Backwards Blackjack

it's backwards — because the dealer finishes first!


never hit those 15's & 16's again before knowing if the dealer has a made hand

let the dealer risk busting, before you

feel confident at the table without memorizing basic strategy

know exactly what you need to beat, before taking a hit

new surrender options that return 100% of original bet

doubling and splitting allowed, just like traditional rules

play at the same table with traditional BJ players, against the same dealer

stick to one ruleset, or alternate between hands


What are the rules?

All hitting & standing happens after the dealer has finished
Just 3 simple rule changes to player hands:
• Aces Always = 11
• Ties Lose
• Hands Must Exceed 13
