Blackjack, unless the dealer has one as well, you are paid out at 3 to 2. If the hand is a tie with a Blackjack or any other hand, the round is a “Push” and your bet is credited back to your total.
