The exception to this rule are Aces, which can only be split once and receive no more than one card per new hand. Splitting is limited to 3 times or a maximum of 4 hands at the time. Alternatively, players can double the bet on any two cards and the option is available even after the hand has been split. Players either draw an extra card or stand, unless they decide to split equal value cards, dividing then into separate hands. With one card facing down, the dealer must stand on all 17 hands and can peek for blackjack on Aces and 10 value upcards.
Played with 4 decks, Vegas Strip is a hole card game with a lot less restrictive Double down and Splitting rules. Thanks to Microgaming, the most commonly played blackjack variant, Vegas Strip, is now available online in both regular and gold edition.
