Basic Progressive Blackjack Strategy Table:

It is very important to remember that during this Progressive Blackjack game the counting of cards will not help you win hands or beat the Dealer because play involves using at total of eight standard card decks. You must decide what you next play will be using three pieces of information: your two face up cards and the dealer's one face up card. On the other hand the Dealer, or computer, uses the same information to determine the likelihood of you producing a winning outcome through statistical analysis.

The following rules will apply for Progressive Blackjack:

1. Each hand will be played with a total of 8 standard card decks

2. Cards will be shuffled after play

3. The Dealer must stand on all 17's

4. You may double down once hands have been split

5. You may only split a hand once; there will be no re-splitting

6. Surrender is not an option

7. Each split Ace is only eligible for one extra card

Basic strategy is usually printed as tables with the dealer's up card the first row and your two-card combination the first column. The other entries in the table tell you what to do (Stand, Hit, Double-Down, Split) with the different combinations of dealer and player's hands. Basic Blackjack strategy tables for Playboy Casino rules (8 decks, dealer stands on 17, double-down on any two cards, double after split allowed, no re-splitting of cards allowed, no surrender) are shown below for hard totals, soft totals, and pairs along with a legend.

Legend:

S - Stand

H - Hit
