Is dealer's hole card an Ace? As per the Blackjack rules, dealer must check the hole card for an Ace if the first card is a 10 or face.

I think that's backwards. That's if the Ace card is showing.

I saw it in the show. The Ace showing offers an insurance bet, but the face card showing requires a check immediately, to prevent anyone doubling down on an automatic loss, I think.

[KuroiXHF]

Fair enough.

Dealer: There is no automatic blackjack. The hidden card is NOT an Ace.

[pablito]

Yeah casinos usually follow that rule. 10 showing is a quick check to end it right away. But that's interesting for this game because it robs the opportunity to use a power chip. I wouldn't have anyway.

[StrangerCoug]

Mod: The hand value column says I have a 13 but the cards say I have only a 12.

[KuroiXHF]

It's a typo.

[StrangerCoug]

Could you fix it, please?

[KuroiXHF]

Could you fix it, please?

Done. Sorry I didn't do it then. I was on mobile.

[yawetag]

hit me, then stand if I don't bust

[pablito]

I should bet negative fifty thousand to catch up to first place, right? Maybe I'll think more about what to do.

[KuroiXHF]

...persistent as always.

I'll change that.
