Understanding Microgaming Double Exposure Blackjack Online

Added: January 1, 2015

For new players who are somewhat in awe of online blackjack, there is an easier variant available at Australian online casinos. This has been developed by the software provider Microgaming and is called Double Exposure Blackjack. In this online blackjack variant both the dealer’s cards are dealt face up. Therefore you have more information available when you make your moves.

To compensate for this advantage blackjack will pay even money instead of 3 to 2. Some of the other rules also have been changed. The dealer wins all ties except for a tied blackjack. The player wins tied blackjacks. The dealer must hit on a soft 17. The game play of Microgaming Double Exposure Blackjack is similar to the normal online variant. Two cards are dealt to the dealer and two to the player. The difference is that all four are dealt face up. The player has the usual options of hit, stand, split and double. Since the dealer’s cards are face up, the insurance bet does not apply.

Microgaming has made it easier for you to play Double Exposure Blackjack. The optimum strategy is depicted on a strategy card that is available within the game. The column header is used for the dealer’s hand totals. First the dealer’s hard totals from 4 to 20 are displayed. Then the dealer’s soft totals from 12 to 17 are displayed. The row header is used for the player’s hand totals. The first section displays the player’s hard totals from 5 to 20. The second section displays the player’s soft totals from 13 to 20. The third section displays the pairs dealt to the player. Based on the cards dealt you can choose the appropriate row and column and follow the instruction in the cell at the intersection.

Microgaming makes things even easier for the player. To avoid toggling between the main screen and the strategy card for every move, you can enable the automatic use of the strategy card with the Auto Play feature. In the Auto Play set up box you can enter the number of deals to be played and the conditions required to stop the auto play, just as you do in Microgaming online pokies. Then the software will ensure that the Double Exposure Blackjack deals are played using optimum strategy. Some of the Australian Microgaming online casinos where you can play Double Exposure Blackjack are Casino Mate, Royal Vegas, Ruby Fortune and Spin Palace.
