Double Exposure Blackjack is a game using 8 normal decks of 52 cards.
The cards are subjected to shuffling at the beginning of each hand. In Double
Exposure Blackjack the dealer is forced to hit on soft 17, and blackjack
beats any hand with a 21. A player's blackjack always beats the dealer's blackjack,
but the dealer wins all other tied hands.

Double Exposure Blackjack Rules
Splitting Rules
If you have a pair of Aces and you choose to split them and then are dealt
a 10 value card, this does not not give you a Blackjack, only a standard 21.
You can Split a maximum 3 times, which will give you 4 hands
You can re-split Aces
If you choose to Split your Aces, you may only receive one further card
to each and then you are forced to Stand
Double Down Rules
Doubling Down is allowed after receipt of your initial two cards, but only
if they add up to 9, 10 or 11.
The Double Down bet is equivalent to your initial hand bet
You are allowed to Double Down after you have Split
If you have been dealt a Blackjack you are not allowed to Double Down
Insurance Rules
Insurance is not applicable to the additional hands created by Splitting, or
by Doubling Down. You receive 2:1 odds on your Insurance bet. If the Dealer
ends up not getting a Blackjack, the Insurance bet value is forfeited.
