Play as a dealer in this unique Blackjack variant: Chinese Blackjack

In South East Asia it is extremely popular during the Chinese New Year and can be found in many casinos. Chinese Blackjack is also known as 21-point, Ban-Nag, Ban Luck or Ban-Luk depending on the various localities where the game is found.

The resemblance of Chinese Blackjack to standard blackjack is very evident in the basic rules of the game and how the cards are dealt. Beyond this basic similarity, however, are several key differences which make Chinese Blackjack a fun and challenging betting game.

Chinese Blackjack Rules and How to Play

While many of the Chinese Blackjack rules are the same as those adhered to in standard versions of blackjack, there are also differences which make this particular variation unique. Chinese Blackjack features its own winning combinations, those being ban-ban, ban-nag, free hand and 5-Dragon.

A player holding two Aces has a ban-ban, which pays out 3:1, unless the dealer has a ban-ban. This results in a push.

A player holding an Ace and a card with a value of 10 has a ban-nag, which pays out 2:1. If the dealer has a ban-nag, he beats out all hands, except a ban-ban.

A player holding a total of 15 has a free hand. This allows the player to continue or stop playing that hand. The same rule applies to the dealer. If the dealer chooses to stop playing, the hand ends and the dealer re-shuffles the cards.

If the player holds five cards without busting, he has a 5-Dragon. He is paid out 2:1, unless he has a total of 21, in which case he receives 3:1. If the dealer holds a 5-Dragon without busting, all players must double their initial bet and pay him. If the dealer holds five cards with a total of 21, players triple their initial bet and pay him.

Everything else in Chinese Blackjack is played the same as a standard version of the game.

Difference Between Chinese Blackjack and Traditional Blackjack

Obviously, the main difference between the two versions of Blackjack are the winning combinations included in the Chinese version. It’s important to note that the value of the Ace changes depending upon how many cards the player holds in Chinese Blackjack. If they hold two cards, an Ace is counted as 10 or 11. If they hold three cards, Aces can be counted as 1 or 10. With four or more cards, an Ace will only count as 1.

However, one further difference states that if the dealer holds a total of 16-20 from his initially dealt cards, he may reveal a certain number of player hands before deciding if he should hit or stand. If the dealer busts, all players are paid even money on their hands. If the dealer reaches a total of 21 without busting, the dealer wins.
