This game can also be called Double Exposure blackjack
Face Up 21 is another blackjack variant. In this game, the distinguishing feature is
that both of the dealer's cards are dealt face up. Obviously, this can give
the player a big advantage... No need to stand on 17 if you know the dealer has two
face cards!
But, there is a price to be paid. All ties, except blackjacks, are considered lost. There
are no push hands.
The game is typically played with 8 decks of cards. Doubling is allowed, but
only when your hand total is 9-11. You can split (up to 3 hands) and can double after splitting.
Realize that rules can vary from casino to casino, so look into it - and if you don't see the
answer, ask support.
The house edge on this game is about 1%, depending on specific rules at each casino - slightly more than standard blackjack.
