Blackjack on Carnival Question

Recommended Posts

What are the rules for BJ dealers on Carnival? (Miracle). Is it traditional (ie.Dealer stays on S17; Double Down Allowed on Split Cards; Double Down on Any Cards; One Hit on Split Aces; No surrendors Allowed.) or is it different? And how many decks are used?

Thanks!

The rules are exactly what you stated. They play with an 8 card shoe and don't cut it very deep. They do have a game called Fun 21 (think Spanish 21), where the Queens are removed, dealer hits all 17's, all 21's pay immediately (not just blackjacks), and surrendering is an option. IMHO, it's difficult to play this game because most people play it like regular blackjack, however, the dealer will bust less frequently because of the Queens being removed.

Sounds good.....I'll think I'll take a small strategy card with me to help out on the few combination I can never seem to remember.

So the FUN 21 has exctly the same rules as Spanish 21 (just queens out instead of 10s?)
