How to Play Blackjack Baseball
Blackjack Baseball combines traditional blackjack gameplay with the structure of a baseball game. Each inning is divided into two halves: the top half, when you are at bat, and the bottom half, when you are pitching. The aim is to beat the dealer by running bases on offense and striking out the dealer on defense. Try out a 3-inning game to see how your card skills translate to the baseball diamond!
Blackjack Baseball Scoring Explained
Blackjack Baseball is dealt from a realistic, multi-deck shoe. For more details on the scoring and rules, see below.
Offense: You're at Bat
During the top half of the inning, your final blackjack hand determines what happens at the plate.
- 21: Home Run!
- 20: Triple (3 Bases)
- 19: Double (2 Bases)
- 18: Single (1 Base)
- 17: Walk
Any hand totaling 16 or less is an out. Busting (going above 21) also records an out.
Your offensive results move runners around the bases and generate runs like a typical baseball game. You will move to the next half of the inning when you reach 3 outs.
Defense: You're Pitching
During the bottom half of the inning, your goal is to beat the dealer and record three outs before the opposing team can score. The scoring works as such:
- Standard Win (No Blackjack): One Out
- Win by Doubling Down or Splitting: Two Outs
- Blackjack: Three Outs
- Push: Opponent Walks
If the dealer wins, or if you bust, the opponent reaches base with a single. If the dealer has blackjack, the opponent hits a home run.
