What a fantastic idea for a thread, and what an amazing screenshot to start it off with. In all my years playing BJ on and off line I have only seen a 7 card hand once, never seen an 8 card BJ hand ever!!!!

BJ Trivia Question
While dealing BJ many years ago, I really pissed off the players when I drew a 10-card hand for a total of 20!
The maximum dealer draw, of course, is 12 cards (13 if the house hits soft 17)-does anyone know the correct composition and order of cards for that hand?

One scenario for a 12 card 17 would be 6 aces, a 6, then 5 more aces

I was playing this one at the local SPCA and hit three dogs with buckteeth, I think it pays similar to a staight flush, I missed the damn fourth one by a beagle.

This screen shot came about because I for some reason didn't research the casino before making my deposit... a rare lack of judgment.

Not at all - that will occur once in every 50,653 spins...
(Assuming 1 spin a minute you'll get that once every 35 days if you play non-stop)

no.....i was referring to the mad Aussie dealer dealing himself a card after I had BlackJack then announcing "BUST"
it's just a funny thing with their software.....i still would get paid even if he hit his 21 with that 3rd card. I just found it humorous.

I bet that would be in the Sucks page if the dealer got 21 as well. I don't think BlackJacks after splits get automatic payment. Not sure though.

I believe this is a "play on natural blackjack" for the dealer to "play out" their hand until they get a 17 to 21 or go bust, regardless of the player's hand even if it is a blackjack. In real casinos, this effects the subsequent hands but I don't know to what extent. But supposedly in online casinos, the "deck" is "shuffled" after each play, so what is the point? I don't know ...I guess to provide that experience of a real casino. Maybe play on natural blackjack is a standard Aussie casino thing.

Glitch in brand new slot!
Hey - I found the 'Achilles Heel' in a new RTG slot!
Playing autoplay in 'Fun Mode' to try it out it suddenly stopped on this & said 'Feature Triggered'.
But it wasn't!! You have to get 3 Achilles OR three scatters - not a mix!
When I hit 'Spin' it just carried on with a normal spin! Weird!

I think it is simply a matter of the programmer forgetting to include a line in the programme that if all players have blackjack or have busted and the dealer has no blackjack, then the dealer need not play out his hand.

Many years ago, in Macau if you did get a 7 card hand at BJ, you are offered an immediate win of 50% of your bet although you could also choose to stay to get the possible 100%.

If the software dealt cards sequentially, wouldnt drawing an extra card affect the following hands?

I think most online casinos shuffle after each hand of BJ...so taking extra cards wouldn't have any affect. I really hope the ones that don't aren't taking extra cards.

Well... I'm certainly not used to seeing that either. Haha, glad you won though! Out of curiosity "nafanny29", what casino/software is that? I can't recognize it.

You should probably be thankful that the 5th card wasnt a face card though.

Correct KK, although the speed is a lot better lately.
The actual game was "table Blackjack". I know its not the lowest HA version on offer but to me it seems fairer that the "players suite" games. I actually have winning sessions on this game which is most unusual for my online BJ play.

While waiting for my winnings from a poker tourney I popped $5 into the flash blackjack and played at $1 a hand. I stood on the 18 and ended up pushing, but I was really tempted to hit just to see what the next card would have been!

I believe that the casino gives back the double-down bet when the dealer blackjack is not revealed until you play your hand. That is the only thing I can think of why I got a dollar back in the posts above.

It is to your advantage to hit a soft 18 against a 10. It would have been interesting to see how many more cards you could play.

Triple split and BJ
I think this is a bit rare. I was playing single hand and split aces twice, and
then all hands hit BJ. So it is more rare than getting 3 BJ when playing 3 hands, since you can then get the face card first.

I made that post a while back. He did just that at nordic bet casino and hit 21 and I ended up with a push ?! Noone really seemed interested. It must only happen once in a blue-moon but still. I was done out of a fair bit of cash there.

I think some of the rogues do that. Why the hell not? They have no intention of paying anyone anyway.wtf? Do they have the ability to set $50 per line bets or is that just a wierd glitch

One of the reasons that the screenshot is rare is because most BJ games don't allow you to resplit aces. The only BJ games I am aware of where the screenshot would be possible are Wagerworks European BJ, most Grand Virtual Games BJ games, and some unique variations (Superfun 21, Spanish BJ, etc.)

I have already posted it in the WS, but it should belong here.
8 Aces from the first 10 cards.

You're both 10x more knowledgable than me about blackjack, but I would have doubled every split ace if I could... would that be stupid?

If you could double on a 1-card hand composed of only an ace, it would be a good option. However, after a split (any split, not just aces), you are dealt a second card to make a 2-card hand. You don't have a chance to double until after this second card is dealt. Under most casino rules, you do not have the opportunity to double on the 2-card hands formed after an ace split. If you are able to double, optimal strategy varies depending on the value of the 2-card hand and dealer upcard.
