Dealer playing out hand

Hi @Samantha

First, thanks for all your help and guidance over the years!

Second, a question: In Hula Blackjack (Single Player) if I bust my hand, the dealer still plays out their whole hand. In 3-Card Blackjack (Single Player), if I fold, the dealer mucks my cards and deals the next hand. I never get to see what their hand was. Why is that? And can the game be upgraded so even if you fold, you can see what the dealer was holding?

Thank you!

In BJ, if the dealer gets a bj, even if you have a bj, its a push. House keeps the advantage. That said, the dealer can’t beat a 5 card charlie. even if they get 21, its the players advantage.
In 3 card if you watch, each player is dealt all three cards together, rather than one card per each player at a time. If all players fold, Its the same thing as everyone sitting out a hand because the dealer has no reason to deal herself a hand being the final player dealt to. Thus the dealers hand would technically be dealt to the first player in the next series.
If the dealer is winning each hand, sit out a hand and it changes what the dealer would have dealt herself, thus shifting her luck onto the first player. The same thing happens if everyone folds, the deal gets shifted by one player.
The problem with BJ and 3 card, is you’re supposed to be dealt from a shoe. The number of decks affects how you play. But you never notice when the dealer swaps out decks. Fresh deck every hand isn’t really how the games should be played.
There really needs to be a deck count and even an animation showing the dealer shuffling and the shoe shrinking, just so you know how much to bet or whether to sit out a hand.
