Buster Blackjack
is another form of blackjack with what is called a “Buster” side bet. This bet allows you to win based on the
number of cards in a dealers busted hand.
You play your hand like traditional blackjack but you are hoping that
the dealer busts. The more cards that
the dealer busts with the more you win.
The rules of the
game are as follows: The buster bet must be made along with your blackjack bet
before any cards are dealt. I made this
mistake and it cost me almost $500. So this
is very important! Each player receives two cards. The sealer also receives two cards, one up
and one card down. Each player has the
stand on his hat or hit his hand. After
each player stands the dealer reveals his hole card. If the dealer has 17 or more, he stands, 16
or less he hits his hand until it totals 17 or more. As in most blackjack games the dealer must
hit soft 17. If the player card total is
closer to 21 than the dealer’s the player wins his blackjack bet. Of course if it is less than the dealer's hand
the player would lose the blackjack hand.
If the player’s cards total up to the same amount as the dealers it is neither
a win nor a loss but a push, which is another word for a tie. If the player busts or go over a total of 21
if he bet on the buster side bet it still remains in action. Your buster bet may not exceed your blackjack
bet.
The payment is
as follows on the buster bet:
2 cards 2 to 1
3 cards 2 to 1
4 cards 4 to 1
5 cards 5 to 1
6 cards 16 to 1
7 cards 50 to 1
8 cards are more
250 to 1
With this game
you can win lots of money in a short period of time but be careful because you
can lose it just as fast.
