How to Play Blackjack Switch?

The main difference between Blackjack and Blackjack Switch is that the player is dealt two separate hands with two identical bets when playing Blackjack Switch. The dealer is still dealt one hand. They are allowed to switch the second cards around before the player hits. Blackjack Switch can be played at Playtech powered online casinos.

Please note that when playing Blackjack Switch, the dealer hits on a soft 17, Blackjack pays 1:1 instead of 3:2 since there are more chances to make a blackjack hand, double downs and splits are allowed, and the dealer will push a player’s hands on a dealer’s total of 22. However, Blackjacks still win.

The two kinds of bet areas are Normal Blackjack Switch bet area which is any of the two larger areas and the “Super Match” bet area is the small area. Keep in mind that when clicking on the normal bet area, you are actually placing two identical bets – one for each of your hands. In the “Super Match,” a player can place a bet higher or lower than the original Blackjack Switch bet. The objective of the “Super Match” bet is to be dealt a pair or better from the initial 4 cards dealt out. “Super Match” bets are settled before any further play.
