Dear
Mark,
I played a game called Bayou BlackJack in Louisiana
where the dealer shows both of his cards before you
take your first hit. Do you know where this game is
played in Las Vegas? Hal G.
A
place you don’t want to be. Also called Double
Exposure blackjack, this is yet another variation of
blackjack in which the rule changes are not always in
the player’s best interest. The biggest modification
from conventional blackjack is that both the dealer
cards are dealt face-up. However, because you view both
of the dealer’s
up-cards, the playing
rules are adjusted to favor the casino more than
standard blackjack. This includes paying blackjacks
at even money, doubling down permitted only on 9,
10, 11; and insurance, re-splits and surrender are
not allowed. Also, all tie hands result in a loss
with the exception of a player’s blackjack.
It beats a dealer’s snapper.
Because of these rule changes, Hal, Bayou Blackjack
is not as auspicious as traditional casino blackjack.
It’s a game worth avoiding.
