You indicate to the dealer that you want to split. Suppose you wager $10 and are dealt a pair of 8s. In addition to the Free Doubles, there are also Free Splits where the casino will pay for the secondary bet on splits, meaning the dealer will place a Free Bet lammer on the second hand of a split. You can still double down on a soft hand, but you do not get the free double. If the hand pushes, or ties, you will receive your original $10 wager and the dealer will take back the lammer.įree doubles are not in effect for any hand that contains an ace (i.e., any soft hand).
In the event the hand loses, you lose only the original $10.Essentially, you risked $10 on the hand with the opportunity of winning $20. If you win the hand, the original $10 gets paid $10, and after the dealer removes the lammer, you’ll be paid another $10.
