The second reason why how many decks are used in blackjack is important is that the house edge is ever so slightly better for higher deck games. One thought behind this is that it makes it much harder for players at the table to keep track of cards that have been seen.

Read More »When you play blackjack at home, whether you call it pontoon, 21, or something else, the chances are you use one deck of cards. After all, most of us only have one 52-card pack of cards in the house. When you play at a casino, you might wonder how many decks are used in blackjack. Just like at home, you could find a table using one deck of cards, but it’s far more common for between six and eight cards to be in play at a live casino venue. The same applies to online platforms like TwinSpires Casino. To most of us, that makes very little difference. We still get two cards, see what the dealer’s upcard is, and can then play out our hand in the usual way. There is strategically nothing you should do differently, except perhaps try and keep an eye on the number of tens and picture cards that have been in play.

Read More »In casino play, the dealer has no options. He always has to hit values below 16/17 (the exact number varies by casino), and has to stay when his cards are higher. In non-casino play, often the dealer is just another player and has the same options as you.
Blackjack dealers have no options for the in-game decisions of whether to hit or stay; they follow a strict algorithm that will depend on the casino. The dealer waits until the players have exercised all their options, then the dealer reveals their hidden card and hits until they have at least 17 (most common). The only variation I'm familiar with is a rule where the dealer will hit a soft 17 (any 17 with an Ace taking the value 11--denoted "H17" for Hit 17, as opposed to "S17" for Stand 17), but this is not the dealer's choice, it will be determined by the casino. According to Wikipedia, this rule will generally be printed on the table if it is being used, and it hurts players. Wikipedia phrases it the other direction: going from H17 to S17. 'Substituting an "H17" rule with an "S17" rule in a game benefits the player, decreasing the house edge by about 0.2%' See @NiceVerAz's answer below for a nice explanation of "meta-game" options that the dealer does control.
