Ten-value cards become worth 8. Recalculate the hand before acting: high cards are lighter, but can still bust you. Original natural blackjacks settle before chaos and keep their normal payout.
Playing against it
- Judge each hit against the displayed total rather than the usual ten-value assumption.
- The dealer also draws using the reduced values, so its usual upcard strength can be misleading.
