Blackjack Quiz Answers: 1) B. The objective is not to get as close to 21 as possible, but to beat the dealer. It’s very possible to win with a 13 or 14 count and a Dealer Bust. 2) C. The best tables are: Dealer Must Draw to 16 and Stand on All 17’s, use a single deck, have no restrictions on doubling down, allow re-splitting, and have a surrender option available. 3) C. Includes an Ace. This hand has two values, depending on whether you use the ace as 1 or 11. Therefore, a 5 and an ace could be 6 or 16. 4) A. Player surrenders after receiving first two cards and loses only half their original bet. An early surrender when the player forfeits his or her hand before the dealer checks for a 21 is the best surrender option. 5) B. When the dealer shows a 2 through 9. Note: You get one card only if you double down. 6) B. Never Split 4’s, 5’s and 10’s. Some additional strategies: 2’s, 3’s, 6’s, 7’s—Split on 2 through 7 Dealer Upcard. Always Split 8’s and Aces. 7) A. True Count is 0 for 7, 8 or 9 while 2-6 = +1 and 10, Face and Aces = -1 for multiple decks. 8) B. Dealer will bust about once every 4 hands played (28%). Players will be dealt a blackjack about once every 21 hands and lose more often than win when dealt an 18. 9) B. Pays 3-2 because paying 6-5 is far worse. Also, avoid any table that uses a continuous shuffling machine as the cards after each round are returned to the shuffler. 10) C. When first two cards dealt are an ace and a ten.
