A set of five standard decks of playing cards are required for a game of Triple sevens blackjack. All the decks are shuffled together before the start of a game.

In a game of Triple 7, the dealer will have to stand on a total of 17 and hit on a sum of 16. Cards including aces are allowed to be spilt and re-spilt. The catch in this game is that a player cannot split two cards with different denominations but must possess the equal value. For example a ten plus a jack have a value of 10 hence cannot be spilt. Hands with a value of 9, 10 and 11 will be allowed to double down but a player cannot double after making a split. Players new to Triple sevens blackjack need to remember that at a time they can play only one hand.

Just as in other blackjack games the value of face cards is 10. With Aces having a value of 1 or 11 it is left to the player to make a decision on the value. A player should pick 1 or 11 depending on which would bring the maximum advantage for the hand that is being played. In Triple sevens blackjack a player can have a maximum of 11 cards in a single hand. If a player does not exceed 21 after holding 11 cards then the player must make a stand. However, if a player is dealt a 10 card and an Ace then the player is said to have a natural. A player who is fortunate enough to get such a hand will have to stand. When a player has a natural it cannot be defeated but it can be matched. There will be situations where a player and the dealer both find themselves with a set of naturals. This situation is called “push” in blackjack games. In such cases the player is paid back the original bet amount that was placed.

Triple 7 blackjacks have different winnings on offer to the players. There are the regular ones in which the blackjack hand winners will get paybacks of 2:1 or 3:2 and the non-blackjack hand winners will get paid out the original bet amounts. The excitement that surrounds Triple 7 blackjack is however the jackpots with bonuses. To win a progressive jackpot a player must get triple sevens consecutively. There is no limit to how much can be won. The longer a game is played the more there is going to be for the winner.
