In its essence, Blackjack Plus is similar to Blackjack, which makes these two titles the most popular table games around the world. Anyone who has played classic Blackjack at least once will enjoy Blackjack Plus and have no difficulty figuring out the rules of it. Without further ado, let’s see how to play Blackjack Plus and how it differs from the original version of the famous game.

How to Play Blackjack Plus

Blackjack Plus is played with six classic decks, each of which consists of 52 playing cards. Basic rules of the game are exactly like those in the original Blackjack variation, but there are a few differences.

1. The dealer hits on soft 17.
2. Players are not allowed to re-split.
3. Blackjacks, non-busted five-card hands, and 21-point hands win automatically, even if the dealer is likely to have a blackjack.
4. When the player has split the cards, they may double.
5. If Aces are split, they only get one card.
6. The payout for blackjacks is 1:1.
7. In the situation when a player stands with a non-blackjack hand and the dealer has a blackjack, the player loses Original and Busted Bets Only, which is known as the OBBO rule. OBBO include the original wager set at the beginning of the game and all the other wagers lost because of the player splitting and busting.

There are two versions of Blackjack Plus: the version described above was invented in New Zealand, while the other one was created in Australia. One can find the Australian rules for Blackjack plus in the FAQ section on this page.

The house edge in Blackjack Plus is particularly high at 6.36%, considering that most blackjack variations’ house edges are not higher than 1%.
