Golden amber color. Confected aromas of watermelon candies, candy corn, jasmine tea, taffy, and fresh pressed apple cider with a satiny, crisp, fruity light-to-medium body and a warming, medium-length pound cake with jam, butterscotch, and black pepper finish. A fruity and outgoing Bourbon with an autumnal vibe. Highly Recommended. Reviewed by: Beverage Testing Institute. Blackjack - There is no more whisky by aborrozakale. Pipbuck Technician. It's not just that we have no more whiskey. There is no more whiskey anywhere. The whiskey is gone, and it will always be gone.

Most visitors to casinos play blackjack or other games for entertainment and do not thoroughly study the games. While there is always a chance of winning in the short run, it has been said that the built-in casino advantage is the 'price of the entertainment' for the recreational player. But with the 6:5 short payoffs on blackjacks, the price is too high.

Let's assume you go to a movie once a month, and pay $8 for a ticket. Suddenly, the theatre increases its ticket price to $64. Would you still go to that theatre, when other similar theatres would charge you only $8? Or would you take your business to one of the $8 theatres? By playing single deck blackjack that pays only 6 to 5 on blackjacks, you are doing the same thing as patronizing the $64 theatre.

The casinos are taking advantage of the myth among casual blackjack players that 'single deck games always offer better odds for the players.' This is simply NOT true with the 6 to 5 game. Normal blackjacks pay 7 ½ to 5, or more commonly referred to as 3 to 2. The house advantage on a normal single deck game is 0.18%. The 6 to 5 game has a house advantage of 1.45%, more than eight times the advantage the casino has on a normal single deck game

This isn't merely a matter of shuffling incomprehensible numbers around. Stanford Wong, author of Professional Blackjack, explains: 'The math is easy. If the player gets paid 3:2 on a blackjack on a $10 bet, the player gets paid $15. If the player gets paid 6:5 on a $10 bet, he gets paid only $12 for a blackjack. That is a difference of $3, which might not seem like much. During a normal-speed blackjack game, the player averages five blackjacks per hour, meaning the player is shorted 1.5 bets per hour. In the case of a $10 bettor, he is being shorted $15 per hour!' (Las Vegas Weekly, 10/23/03)

UNLV professor Bill Thompson, who studies gaming issues, said, 'This is incredibly stupid. Everybody knows blackjacks pay 3:2. Unless they're giving out free bottles of whiskey to everyone who sits down at the table, I don't know why anybody would play this game.' (Las Vegas Sun, 11/13/03)

The house edge in a normal six-deck shoe is about 0.63%, much worse for the player than a normal single deck, but not nearly as bad as the single deck 6 to 5 ripoff game.


Continuous shuffling machines


These nasty devices require the dealer to insert the used cards from each round back into the machine, instead of using a discard tray as is normally done. The effect is that of playing against a virtually infinite deck. Every round is played 'off the top of the deck,' when there is a 100% chance that the unskilled player is at a disadvantage. Also, because there is never a break for shuffling, the machine increases the speed of the game by about 20%, so the typical player will lose 20% more money in the same amount of playing time or lose all of his or her money significantly more quickly.

Double Exposure Blackjack is like the traditional game with one major difference. Both dealer cards are exposed before the players act. This takes much of the strategy away as the player knows that hitting is the only choice if the dealer shows a winning hand.

There are still some tricks to learn, such as when to split and double down, as well as how to play low dealer hands. These can be quite different from the standard blackjack game.

Double Exposure Blackjack is most often found at online casinos. The game is spread by Microgaming, Playtech, and Real Time Gaming (RTG) sites. The game is called Face Up 21 at RTG online casinos.

It is difficult to find Double Exposure Blackjack at live casinos. All three casinos in Primm, Nevada, have tables for it, using the Face Up Blackjack title for the game.

The resorts are called Buffalo Bill's, Primm Valley Resort, and Whiskey Pete's. These games are rarely open there. The last installation of Double Exposure Blackjack in Las Vegas was at Riviera, which closed in 2015.

Differences Between Double Exposure Blackjack and the Traditional Game

There are several differences between Double Exposure Blackjack and the normal version of the game. The major one is that both dealer's hole cards are shown before players act. This makes several actions obvious. If the dealer has 20, the player needs to hit 19.

Another change is that the player loses all ties except when he is dealt a blackjack. The player always wins on blackjack. The payout for one is always even money, as opposed to the traditional game that pays 3-2.

Pairs may only be split one time in Double Exposure Blackjack.

The first step in playing Double Exposure Blackjack is to make a wager.

At an online casino, click on the preferred denomination of chips. Next, click the betting circle the desired number of times that equals the amount that you would like to wager. Once the bet is established, click the deal button.

At a live casino, simply place the chips that you would like to bet in the circle in front of you.

Cards are then dealt. Players have the option of hitting, standing, and doubling down. If a pair is dealt, split becomes an option. Players can hit until they bust with a hand over 22. Stand is the proper decision when you've beaten the dealer or think the house will bust.

Double down requires the player to double the original bet. This gives the hand one additional card and cannot be hit again. Most casinos only permit double down on 10 or 11 at Double Exposure Blackjack. There is no surrender in the game.

A split is permitted when the player is dealt a pair. Taking advantage of this feature requires an additional bet. The pair is split with one new card dealt to each. The hand continues as normal after this. Double down after splitting is not permitted in Double Exposure Blackjack.

Once all players have acted, the dealer's hand is evaluated.

  • If the house has 18 or higher, it stands
  • If the dealer has 16 or lower, it hits
  • If the dealer has soft 17, meaning an ace with the other cards totaling 6, it hits
  • If it has a hard 17, it stands

If the dealer beats the player, or there is a tie, the house wins all bets. If the player beats the dealer, all bets are paid even money.

Where to Play Double Exposure Blackjack

Microgaming, Playtech, and Real Time Gaming online casinos offer Double Exposure Blackjack.

All three live casinos in Primm, Nevada, offer the game as well. The properties are Buffalo Bill's, Primm Valley Resort, and Whiskey Pete's. This resort town is on the border of Nevada and California south of Las Vegas.

These live casinos do NOT regularly open these tables.

We recommend Real Time Gaming online casinos for US players. Those outside the US will probably enjoy the Microgaming software over the Playtech one, but that's ultimately a matter of personal preference.

Summary

Double Exposure Blackjack is one of the worst versions of 21 spread. Its return is sometimes even lower than a 6:5 table as the house edge is typically around 1.5%. This gets higher if the player does not know the proper strategy, as it is nothing like a standard blackjack game.

Making constant mistakes can bring the house edge above 5%. For this reason, we recommend trying other blackjack games. All casinos will spread a better game than this.
