What is Blackjack Switch?
The most important features of Blackjack Switch are that you play two hands at once, can switch cards between hands, and a dealer hand of 22 pushes player hands of 21 or less. All that forces strategy changes
on the smart player. At the start, you make two bets of equal size, and you’re dealt two hands face up.
If the dealer has an Ace or 10 face up, he or she will check for blackjack first. If the dealer has blackjack, all bets are settled and there is no Switch opportunity. The other major difference between Blackjack Switch and regular blackjack is that 22 rule.
It’s a necessary rule — without it, the opportunity to switch would give players an edge. The house keeps its edge by having 22 push against player non-blackjack hands of 21 or less.
