How to play Blackjack Switch

There are two hands in the game. To place a bet, the player can use chips with values ranging from 1 to 100 credits. You can bet on any of the two hands winning. The game also features a side bet: Super Match. It covers the following game situations:

  • Pair
  • Three of a kind.
  • Two pairs.
  • Four of a kind.

Having placed the chips, the player gains access to an additional menu. The x2 button doubles your bet. The Clear Bets button allows the user to remove all chips from the playing field. The dealing starts once the player hits the Deal button, after which both the dealer and the player get two cards for each active hand. Four additional buttons appear on the right side of the screen:

  • x2 – double the bet.
  • Switch – trade the top cards between your hands.
  • Hit – draw an additional card.
  • Stand – leave the combination unchanged.

If your hand has two cards of the same value, you can use the Split button to divide it into two different combinations. The winner is the game participant who scores 21 points or a lesser amount as close as possible to this value. Any number of points higher than 21 means losing a bet. Points in blackjack are calculated in the following way:

  • 2-10 are counted at their face value.
  • Jack, Queen, King – 10 points.
  • Ace – 1 or 11 points.

In case there is an ace on the hand, the total sum of points is calculated based on which of its two values is more beneficial to the player. Once the game round is completed, the user can repeat their previous bets by clicking Rebet or Rebet and Deal.

Table layout and payments

The Blackjack Switch game has a classic layout. The playing field imitates a table covered with green cloth and framed by wooden boards. In the upper right part, there is a plate with limits.

How to win at Blackjack Switch

From the start, the Blackjack Switch game provides the user with a high chance of winning. The theoretical Return-To-Player rate is over 99%! If you are dealt a pair, splitting it is not recommended as it is a winning combination in itself thanks to the Super Match side bet. If the dealer’s face-up card is 2, 3, or 4, the player should draw additional cards up to 12 points. The player should double if the dealer’s card is 5 or 6. Finally, if the virtual opponent has a stronger combination, the player is advised to draw cards up to 17 points.
