Blackjack

No-Peek blackjack or No-Peek 21 is a game that seems to be getting replaced with a different blackjack variant called "Free Bet Blackjack". Fortunately, because of this, the likelihood you will have to deal this version of blackjack is low but still good to know just in case.

The biggest take-away you need to be aware of for this version of blackjack is this: - The dealer will NEVER peek to see if they have a blackjack - The dealer will NEVER offer insurance unless your house rules differ - We pay player's blackjacks only during the take & pay - If the dealer doesn't have a blackjack, take & pay is normal - If the dealer has blackjack, we only take the ORIGINAL BETS - If a player surrenders, put half of their bet on their cards - lock up the rest

If you can commit these rules to memory, you will have no problem dealing No-Peek Blackjack for any casino.

If you are wondering about the reason Erika placed the double-down cards in this lesson 2 different ways, it was simply to show that there are 2 different ways of doing double-downs on a handheld game. Both versions are correct; just be sure to stay consistent throughout your deal with whichever version you choose while staying within your house rules standard operating procedures.
