Blackjack is an integral part of the casino repertoire, and a favorite of many players. Hundreds of books are written about Blackjack. From its origins in 18th century France to its current embodiment in places such as Atlantic City and Las Vegas, Blackjack continues to be one of the most highly regarded of card games.
 

Blackjack Switch is based on the ordinary Blackjack game. It features slight but very important changes from Blackjack rules which are necessary to understand Blackjack Switch.
 

In Blackjack Switch you have two hands under your control. Both hands have their own betting pocket. Initially you must wager equal bets on both hands. There is also a special "super match" betting pocket. The super match bets win when your initial four cards contain two or more matching cards. Note that the odds for "super match" bets are written on the table.
 

You play both hands separately, before the dealer. Each hand can hit, stand and double. Before you make the first move you may perform a switch between hands: exchanging the two top cards of both hands.
 

Another difference from regular Blackjack is that in Switch dealer always plays the "soft 17" rule, e.g. the dealer must always draw additional card when he has 17 with an ace.
 

If dealer draws 22 its considered a push and bets are returned unless the player has blackjack in which case the player wins.
