Split Aces receive only one card, and you can’t re-split them. You're free to split up to three hands, meaning you might have three blackjack hands going at once – pretty cool, right? Or, surrender any first two cards. There’s one exception: If you get a blackjack after splitting, it pays even-money – not 3-2 In all the blackjack games available to gamble at Ignition, blackjacks (a hand containing an Ace and 10) pay 3-2. You can adjust your strategy according to the dealer's actions. He will stand on all other 17’s and above. In regular speak, that means the dealer will hit (take another card) if his 17 contains an 11-point Ace (it’s soft because the 11-point Ace can be converted to a 1-point Ace). In our casino, when you play standard blackjack, the dealer has to hit on soft 17. One rule you’ll always see written on the tables dictates what a dealer does with a score of 17.

The rules generally depend on the online casino you play, so to make things easy we’re going to cover standard six-deck blackjack – available at Ignition Casino.
