Double Exposure (3 Decks)

Double Exposure is a blackjack variation in which both dealer cards are exposed.

• Dealer hits soft 17's
• Double down is allowed if the first two cards have a hard count of 9, 10 or 11.
• No doubling is allowed after splitting cards.
• Splits allowed up to 4 hands.
• Surrender and insurance are not available.
• The decks are shuffled after each round.

To compensate the player's advantage because of the second up card, there are the following rules changes:

• Blackjack pays 1:1.
• Player wins Blackjack ties, dealer wins all other ties.

Basic Strategy

Depending on the player's cards and the dealer's card there is an ideal strategy which gives the player the best results. To use this so-called basic strategy, look up your hand along the left column and the dealer's up card on the horizontal row. Where the row and column intersect you will find the correct decision for the given situation.
