Two weeks ago I was playing blackjack in Germany where they also do not take a hole card. In this event the player loses the total bet if the dealer gets a blackjack, including the additional money bet after doubling or splitting. Basic strategy changes are to hit 11 against a 10, hit two 8's against a 10 or ace, and hit two aces against an ace. Also, in Europe and commonly in Canada, dealers do not have a hole card. This is called “European” or “European No-Hole” blackjack. We provide these charts to people with a membership. Meet Colin Jones. Colin is the founder of Blackjack Apprenticeship.

Blackjack No Hole Card Games
- Blackjack is a card game in which one of the dealer’s cards is hidden from the player until the final stage of the game. Knowing in advance what a dealer’s hole card is would be a huge advantage to the player. It should come as no surprise that some live blackjack players have perfected a.
- In a game of blackjack, the dealer typically will not look at his hole card until the players have completed their round. However, the European no-Hole-Card Rule dictates that the dealer takes his hole card immediately after all the players at the table hold their hands. ‘European no-Hole-Card Rule’ Explained.
- With no hole card, it is almost never correct basic strategy to double or split against a dealer ten or ace, since a dealer blackjack will result in the loss of the split and double bets; the only exception is with a pair of aces against a dealer 10, where it is still correct to split.

Hey all,
Quick question for you. Where I play the dealer doesn't take a hole card, but if you split or double down against a 10 or Ace, you only lose your original bet if the dealer ends up with a natural.
I know there is a European No Hole Card strategy, where you don't split Aces or 8's against 10 or Ace because you lose all of your wagers, including the splits and doubles.
When you only lose the original, I always thought you still split 8's against a 10 or an Ace. But I was just cruising through Arnold Snyder's website and saw this article:
Blackjack Variations: Aruba No-Hole Card Blackjack vs. European No Hole Card Blackjack
He says this near the bottom:
'The Aruba “no hole card” rule does, however, differ slightly from both the standard European version, and the American version. In Europe, if you double down or split a pair vs. a dealer ten or ace, and the dealer completes his hand to give himself a blackjack, the player will lose everything to the dealer’s natural. In the American casinos where the dealer does not take (or check) his hole card until after the players have played out their hands, a dealer blackjack will win only the original bet of the player.
In Aruba, the dealer will win only the player’s original bet, unless the player busts on one or more of his split hands, in which case the dealer will also win the bet(s) on the busted hands. The house advantage from this no-hole-card rule variation (dealer natural takes busts) is very small, about .01% (that’s one-hundredth of a percent, or about one penny for every hundred dollars bet). The only basic strategy change that you should make in Aruba, to compensate for this rule, is don’t split 8s vs. a dealer ten or ace.'
Sounds like they're saying in the US you only lose the original bet, and in Aruba you will also lose bets if you bust out one of your split hands. Surely they won't allow you to keep your wager in the US if you split and then bust?? I know they won't take your split wager or a subsequent double down wager, but surely if you bust the hand they take it, right?
I'm a little confused by this article. Help a brother out.
