Always 6 Blackjack

Always 6 Blackjack is a live dealer game from Evolution built on a single rule change: the dealer’s face-up card is always a 6. Everything else follows standard blackjack – beat the dealer without going over 21 – but you begin every hand already knowing half of what the dealer is holding.

Why The Six Matters

A dealer showing 6 is the weakest position in blackjack. The house must draw on 16 or less, so a 6 leaves the dealer needing a second card and facing a high chance of busting on the follow-up. Basic strategy against a 6 is the most aggressive in the game: you stand on hands you would normally hit, and you double down far more often.

Fixing that card turns a game of shifting odds into a game with one repeating situation. That is the appeal – you can learn the correct play once and apply it every single round – and it is also the catch, because the house adjusts elsewhere to pay for the advantage it is handing you.

The Table

The game runs on six decks and supports the full set of standard actions: Hit, Stand, Double and the usual splitting rules. Two optional side bets are available – Perfect Pairs and Lucky Ladies – both paying independently of the main hand.

Evolution describes it as a game designed for confident, strategic play, and that is a fair summary. There is less to read and more to decide.

Who It Is For

Always 6 Blackjack suits players who enjoy the decision-making side of blackjack and want to practise one situation until it is automatic. It is also an unusually good table for a newer player, because the hardest part of basic strategy – adjusting to the dealer’s card – has been removed.

Players who like the variety of a normal shoe will find it repetitive by design. The dealer’s 6 never changes, and neither does the shape of the decision in front of you.
