Our advice is to learn this chart, then move on to learning card counting and the blackjack deviations associated with the game you will be playing (H17 vs S17). There are also slight variations in strategy when you play a 6 deck game versus a single deck game. Rather than teach you 9 different basic strategy charts for each variant of. The Perfect Pairs side bet allows gamblers to stake on the possibility of the first cards that they are dealt being the same. 21+3, on the other hand, is based on the first two cards the player receives and the one for the dealer. If the three cards combine to create Three of a. The goal of blackjack is to beat the dealer’s hand without going over 21. Before cards are dealt, players place their bets. Each player starts with two cards that are face up. Face cards are worth 10.

How many is the most number of cards a dealer can receive in any one black jack game

The others have answered, but they may not have explained the why.
The dealer must hit on all 16's. So, the answer is, however many cards it takes to make 16, plus 1.
In S17, the most cards you can make 16 with are A,A,A,A,A,A,6,A,A,A,A. Dealer must hit, but only 1 more time - answer is 12. To do this, there need to be at least 3 decks in play.
In H17, the most cards you can make 16 with are A,A,A,A,A,A,A,5,A,A,A,A. Dealer must hit, but only 1 more time - answer is 13. Again, minimum of 3 decks in play.
Note that a player could have a larger hand, since they're not obligated to stand on 17/18/19/20. It wouldn't be any kind of recommended strategy (they should have split the opening pair of aces), but it's possible for a player to just keep drawing until they make 21 or bust.
If you ever see any of these hands come out for the dealer, leave the table. The ace supply is woefully depleted, and it's unlikely that you'll be getting many blackjacks until the shuffle.

May the cards fall in your favor.

I think the worst I've personally seen was a 9 card 21.
There were a few upset players, and a few players who insisted on staying in until the count fell.

May the cards fall in your favor.

Technically in the UK you don't split Aces vs Ace or Ten; also you hit soft 18. Thus you could get AAAAAAAA (18) 4AAAA(16) any = 14 cards.
Strangely today I saw six jacks as the only hands. There's a sidebet that pays 35/1 for trips (your two and dealer's) but the player, who was playing both hands, only had done the '21+3'. It's sad but recently it seems more people play the high risk sidebets and don't care much about the Blackjack result.

Hi Doc,
I forgot to mention that 6 or 8 decks would be the maximum number of decks used. Despite the fact that I did not mention the number of decks, I still don't think I have a good answer from anyone on the forum.
Well let me just rephrase the question to just one situation where the dealer hits soft 17. Suppose a Black Jack game is being played with 8 decks. You are at a Casino in Las Vegas, and the dealer hit's soft seventeen. How many is the max number of cards the dealer can be dealt.
Here is my answer, and I hope you or someone else can correct me if I am wrong. Answer : the maximum number of cards would be 9, because if the first two cards are Aces, the dealer must count one of them as a 12
A, A, A, A, A, A, A = 18

And, if no one has mentioned it, on S17 you could have a 13 card 21. (Just saw that Miplet referred to it.)

I don't see how that could happen.

That's not true. An ace is either 1 or 11 so the answer is 13 cards for H17 and 12 cards for S17. Your example is showing a soft 17.

AxelWolf

It depends on what sequence the cards come out. just look at this 2 2 2 2 2 2=12 A must now =1 then comes 2 A A =17
That's 10 cards and standing on 17
That's not even the most cards you can get.

Edit: For a single deck, 22223AAAA(3-6) in that order, is a 10 card hand.

The dealer is not required to count the first 2 cards as 12. They can, but say they hit and got a face card. They haven't busted; they still have 12 with the aces now each worth 1. If, on the other hand they hit their aces and got a 9, then they have 21, not 11.

If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

The blackjack in downtown Las Vegas tends to be better than on the Strip for low limit players. The percentage of 6-5 tables is much lower, with several houses offering no such game at all. High limit players may want to play elsewhere as there are no stand on all 17 tables located anywhere near Fremont Street.
