Blackjack Win/Play Variations

• Player 21 ties dealer 10 up Blackjack - If the dealer has a ten up and an Ace down and the player has any 21, there is a push.
• Dealer wins tied 17 - This awful option causes tied 17 hands to be lost instead of pushed.
• Dealer wins ties - With this option, you lose your bet on a tied hand. This awful rule sometimes is added to counteract another unusual option that heavily favors the player.
• Five cards unbusted wins - (Five Card Charlie) With this rule, the player always wins when five cards have been drawn without busting.
• Six cards unbusted wins - With this rule, the player always wins when six cards have been drawn without busting.
• Seven cards unbusted wins - With this rule, the player always wins when seven cards have been drawn without busting. This rule makes almost no difference and can be ignored.
• Player 22 counts as 21 - When set, the player does not bust with a total of 22.
• Dealer ten up exposes hole card - If this option is set and the dealer up card is a ten, the dealer flips over the hole card. This is a very valuable option and is not likely to be found in a casino without some other option which hurts the player.
• Dealer wins tied 17, 18 and 19 - This awful rule causes tied 17, 18 and 19 hands to be lost instead of pushed. This lousy rule exists in Swedish casinos.
