Blackjack strategy charts

Each chart shows the best first decision for every two-card hand against the dealer's up card, for one of our blackjack variants. The rules differ between variants (number of decks, dealer rules, doubling, surrender, bonuses), so the right play differs too: pick the chart for the game you play.

The charts come from the solver behind the Hint button in our games. It treats the shoe as infinite (card odds do not change as cards are dealt), does not model re-splitting, and leaves out the 6-7-8 and 7-7-7 bonuses. That makes the charts a very close guide to best play rather than an exact figure, which is why our fairness page lists the main bet of these games as depending on your decisions. Our paper on the solver describes the model in full.
