Lesson description
Run 'Em Twice Blackjack gives the dealer their rare chance to split a hand with the same-value cards. Find out whether this game works in your favor with Mr Blackjack.
This blackjack variant is seemingly easy to play, as the rules for the player do not change. Lesson six: Run 'Em Twice Blackjack.
Only the dealer's side game play and payouts will differ from regular blackjack. The game starts, and you receive two up cards, and the dealer gets one card up, and one card face down. You play your hand normally, and on the dealer's turn, the second card is flipped up. In the event the dealer flips up a pair of any same value cards, such as tens, they must split the cards, and play two hands out normally.
The only extra rule added to Run 'Em Twice is the dealer 22 push against any hand, including 21, but not blackjack. Those are already paid out. So now you have to beat two hands, instead of one. If you win both hands, you get paid 1 to 1. If you push one, and win one, you lose. If you lose both, you lose. If you win both, you win. If you tie both, you tie, and your wagers become a push. So, basically, you have to win both in order to win, and the dealer can't have any 22s in one of their hands.
The only way this helps your game is if you're used to the dealer always getting 20 to start. This forces the dealer to split those into two new hands. What this blackjack game also teaches us is that you never split tens.
