Question

Is there a maxium amount of cards a dealer can get in black jack?

Cause the player can only get 5 cards so is this true with the dealer?

Answer 1

Ya... that's   'ol  poo.. there is no limit on the number of cards a dealer or player can get.. Some places like in Spanish 21  if you get 5 cards under 21   there is a bonus...!!

Answer 2

<<<Is there a maxium amount of cards a dealer can get in black jack?>>>

Using common rules, the most cards a dealer could get would be in a multideck game. The dealer could get

2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - A - A - A - A  - any

for 11 cards.

<<<Cause the player can only get 5 cards so is this true with the dealer?>>>

The only times I have seen a limit of five cards to a player is in games that include the "five card charlie" rule. That rule indicates that a player's hand with five cards that does not bust automatically wins against anything but a dealer's blackjack. I have only seen that rule in games that have some other rule that is really bad for the player, such as the dealer wins all ties.

Answer 3

The player can get as many cards as they want.  No casino anywhere has the 5 card charlie rule in effect.

I've been a blackjack (casino) dealer for 10 years.

Answer 4

There is no maximum amount of cards for the player or dealer.  The dealer keeps pulling until they get a hard 17 (or soft depending on the casino) or above.  Players can keep pulling until they decide to stop or bust out.

Answer 5

I don't think they have a maximum amount. All I know is they keep going till they get to at least 17 or till they bust

Answer 6

In some casinos, the dealer must stop drawing cards after a number set forth by the casino like 5 or 6 cards, this is an uncommon rule, but it does exhist in some locations.

The rule is beneficial to the player by a very tiny amount.

I have never heard of a limit to the number of cards a player can draw, if there was a limit it would be a disadvantage unless there was some kind of payout for drawing 5 cards and not busting.  You may be confusing this beleif with the again somewhat uncommon rule where a 5 or 6 card **21** pays a certain amount.  There is no limit to how many cards the player can draw in any casino i have ever seen or heard about.
