If you're like most blackjack players, then you're the type of person who isn't just content with being decent at a game. Instead, you want to learn everything that there is to learn about a strategy until you master it. With Blackjack Surrender by Playtech, you'll have two main incentives for doing so. The first is that this is the blackjack game with the highest payout rate in any Playtech-powered online casino. Second, the strategies aren't exceptionally in-depth and difficult when compared to some of the more convoluted titles out there.

The main feature of this game is that you have the ability to use a late surrender meaning that you can surrender on any number of cards. However, this is largely a trap for a lot of players who will surrender entirely too often. To clarify, you should only surrender if you have a hard 16 against a nine, ten or ace. You should also surrender with a hard 15 against a ten only. Do not surrender a hard 15 against an ace or a nine. Once you understand this aspect of the game, then you can move forward to the more intricate parts of strategy.

We're going to cover a handful of different points to know about this game in no particular order. These points are how you should customize standard blackjack strategies specifically for this game. To begin with, you'll double hard nines when facing a three, four, five or six. You'll also double hard totals of ten when facing a nine or lower and hard totals of eleven when facing a ten or lower. For doubling with soft hands against a six or lower, you'll double when your total plus twice the size of the dealer's card is 23 or higher as long as you have an 18 or lower. Also, you'll hit a soft 18 against a nine or ten instead of standing.

For paired hands, things are pretty standard with a couple of changes. First, you're never going to split eights when you're facing a ten or ace. However, you're also not going to surrender. Instead, you will be hitting them. Along similar lines, you'll only split fours if you're against a five or six. Sevens should only be split against sevens or lower, and sixes should only be split against sixes or lower. Twos and threes are always split when facing any card seven or below.
