If a player is dealt with two cards that add up to 9, 10, or 11, the player has another option of doubling the bet placed. When the player’s turn to play comes around, a bet that is equal to the original bet will be placed, and the dealer will offer a face-down card. This card will only be turned up when the bets are settled. In case the player has two sixes, the player may double down, split a pair, or play regularly. It is important to remember that the dealer cannot double down or split.

Once the player has placed another bet, it can exceed the limit of the table. If a double is an alternative, only one card will be dealt to the player. There won’t be an option to make another hit. Although doubling down is available on split hands, only one extra card will be dealt per hand.
