In blackjack does the dealer get the cards in a tie?

I'm not sure what you mean about the dealer getting the cards. So, a quick lesson in Blackjack. When the dealer and the player both have hands that have the same value it is called a push, no win, no loss. There is no such thing as a tie-breaker. The dealer must stand on a 17 or better and hit on a 16 or under, no exceptions. As for the dealer getting the cards, the dealer gets all the cards, the dealer has control of the cards at all times.

Does a blackjack dealear hit on18?

No. Blackjack dealers ALWAYS stay on 18 or higher and ALWAYS hit on 16 or lower. So what about 17? Dealers ALWAYS stay on a "hard 17," which is a 7 and any card worth 10. A "soft 17" is a 6 and an Ace (counted as either a 1 or 11) and can therefore be considered a total of 7 or 17. Each individual casino has their own rule about a soft 17. The surface that the dealer deals on is called a "green," and the casino rule about a soft 17 is ALWAYS listed right there on the green. "Dealer hits soft 17" means just that, that he must consider the total to be 7 and hit. "Dealer stays on soft 17" means that dealer must consider the total to be 17 and stay, which gives you a slight advantage.

The dealer must hit until the hand value reaches hard 17 or better.


What does LSR mean in Blackjack?

LSR in blackjack stands for "late surrender". If a blackjack table allows late surrendering, that means the player is allowed to give up half of his bet and keep half of his bet instead of playing out his hand. An example would be if you had a 16 versus a dealer's facecard showing. You are likely to lose the hand whether you hit or stand, so you might consider surrendering and getting half of your bet back. Unless you're counting cards, the only hands you should surrender are as follows: 16 versus dealer's 9, 10 or ace 15 versus dealer's 10 BlackjackClassroom.com has lists of casinos where late surrendering is offered.


How do you hit?

You should ask the dealer what the proper indication is. Usually the desire to be hit in Blackjack is indicated by bending a finger towards you, in a "come here" sign, or by pointing down at the cards, but this could be confused with the stay command which is usually a flat open hand over the cards. Go with my first recommendation and ask the dealer.

What do Las Vegas blackjack dealers stand on?

They stand on the floor. But if you're talking about the card total... They stand on a hard 17 or higher and hit on 16 or lower. A "hard 17" is a 7 and any card worth 10. A "soft 17" is a 6 and an Ace (counted as either a 1 or 11) and can therefore be considered a total of 7 or 17. Each individual casino has their own rule about a soft 17. The surface that the dealer deals on is called a "green," and the casino rule about a soft 17 is ALWAYS listed right there on the green.

What does a Blackjack dealer have to hit on?

The rule of thumb for hitting is: If the dealer is showing a 2 through 6, stand on a breaking hand, 12 or better. If the dealer is showing a 7 through Ace, hit on a 16 or less. If you have two aces - you should split your hand and hit on both. Deuces are called a dealers Ace because the dealer can usually make a hand with a 2 showing, a lot of players will hit a 12 or 13 against a deuce. No guarantees of course, they don't call it gambling for nothing.


Does dealer have to hit on hard 17?

Soft 17Indicates that an ace is involved: A 7 and any card worth 10 would be a "hard" 17, and a Ace and a 6 would be a "soft" 17. It is considered soft due to the fact that the Ace can be counted as a 1 or an 11. A "soft" hand is a hand you can hit and get a 10 and still have the same hand; an Ace is ALWAYS involved. To answer your question, if the dealer must hit a soft 17 this means that if the dealer has an Ace, 6 hand they must take another card and can not stand on the 17.It is important to note that Dealer's Hitting of the "Soft 17" is very advantageous to the house. Such games should be avoided where that is an option.

Why is the banker bet better odds in baccarat?

The dealer has the advantage because the player is forced to make the first move. Therefore you have a good chance of busting before the dealer even plays his hand. The player is also forced to make his/her decision while only seeing one of the dealer's two cards.
