Blackjack pays 3 to 2 Early surrender for any hands except the situation dealer shows Ace Split three times to make 4 hands Split aces to 1 time (dealer gives only one card to splitted Aces) And also when you make double down whenever you want you can make one more double after got the third card (They call extra double). As stated above, my Triple Up 21 strategy will apply in a hit-soft 17 game, except don't triple on a blackjack if blackjack pays at least 6-5. The triple-down rule by itself is worth 1.64%! It's not whether you win or lose; it's whether or not you had a good bet. Slowing Down Blackjack Game HOME Blackjack Guide Slowing Down Blackjack Game As we said in the previous article, for a basic strategy player, reducing the number of hands played per hour is one of the most important goals. A question for the AP's: Are there marginal circumstances where a double down would still be the most appropriate play, even if triple down is allowed? No, for the same reason that it is never correct to 'double for less.' From my blackjack appendix 5 every correct doubling play has a positive expected value. For that reason, you should want to. Rules vary at many blackjack tables, be it virtual or land-based, as well as between variants. So, when you’re playing blackjack, triple-check these rules and what it means for your gameplay. For the most part, casinos let you double down on any two original cards, and some let you do it on blackjack (ace-11).

Nobody's gonna take that bet! This isn't as juicy as the Klondike/Wong/Lammers play of a few years ago, and it's not in Las Vegas so there are fewer local sharpies, but it will still be mobbed. The question is indeed WHEN not IF it will be burned down.

So will my $100 Free bet pay $200 or $300? :)
I'll probably be there.I don't want to bet on it, but let the record show that I predict that additional limitations will be put in place, at the least, by 9:00 AM. Most likely lowering the max triple-bet and/or limiting the number of tables.I'll take the 'over' on 9AM for restrictions. They won't know how badly their being beat yet. But, 9AM is a tough line.

Okay, let's bet 'honor' on it.Somebody pointed out to me that the player may actually be able to quadruple down:
Showing an eleven and looking to double down? On Thursday, July 15th, guests who play Spanish 21 or Blackjack will be eligible to triple down on their bet f.rom 6:00am on July 15th to 5:59am on July 16th. After a player receives their first two cards, they may make an additional wager up to triple the amount of the original wager. All tables will make tripling down available up to a $500.00 maximum bet. Standard double down rules apply. -- Source: newsroom.mohegansun.com.
If the additional wager is 3x the intial bet, then it should be called quadrupling down, because doubling down is adding 1x. If the player can in fact quadruple down then I show the player edge goes up to 3.56%!. Here is a quadruple down strategy.

...be eligible to triple down on their bet...
...they may make an additional wager up to triple the amount of the original wager...

You're absolutely right that the latter phrase mathematically should be called a Quadruple Down. However, the former phrase 'Triple Down' would contradict that.
I'm sure this will be a case where they will invoke the fine print: Not responsible for typographical errors.
FYI: I couldn't find the fine print on the website, but it's probably on the print art in the casino.
Even if it's not, they'll claim that despite the contrdiction, it should be obvious what thier intention was.

Somebody pointed out to me that the player may actually be able to quadruple down...

Yikes!!! I'll still take the over on 9:00 AM, but I am much less confident. I hope I don't lose my 'honor.'

Blackjack is the most popular casino table game of all drawing in countless numbers of hungry players both in the brick and mortar casino, and in online casinos.

Are you a player who is knowledgeable about blackjack strategy? In this article, we detail the basic blackjack strategy charts and provide you with other handy tips to give you the best possible chance of leaving the casino – physical or virtual – in profit.

Basic Blackjack Terms

As with every classic casino table game, there is a lot of lingo thrown about which might sound double Dutch to novice blackjack players. What on earth does it all mean?

Ultimately, you will become more familiar with all the blackjack lingo as you develop your game, whether that is in the brick and mortar casino or at an online casino.

Nonetheless, we have listed some handy basic blackjack terminology below:

• Stand. The player stays with the cards they were dealt
• Hit. The player is dealt another card, and they can be dealt more if they wish. If the total of the cards exceeds 21 at any point, the player is bust and loses the hand
• Surrender. This is where the player gives up half his bet to forfeit the hand
• Double down. The player doubles their original bet and is dealt one more card, and it can only be one
• Split. If a player is dealt a pair (two 4s for example), or two ten-valued cards, such as a queen and a king, the player can split those cards into two different hands. The player is then dealt another card to each hand. The player must make a second bet of equal value to the first to use the split
• Hard hand. A hand without an ace
• Soft hand. A hand with an ace

Blackjack Strategy Chart

The first thing to get to grips with is ‘basic strategy’ which is probably the most essential ingredient of blackjack strategy.

The basic strategy detailed below is based on blackjack games played with 4 or more decks. Essentially, the basic strategy is a template which shows you the best course of action to take based on the cards dealt.

More Blackjack Tips

The tables above are based on the standard blackjack rulesets. However, there are many different variations of blackjack both in physical casinos and in the online casino landscape.

These variations have different rulesets, so be mindful of the fact that some of the strategies above may not directly apply to the particular blackjack game you are playing.

In fact, the most useful thing you can do is check the specific ruleset of the blackjack game you are playing as soon as you sit down at the table.

Here are some general pointers and questions to keep in mind when playing your particular game of blackjack:

• How many decks are used?
• Are surrenders permitted and are they early or late ones?
• Are there any restrictions on double downs?
• Are there rules regarding splits?
• Is the dealer obliged to hit on a soft 17?

Here are some extra tips which relate to any blackjack game:

• Do not take on any side bets
• Don’t take insurance. This is a side bet which can be placed if the dealer’s face card is an Ace to ‘insure’ you against the dealer having a blackjack. In reality, the odds are stacked against you and it is not worth taking this bet up
• If it is not possible to split your pair, treat your pair as a hard hand
