Double deck blackjack basic strategy chart from Blackjack Review. Fine points include whether the dealer hits soft-17 and allows double after splits. The double-deck blackjack chart is identical for around 270 decisions, but deviates from single-deck strategy in a number of situations when doubling or surrendering is possible. The biggest deviation is with a pair of 7s, which with 2 decks should be hit against a 10, but surrendered or stand in a 1 deck game. The basic strategy for pair splitting is shown below in a black and white table followed by a color-coded chart for single-, double-, and 4/6/8-deck games. The black and white strategy table shows your pair in the first column and, in the second column, what the dealer’s upcard should be for you to split. Blackjack Strategy Charts NB: At this page you can find strategy charts for most common blackjack rules. In order to find the chart for the game with other rules you may use our Strategy Chart Generator where you can input the rules of the game you are playing and get your own Strategy Chart.

You will be able to find an accurate basic strategy for any set of rules for the following games:

HOW TO USE THE STRATEGY TABLES

Note: The blackjack strategy charts lists the player’s two-card hand total and a possible multi-card hand total as a result of hitting a previously different hand one or more times. (In other words, play the multi-card hand as if it were an original two-card holding.)

For example, suppose you are dealt a 9-3 against a dealer’s 2 upcard in a six-deck game with Soft 17 and DAS. The strategy charts and tables state “hit.” You draw a 3 and you now have 15 against a dealer’s 2. If you look up the strategy for 15 against a 2 (table or chart), it states to “stand” against a dealer’s 2. And so you should stand.

For soft hands, since you can’t double down on more than two cards, any total that would have resulted in a double down, were it only two cards, now must become a hit or stand decision.

For example, suppose you are dealt an A-3 against a dealer’s 4 upcard. You hit (per the blackjack chart or table), and draw a 4. You now have A-3-4, which you should consider as A-7. If it were a two-card A-7, you would double down against a 4; however, since the A-7 is actually three cards, and you can’t double down, you stand.

Here’s another situation that could occur with pairs if the casino rules either don’t allow replits, or if they do, but you have split up to a maximum of four hands. For example, suppose you are dealt a pair of 6s, the dealer’s upcard is a 6, and the rules don’t allow replits. You split the 6s and on one 6 you draw another 6. Because you can’t resplit, you once again have to consider just the total of the hand (12) against the dealer’s 6 upcard and decide whether to stand or hit (for which, in this example, the blackjack strategy charts and tables state to stand). Suppose instead the casino rules allow replits and you draw two more 6s, giving you four hands, each one starting with a 6. On one (or more) of the 6s you draw yet another 6 (which could occur in a multi-deck game). Since you can’t split again, you must consider this hand as a 12 against a dealer’s 6 to determine how to play it.

Another point to keep in mind is that the strategy in the following tables and charts (also known as blackjack strategy card) does not consider the composition of the cards in the hand. For example, the strategy charts and tables state that you should hit hard 16 against a dealer’s 10 (assuming surrender is not offered), regardless if your 16 is composed of 10-6 or 8-4-4. (I’ll have more to say about composition-dependent strategy in Chapter 5.)

BLACKJACK STRATEGY CHARTS

The color-coded strategy chart contains the same information as the black-and-white table except it presents the strategy in the form of a color-coded strategy chart matrix. (The reason is that some players find it easier to learn the basic strategy with a blackjack strategy chart.) The dealer’s upcard (2 though Ace) appears along the top of the chart and the player’s hand can be found down the first column (grouped in order by Hard Hands, Soft Hands, followed by Pairs). For example, if you are dealt, say, a 12 and the dealer’s upcard is a 2, go down the first column to 12, go across the top (Dealers’ Upcard ) to the 2, and at the intersection of the 12 and the 2 is the letter H, meaning the correct strategy is to hit.

Let’s try another hand. Supposed you are playing a single-deck, H17, NDAS game and you are dealt an A-7 against the dealer’s upcard of 6. To find the correct strategy, go down the first column to A-7 and then go across the row until it intersects with the column labeled 6 (i.e., dealer’s upcard). You’ll notice the letters Ds at that intersection. The abbreviation Ds means double down if the rules allow it, otherwise, you should stand.

(Note: There is a listing of abbreviations at the bottom of each chart or strategy card)

ONE FINAL TIP:

notice that the charts are color coded. The background colors for each decision are:

INSIDER TIPS FOR PLAYING SINGLE-DECK GAMES

In most single-deck games, the dealers pitch the cards face down to players and a discard tray is not used (although a few casinos have used them). It’s rare when a casino will deal the cards face up to players in a single-deck game. Be sure you know the correct etiquette for holding your cards and signaling your playing decision to the dealer when playing in a single-deck game. (See Chapter 1.3.)

The basic strategy for pair splitting changes slightly when the rules specify NDAS vs. DAS. If you look at the pair splitting strategy in the strategy charts for NDAS vs. DAS you’ll see that you will split more times when the rules specify DAS vs. NDAS. That’s because you want to be more aggressive in splitting when you have the opportunity to double down after you split. For example, with NDAS, you split 3s against a dealer’s 4, 5, and 6 upcard but with DAS, you extend the pair splitting to include the dealer’s 2 and 3 upcards.

Many single-deck games in land-based casinos pay only 6 to 5, instead of 3 to 2, for a winning blackjack. When the casino pays only 6-5 for a blackjack, the house edge increases by 1.4% (ouch!). I’ll have more to say about these dastardly 6-5 games in Chapter 5 but for now remember to never play any blackjack game that pays 6-5 on a blackjack.

The house edge against a basic strategy player in a 3-2 single-deck game is a function of the mix of playing rules. The following table summarizes the relationship of typical rules that you will find in a 3-2 single-deck game and the corresponding house edge against a basic strategy player. You will be hard pressed to find a multiple-deck game with house edges as low as a single-deck, 3-2 game, with H17 and RSA (0.16%) or just H17 (0.19%).

(Note: The house edges are from the respected book Blackjack Attack: Playing the Pros’ Way by Donald Schlesinger. The edges were computed for a basic strategy that considers just the total of all the cards in your hand (such as the basic strategy in the Tables and Charts in this chapter), without consideration of the individual cards that comprise that total. This basic strategy is known as Total-Dependent basic strategy. (I’ll have more to say about this in Chapter 6.)

You can find which land-based casinos in the USA offer good 3-2 single-deck blackjack games (i.e., lowest house edge) in the monthly Current Blackjack News. This subscription-based newsletter is emailed to subscribers every month and lists the rules and house edge for blackjack games in casinos all over the U.S. and Canada.

It’s rare for a casino nowadays to offer a single-deck game with S17 and DAS because a basic strategy player would have a tiny edge. Most single-deck games are H17 (or H17 with no doubling on soft hands). Surrender is rarely offered in a single-deck game (but I included it in the strategy charts and tables for the sake of completeness.)

You can always find out if a local casino offers a 3-2 single-deck game by calling the main casino number, asking the operator to connect you with the blackjack pit, then asking the person that answers (usually the floor supervisor) if they offer a single-deck game, and what the rules and payoffs for a blackjack are. In most cases, they will provide you with the information.

HOW TO USE THE BLACKJACK STRATEGY CHARTS AND TABLES

Below are some sample hands for a double-deck game.

Suppose you are playing a S17, DAS game and you are dealt A-7 and the dealer shows a 9 upcard. If you refer to the Double-Deck, S17, DAS Table, you will find the following rule for A-7:

* Double on 3 through 6
** Stand on 2, 7, 8; Hit on 9, 10, A

Since the dealer’s upcard is a 9, the correct basic strategy play is to Hit.

If you refer to the Double Deck, Soft 17, DAS chart, you will see that at the intersection of the A-7 and dealer’s 9 upcard is the letter H, meaning Hit.

Let’s try one more hand. You are dealt 4-4 and the dealer’s upcard is a 5. The rules are Hard 17, DAS. What does the strategy table or chart say to play it?

The answer is to Split.

INSIDER TIPS FOR PLAYING DOUBLE-DECK GAMES

In most double-deck games, the dealers pitch the cards face down to players, although a few casinos use a dealing shoe, but that’s rare. Be sure you know the correct Blackjack etiquette for holding your cards and signaling your playing decision to the dealer when playing in a double-deck pitch game.
Some double-deck games in land-based casinos pay only 6 to 5, instead of 3 to 2, for a winning blackjack. When the casino pays only 6-5 for a blackjack, the house edge increases by 1.4% (ouch!). I’ll have more to say about these dastardly 6-5 games in Chapter 6.2 but for now remember to never play any blackjack game that pays 6-5 on a blackjack.
The house edge against a basic strategy player in a 3-2 double-deck game is a function of the mix of playing rules.
The following table summarizes the relationship of typical rules that you will find in a 3-2 double-deck game and the corresponding house edge against a basic strategy player. Notice that the best double-deck games offer S17 and DAS (with or without RSA).
The house edge is only 0.14% - 0.19%, which is quite good. If your local casino offers only an H17 double-deck game, make sure they allow DAS, and better yet, with RSA and/or LS.
Note: The house edges are from the respected book Blackjack Attack: Playing the Pros’ Way by Donald Schlesinger. The edges were computed for a basic strategy that considers just the total of all the cards in your hand, such as the basic strategy in the Tables and Charts in this chapter, without consideration of the individual cards that comprise that total.

HOW TO USE THE BLACKJACK STRATEGY CHARTS AND TABLES

Suppose you are playing a S17, DAS game and you are dealt 10-6 and the dealer shows a 10 upcard. If you refer to the Four-or-More Decks, S17, DAS Table, you will find the following rule for hard 16:

* Surrender on 9, 10, A***; Stand on 2 through 6;
Hit on 7 and 8

Since the dealer’s upcard is a 10, the correct basic strategy play is to Surrender. If the casino rules for surrender don’t allow you to do so, then you should hit. When you check the *** at the bottom of the table, it explains what to do if surrender is not offered.

If you refer to the Four-or-More Decks, Soft 17, DAS chart, you will see that at the intersection of the 16 and dealer’s 10 upcard, the box states “Suh.” This means surrender if allowed; otherwise, hit.

Let’s try one more hand. You are dealt 7-7 and the dealer’s upcard is a 7. The rules are Hard 17, DAS. How does the strategy chart or blackjack strategy card say to play it?

The answer is to Split.

INSIDER TIPS FOR PLAYING FOUR OR MORE DECKS

The cards are dealt face up from a dealing shoe. Be sure you know the correct playing etiquette and how to signal your playing decision to the dealer when the cards are dealt face up.
Most shoe-dealt games in land-based casinos use six-decks of cards. Next most common is an eight-deck game; the four-deck game, once quite popular, is now rather rare.
Some games dealt with four or more decks in land-based casinos pay only 6 to 5, instead of 3 to 2, for a winning blackjack. When the casino pays only 6-5 for a blackjack, the house edge increases by 1.4% (ouch!). I’ll have more to say about these dastardly 6-5 games in Chapter 6 but for now remember to never play any blackjack game that pays 6-5 on a blackjack.
The house edge against a basic strategy player in a 3-2 four-, six-, or eight-deck game is a function of the mix of playing rules. The following table summarizes the relationship of typical rules that you will find and the corresponding house edge against a basic strategy player.
As a general rule, the best six-deck game has S17, DAS, RSA, and LS (house edge 0.26%). If the casino offers S17, DAS, and either RSA or LS, but not both, the house edge is still respectable (0.34% and 0.33% respectively). The house edge will increase if the rules are H17. If you must play a six-deck, H17 game, be sure the rules allow at least DAS, LS, and RSA (0.46%) or H17, DAS, and either LS (0.53%) or RSA (0.55%). For eight-deck games, you want, at a minimum, S17, DAS, and LS (0.36%). If the game is H17, you want at least DAS and RSA (0.58%).
Note: The house edges are from the respected book Blackjack Attack: Playing the Pros’ Way by Donald Schlesinger. The edges were computed for a basic strategy that considers just the total of all the cards in your hand such as the basic strategy Charts and tables (also known as blackjack strategy card) in this chapter, without consideration of the individual cards that comprise that total. This basic strategy is known as total-dependent basic strategy. I’ll have more to say about this in Chapter 5.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Never play any single-deck blackjack game that pays 6-5 (or worse, even money) for a blackjack.
• The single-deck basic strategy is rule dependent, meaning it’s slightly different depending if the rules are S17 or H17 with DAS or NDAS.
• You can achieve a very low house edge but only if you learn the basic playing strategy.
• A single-deck game with H17 and RSA or just H17 has the lowest house edge of any blackjack game (0.13% and 0.19% respectively).
• There are some good double-deck blackjack games with a very low house edge against a basic strategy player (as low as 0.14%).
• The double-deck basic strategy is rule dependent, meaning it’s slightly different depending if the rules are S17 or H17 with DAS or NDAS.
• You must learn the basic playing strategy for a double-deck game if you want to achieve the lowest house edges.
• Always check the playing rules before you sit and down and play, in particular that a blackjack pays 3-2.
• Your goal is to play a multi-deck game with a favorable mix of rules so that the house edge is 0.5% or lower. The lower the better.
• The mostly common shoe-deal blackjack game uses six-decks of cards. The house edge is rule dependent, with the best being S17, DAS, LS, and RSA, house edge only 0.26%.
• The eight-deck blackjack game has a slightly higher edge than a six-deck game with the same rules. The best eight-deck games have S17, DS, and LS (0.36%).
• A four-deck game is rare. The best rules are S17 and DAS (0.35% house edge).
• You must learn the basic playing strategy for a multi-deck game if you want to achieve the lowest house edges.
• Always check the playing rules before you sit and down and play, in particular that a blackjack pays 3-2.

1. False. The strategy in the tables and charts lists only the player’s two-card hand total or holding and, therefore, does not consider multi-card holdings or the composition of the cards in the hands. (See Chapter 4 for more on this.)
2. False. The mix of playing rules also affects the house edge.
3. False. All else equal, the house edge increases as the number of decks increases.
4. Player’s untied blackjack hand pays 6-5 (or worse, even money).

With the emergence of digital casinos, the game that attracted most players was blackjack – for various reasons. First and foremost, we all have a familiarity with the game, whether we’ve seen it in movies or played it ourselves. The second reason was that it’s a perfect balance of technical skills and a game of luck.

It’s not only popular in Europe (where it originated) or the USA (where it quickly found wide recognition). Now it’s played by thousands of players everywhere. So, it’s only natural that these players are turning to the internet for newfound strategies and variants they can employ to increase their chances of winning — or, just to shake things up a bit. One method that’s worth knowing about is the Double Deck blackjack strategy.

First, let’s go through all the rules for playing with this strategy and how it can change up an ordinary game of blackjack. Remember, it’s always useful to practice before bringing this to a blackjack table — digital or otherwise. Test it out on your own before you wager real money. This way, you can avoid making any mistakes that would have been brought about because of negligence and lack of expertise.

The Basic Blackjack Strategy

For quite a bit of the game’s history, there were no strategies; blackjack was played more similar to poker in regards to how players would guess their opponents’ next actions by analyzing possible moves.

However, the game evolved rather recently. This was due to a Las Vegas casino’s decision to switch up their blackjack rules. The deciding factor in doing so was to bring in new players and, thus, more potential revenue. These new rules require the dealer to only show one card out of the two dealt.

Furthermore, drawing can only be done under certain conditions. Due to these alterations, it is easier to predict the dealer’s actions. This turn of events certainly increased the game’s popularity, as strategies for analyzing the dealer’s actions became more widespread.

The basic strategy isn’t perfect, but the concept is very intuitive and easy to learn. The method is recommended for those players who are just learning how it works. It also fits those who do it for fun while minimizing their losses to a certain extent.

The basic strategy serves three things:

Blackjack Basic Strategy Chart Double Deck

1. Get the maximum win on each winning hand;
2. Get the least loss in the losing hands;
3. Turn a losing hand into a winning one.

After figuring out how to apply these rules consistently, it will be easier to move to more complex strategies. Getting better with the basics is an essential step to playing correctly in general. It is also essential if you want to learn the Double Deck blackjack strategy for card counting.

Blackjack strategy chart, useful for multiple blackjack variations, including the double deck.

Basic Strategy for Double Deck

Basic strategies have some minor differences depending on the variant being played. For example, you may be allowed to double after the split, while in other cases, you won’t be. Also, some variants are dealt with one deck (see single deck blackjack strategy) while others use multiple decks. The basic strategy is adjusted based on the variant in order to produce the best results.

The Double Deck blackjack basic strategy uses two decks of 52 cards each. They are shuffled together and dealt at the beginning of each hand.

Here, players cannot surrender. However, it is possible to purchase insurance if they believe the dealer is about to hit 21. Check out this table to see a detailed guide on your actions according to this technique:

The biggest benefit of using these tables is that they are completely straightforward. You simply need to check the value of your hand, see what the dealer holds, and refer back to the table. It will show which rules apply in a particular situation and you’ll know the next best action.

What Are the Most Generous Rules You Can Find?

Several conditions that leverage players’ winning chances for the better (if applied perfectly) include:

• It uses one or two decks (for our case, it’s two).
• Unlimited doubling is allowed.
• Players can re-divide aces and draw cards to them.
• The player always wins whenever they get six cards and stay under the limit.

If all of these conditions are met, and you apply the blackjack basic strategy for Double Deck, together, they would give you a significant advantage. Of course, casinos take these rules into account, so they try to compensate for them and keep the house edge. So, be prepared for high table limits in exchange for the house edge being reduced.

As for regular players who are not interested in counting cards, the number of cards has little effect on the results. But on the other hand, if you do count, the fewer decks there are, the easier your calculations will be.

How Does the Number of Decks Affect the House Edge?

Players who work with the blackjack Double Deck strategy often prefer to know what’s inside the dealer’s shoe. The main reason is that it helps them apply advanced strategies more effectively.

Rules and calculations start changing as soon as you include more cards. Unfortunately for players, it’s directly related to the increased house advantage. The biggest changes start when you play with 6 or 8 decks.

Card Counting in Multi-Deck games compared to one-deck games, even the two-deck version can make a big difference. Casino owners are aware of this fact, and they try to take advantage of it. While it’s really hard to outsmart the system, it’s not impossible. You just have to come up with a tried and tested way to increase your chances of success.

Multi-deck games, such as the Double Deck blackjack counting strategy, include a higher number of cards. Therefore, players need to calculate all the cards still in play. Keeping track of a few (one or two) decks is very different from having more of them in play at once. Sometimes it makes it harder to determine how many cards are left.

There are even casinos that put a cap on the shoe, thus preventing players from calculating. If you come across such a table and still want to test your skills, one possible way to calculate the number of cards is to multiply the number of hands, including the dealer’s, by 2.7 on each turn. However, you need to factor in the margin of error.

Also, if you participate in a two-card pocket game when the dealer has the cards in hand, it can be challenging. Therefore, in order to keep accurate live counts in multi-deck games, you need to see cards in the discard tray.

How to Learn New Strategies Quickly

Blackjack Strategy Chart Double Deck

The only way to master any game is to study and practice. One way to memorize strategies is to play online. Not only are there many specialized training programs, but there are numerous online casinos you can try out. Practice basic strategy and more advanced systems such as the blackjack strategy card counting for Double Deck.

These simulators and online platforms give you a great opportunity to practice different strategy options. You can check the possibility of modifying the strategy tables and play around different rule settings. This way, you will develop your unique playing style and leverage the game in a way that you personally.

Advantages of Online Casino

We are all familiar with traditional casinos. They have their own pros and cons, but what about the new digital versions of casinos? Here are the reasons why you should choose online platforms in favor of the outdated ones:

• Speed. The game progresses quickly, but the player still has enough time to decide how much to bet, how much to play, and anything else. The time limit is renewed whenever a card falls on the table, and players are generally given 10-15 seconds, which contributes to the excitement. The game takes place pretty fast, even when there are 6 players at the table.

• Comfort. In a ground casino, it is considered rude not to play a lot. The online casino is the opposite. You can stop the game whenever you want for any reason (answering your phone, having a bite to eat, talking to someone, etc.). Add the comfort of your favorite armchair in the living room, or even play from your bed.

• Live dealers. Trained dealers give you the same experience as a regular casino. They can address you by your name (an alias usually, though you have a choice) and they can also answer a comment or question, as it would be in real life.

Important Considerations about Online Casinos

To be fully transparent, we also want to point out a couple of drawbacks. While they may not necessarily make your experience worse- or, they may not even happen- you should still keep them in mind:

• Traffic issues. Especially in online casinos with few tables, you may need to wait for a gap to be able to play. Also, you need to have a stable Internet connection if you don’t want to get disconnected in the middle of the game.

• Risks of being scammed. Some are suspicious about online platforms and whether they can trust them. There are times when players complain about a dealer or other players and point out suspicious behavior. Some rare instances shouldn’t be your reason to stay away from casinos, but you should definitely do your research before going in.

Why Play Blackjack?

The main reason blackjack is popular with gamers everywhere is its simplicity. The easier it is to learn, the easier you can improve your technique. The fact that it offers the opportunity for immediate profit without much thought makes it even more liked.

We are not only talking about experienced players, but also non-professional players who are doing it primarily for fun with no desire to deal with calculations and mathematical sequences. Of course, there are devoted fans, but with the right strategy and a little skill, it can bring significant profits to any player. This can help take the house edge below 1%.

More Useful Tips to Ace the Game

You can never have enough advice on how to improve your tactics. We present several additional recommendations that the most experienced players follow:

• Remember that the dealer can win any card. Never be sure of yourself. You should learn when to surrender or use the insurance option – when you do not have a good hand and have placed a high stake.
• Even if we do not count cards, it is common for 5 to 6 small cards to go over the limit.
• When you are counting cards, and the number is negative, like -1, it would be best to raise the stakes a little higher as you are likely to get a blackjack or at least 20.
• Stay focused on your game. Always calculate your moves with the mindset that there is no room for error.
• Do not play with beginner players if you can. They don’t know when to split, double, pull, and other essential moves. It may sound harsh, but it is one of the most important tips.
• Always have enough money to play. Of course, it shouldn’t be the house rent money or your food budget. It means you should have enough money left over from your budget to play comfortably and without fear of going into financial troubles.

Even when applying the best blackjack strategy that will increase the chances of success, nothing is guaranteed. You may have a high hand, but the dealer might still beat you without you seeing it coming. Don’t back down; just bet the same amount on the next round and keep your temper. There are many times when players rise from unfortunate situations and start winning consistently.

Two Worst Mistakes Beginners Make

Continuing on the educational segment, we will also look at the key mistakes newbies make to help us become better. Remember that this game is more of a game of skill and experience, unlike many other casino games.

Of course, blackjack’s popularity is largely due to its rules that seem easy to understand to the general public. However, the difference between a good player and a bad one is knowing the basics and when it’s time to quit. Let’s look at these two main mistakes that bad players make:

1. Ignoring basic strategy. There are many ways to learn about the game from a professional perspective. For instance, you can use online articles, books, and videos. However, very few players are aware of the basic strategy, which is known to help in various situations. Those who haven’t dealt with some basic playing strategies don’t have a truly holistic view of the subject.
   
2. Not knowing when enough is enough. Let’s take a simple example. One player comes in every day with $100 and aims to make $300. If it reaches $300, they must stop. Suppose they go on and make $400, which means they reached $100 above the expected daily profits. But then comes the losing streak and their profit comes down to $300 again. This is the moment when they should accept what they have and not try to reach $400 in profits just because they could.
   

Start Practicing Today!

As was the case with the growth and spread of the Internet, it would be unreasonable to leave the gambling industry unchanged. Thousands of online casinos offer a range of services that the player can’t even find elsewhere.

The easiest way to learn the blackjack strategy for Double Deck is to play the game more often. Repeat the right moves until they become a habit. If you are a beginner, we suggest playing with smaller funds while you are still getting used to the strategy.
