Table guide · Free Bet
Free Bet blackjack
Free Bet adds house-covered doubles and splits to the Classic game. In exchange, a dealer total of 22 pushes eligible standing hands.
Free doubles
With a two-card hard total of 9, 10, or 11, you can take a free double. The house covers the additional stake, and you receive one more card. A regular paid double is also available where the table rules allow it.
Free splits
You can split a matching-value pair for free, except a pair of ten-value cards. The house covers the added stake on the new hand. Other eligible splits use the regular paid split option.
The dealer 22 rule
If the dealer finishes on 22, standing hands push instead of winning. Busted and surrendered hands remain losses. Other scoring follows this site's Classic blackjack rules, including 3:2 blackjack and the dealer hitting soft 17.
Opening side bets are available in Free Bet. The game uses a six-deck shoe and reveals one burned card after each shuffle.
