It is important to note the following:

* Single Deck Only - Use Chart Strategy

  • Non Pairs of 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 - ALWAYS HIT despite the Dealer’s Face Up Card.
  • To the left of the / sign refers to multiple deck. To the right of the / refers to single deck
  • In single deck, the dealer hits on soft 17
  • 17 through 21, ALWAYS STAND despite the Dealer’s Face Up Card.
  • If the casino offers SURRENDER in Multiple Deck, and you have a Hard 16, you should surrender against the Dealer’s 9, 10, or Ace.
  • If the casino offers SURRENDER in Single Deck, and you have a Hard 15, you should surrender your hand against the Dealer’s 10.
