FAQs
Is Blackjack Switch better than regular blackjack?
With two hands and the ability to switch cards, Blackjack Switch offers more excitement than traditional blackjack. However, the payouts are lower and a hand of 22 is a push, meaning a player’s odds of winning at blackjack are smaller.
How do you play Blackjack Switch?
Blackjack Switch has only a few differences from regular blackjack. You play two hands simultaneously, and have the option to switch your top two cards. The gameplay follows traditional blackjack rules, with two exceptions. A 22 is considered a push, even if a player has 21. Blackjack payouts are 1:1 as you can switch cards to increase your chances of hitting 21.
