Double 4 More Blackjack

Have you heard of Double 4 More Blackjack?

In exchange for a dealer's 22 only paying 1:2, you have the ability to quadruple your bet.

This game was made by a forum member who runs House Way Gaming, and I really like it so tonight I quickly added it to my website where you can play it (or you can play at the FireKeepers Casino in real life).

I was given the basic strategy if anyone is interested in seeing it or hopefully putting it on the Wizard of Odds website. If not I can invest some time to include it in my Table Game Optimal Strategy Database :)

I like it! That's exactly the kind of game that I like to monkey around with. That you can double on any number of cards is a significant detail.

I tried the demo on the House Way site and it has the dealer standing on soft 17. At least it did do when the dealer was dealt A-6. It also let me draw to split aces and I don't know if that is part of the intended game rules.

Considering that it says "dealer must hit soft 17" in the game, I assume it is a glitch. I assume the split aces is a glitch too but I could be wrong.

On the version on my website, you cannot do hit on split aces and the dealer hits soft 17.

I'm playing yours now. Nice and smooth!

Do you realize you have surrender available? Surrender would be a great modification to this game! It will enhance player engagement while increasing hold, especially with unfamiliar rules and strategies. Hopefully surrender will be available when it hits the tables.

Ooohhh, look what I made it do! I hacked your game! Unlimited profit! All your base are belong to us!

The game has hit the tables but I am unsure as to whether surrender is available or optional.
Perhaps it is up to the individual casino owners or pitbosses to decide that, rather than it being a hard-coded game rule.

I will now elaborate on the basic strategy from what I have been given

Section I: Hard
8-: Hit
9: Hit, but Double against 4-6
10: Double, but Hit against 10/A
11: Double
12: Hit, but Stand against 5/6
13: Hit, but Stand against 3-6
14-16: Hit, but Stand against 2-6
17+: Stand

Section II: Soft
12-14: Hit
15-16: Hit, but Double against 6
17: Hit, but Double against 5-6
18: Stand against 2/7/8, Double against 3-6, and Hit against 9/10/Ace
19-21: Stand, but Double against 3-6

Section III: Pairs
2: Split, but Hit against 9/10/Ace
3: Split, but Hit against 2/9/10/Ace
4: Hit, but Split against 3-6
5: Double, but Hit against 10/Ace
6: Split, but Hit against 8/9/10/Ace
7: Split, but Hit against 9/10/Ace
8: Split, but Hit against Ace
9: Split, but Stand against 10/Ace
10: Stand
Ace: Split

Edit: By "Double" I really mean "Quadruple"

There are a lot of ways to "hack" the website. Just go into the inspect element and edit the "newdeck" variable to give yourself a royal flush lol.

But that's not what I did. Check your game flow. When you double-quadruple down it doesn't decrement the player's bank. Just magic free money added to the bet.

Bruh moment...
Tripling and quadrupling weren't costing the player money, but I just added two lines of code to fix that ;)

Aw, I liked it better the other way!

So where is this being dealt now?

Right now this game is only played at the FireKeepers casino, but I think there might be more placements coming soon. I was told that this game replaced Big Bet Blackjack there.
