The five playable profiles
| Profile | Core rules | Dealer procedure | Player options |
|---|---|---|---|
| Practice Classic | 1 deck · 3:2 · S17 · reshuffle every round | US peek | Double any first two · DAS · late surrender · split to 2 hands |
| US 3:2 | 8 decks · 3:2 · S17 · 75% shoe | US peek | Double any first two · DAS · late surrender · split to 4 hands |
| US Value 6:5 | 6 decks · 6:5 · H17 · 75% shoe | US peek | Double any first two · DAS · no surrender · split to 4 hands |
| Continental ENHC | 6 decks · 3:2 · S17 · 75% shoe | No hole card; all added bets lose to dealer Blackjack | Double 9–11 · DAS · no surrender · split to 4 hands |
| Macau-Inspired OBBO | 6 decks · 3:2 · H17 · 75% shoe | No hole card; original-and-busted-bets-only protection | Double any first two · DAS · early surrender except vs Ace · split to 5 hands |
All five use simulation credits. The shoe depth, bankroll, and wager buttons are explicit practice settings; they are not claims that every casino in a region uses the same values.
What the differences actually mean
3:2 versus 6:5
This is the payoff for a natural Blackjack. A 10-credit natural wins 15 credits at 3:2 but only 12 credits at 6:5. The lower payout changes the value of the table before any hit, stand, double, or split decision is made.
S17 versus H17
S17 means the dealer stands on soft 17; H17 means the dealer hits it. Because the dealer’s completion rule changes, a decision matrix validated for one table should not silently be presented as exact for the other.
Peek, ENHC, and OBBO
With US peek, the dealer checks for Blackjack before players make additional bets when the upcard permits it. Under the Continental profile’s no-hole-card procedure, the dealer takes the second card later, and split or double money can also be lost to a dealer Blackjack. The Macau-inspired profile uses a different protection: original and already-busted bets are at risk, while qualifying added split and double wagers are protected.
Why this matters: two tables can both advertise 3:2 and six decks while still treating the money added after the initial wager very differently.
Splitting and surrender
The profiles also differ on same-rank versus same-value splits, the hand cap, resplitting Aces, and surrender timing. DeciDojo takes these rules from the selected profile when it settles the hand; it does not treat them as decorative labels.
Which profile should you practise?
- Start with Practice Classic if you want short, independent hands and the clearest introduction to feedback.
- Use US 3:2 for a representative multi-deck, S17, peek-and-surrender environment.
- Use US Value 6:5 to see the cost of a reduced natural payout alongside H17 and no surrender.
- Use Continental ENHC to practise the added-bet exposure created by its no-hole-card rule.
- Use Macau-Inspired OBBO for a different no-hole-card settlement and broader split/surrender options.
Put the comparison into practice
Open Blackjack, choose a table on the start screen, and use the Rules view before the first wager. The active rules stay tied to that session.
Sources, verification, and limits
The US 3:2 profile is anchored to the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement rules. The Continental profile uses Spain’s published Blackjack rules. The Macau-inspired profile uses the Macao DICJ rules. Operator guides support the representative US 6:5 profile.
A published rule can permit several options without proving that every current table combines them. DeciDojo therefore labels combined deck counts, penetration, bankroll, and wager values as simulation settings rather than attributing the entire profile to a named venue.
