Blackjack

6 to 5, 3 to 2, and 2 to 1 are the 3 most common pay ratios in the game of 21 a.k.a. Blackjack. This video will show you 2 simple methods on how to pay 6 to 5.

We only pay 6 to 5 whenever a player receives a blackjack (meaning an ace and any 10-value card in the FIRST 2 CARDS THE PLAYER RECEIVES). If a player creates a 21 and beats the dealer, or they win without getting a blackjack, they are only entitled to an even-money payment.

The most important thing to remember when paying 6 to 5 is:

- Every red the player bets will get a red and a white in return
- Every green the player bets will get a green and a red in return
- Every black the player bets will get a black and 4 red in return
- Every purple the player bets will get a purple and a black in return

Thinking about it in terms of how much money is each color the player bets is supposed to receive will typically yield a more professional and more concise payout. If you want to go that route, you need to remember the following:

- Every red gets $6 as payment
- Every green gets $30 as payment
- Every black gets $120 as payment
- Every purple gets $600 as payment

Either method you choose is fine as long as it makes sense to you and you will get the right answer without it taking you forever to get it.

Heeling a payment is the act of proving your payment before delivering it to the player's bet. As long as you clearly show the overhead cameras what you are paying and how much money is on the player's bet spot, you are fine to stack-up your payment and "heel" it off next to the player's bet.

However; if you didn't prove what you are going to pay on the shuffle-pad, they you must cut-out and/or size-in your payment to prove it.

Remember that speed comes in time and learning 6 to 5 for the first time is not easy for everyone. Just keep at it and it will work out eventually.
