    Dealer receives one card vs two

    Im not much of a gambler and I rarely visit casinos, but Im interested in the maths and strategies that vary with different rules in different casinos


    In some (all ?) Australian casinos, the dealer gets one card at the beginning.
    Ive noticed that in USA casinos that I have visited the dealer gets two cards at the beginning


    How would this change your basic strategy compared to the dealer getting two cards ?


    With the difference being the next card will either go to you depending on whether you hit or stand - that might change the strategy that you use.


    What do you think ?

    The only difference would be how dealer blackjacks are handled after you've doubled, split or both. If only the original bet loses, I believe no changes are made. If all bets lose, then you're less likely to do those options against a dealers 10 or ace. Look up "European No Hole Card" for more information.
