I got 21 when playing blackjack and so did the dealer. Why didn't I win?
Wondering why a tie at 21 didn't go your way? You're playing Single Deck Blackjack — a popular twist on the classic game, also known as "European No-Hole Card" Blackjack — and it follows a few rules that work a little differently. Below, we'll break down what sets it apart and what it means for your bets.
Please note, this information applies only to regions where casino games are available.
How Single Deck Blackjack Differs from Classic Blackjack
The main difference is in the deal. In Single Deck Blackjack, the dealer receives only one card at the start of the round, rather than two.
What Happens If the Dealer Gets Blackjack
If the dealer draws a Blackjack later in the round, all player bets will lose, except for a player's own Blackjack. This applies to regular bets, double downs, and split hands.
Does This Apply to Other Versions?
Yes. The same rule also applies to Multi-Hand Blackjack.
