Single Deck Blackjack Rules
Now as you may have guessed Single Deck Blackjack utilizes just one full deck of playing cards and the game is a Hole Card Game, so expect the dealer to check for Blackjack when he is showing an Ace or a Ten.
The Dealer is forced via the rules of the game to always Hit a Soft 17.
You can Double Down but only if you have a 9, 10, or 11, and you may not Double Down after a Split. You can only Split a hand once and therefore you will be playing two separate hand should you choose this option.
Splitting a pair of Aces will mean that only one card will be dealt to each Ace, and should you get any Ten valued card dealt to either or both Aces then it will be classed not as a Blackjack but simply as a 21.
