There are several rules floating around out there.


1. Some say you can only "double up" with 2 cards, but if you have a 7,4 against a 6, obviously you're going to double down, but you're not going to "double up". Now, suppose you receive a 10, totaling 21, can you "double up" now?

2. If you split a pair of aces and receive a 10 on each one, can you "double up"? I understand that you can.

3. There's another rule that says you can hit until you get, for example, 20 or 21 and then "double up". In this case, there are more than 2 cards, similarly to the case of double down. Is this true or false?

4. "Double up" bets always have to be equal to (or less than) the initial bet. That's clear, but what about bonus-16 bets? Can you bet more than the initial bet?
5. Does the dealer peek at the hole card when he has a ten?

Thanks again.

Sincerely,

1. No. You can only "Double Up" with 2 cards. If you "Double Up" you effectively have to stand. It is basically like doubling down, but instead of taking 1 card, you get 0 cards.

2. Yes, you can place the "Double Up" bet on one or both of the Aces after a split.

3. False at my casino at least. You can only "Double Up" on two cards.

4. Yes, I believe the Bonus-16 bet (which pays when the dealer gets 16) can be higher than the initial bet. However, this bet must be placed before any cards are dealt.

5. Yes
