Blackjack is my favourite game

Have a question for an expert, so your post comes at a good time 😉

had 18 on hand, dealer 17 (ace, 4 and 3). Thought we would then stand at 17 as the rule says. For some reason (unknown to me) the dealer drew another card, said something about being at 7 again. Absolutely no idea what happened there. So is there even such a thing like stand at 17 or am i totally wrong for thinking that there was a rule like that???

I don’t know if you’re making this up, but the rule is dealer stands on soft 17. This shouldn’t even have happened.

Actually, that’s not true. While it is the most common rule that the dealer stands on soft 17, some casinos allow the dealer to deviate from this rule. Always check the rules, guys!

Also, if the dealer had ace, 4, 3, that’s 18.

Played 3 hrs of Blackjack at the Vic yesterday. Spent over 50 quid on drinks. I guess I will switch to online for some time.

To be honest, the only time I played Blackjack was when I tried to solve all the challenges in Red Dead Redemption 2 🙂

You mean the infamous challenge 8? Don’t even get me started… This took me longer than finding all the dreamcatchers.

@spinmaster fellow gamer here, hi 😀

@merlin yeah, guess at home the drinks are cheaper 😀

Actually it could have been that dealar had an Ace and there for 6/17 meaning he can draw one more.
