Big Five Blackjack
- In Big five blackjack, the dealer will have to hit on soft 17.

- The aces can be split just once and an extra card would be dealt before the player will have to stand.
- Also, a split ace along with a ten will not be counted as a blackjack but simply as 21.
- Players can also re-split up to three times to make four hands.
- Players can double down on their first two cards only. The bet in that case would be equal to half of the original bet.
- Doubling after a split is allowed but not in case of a blackjack.
- Players can place an insurance bet on the first hand but not after doubling down or splitting when the dealer has an ace. If the dealer has a blackjack the payout would be 2 to 1 but the bet would be lost if the dealer does not have insurance.
