    Cut and pasted the below from the Blackjack help section ,
    however I have came across where the push is a dealer win , Schipol/Amsterdam  Airport Casino plays this rule

    . Blackjack 3 online is won outright when the house deals you a face card or ten with an ace – this is Blackjack. Only if the house gets an equal scoring hand will a ‘push’ be declared in Blackjack 3, and your stake returned. The term ‘push’ is used since the term ‘draw’ means to ask for another card in Blackjack 3 online

    You cant beat on line black jack or everyone would be playing it. House edge exists like any other casino game. If you seriously want to win at black jack learn how to card count and expect to get banned from every land based casino you clean out or watch how don johnson made a fortune playing at US casinos(he was wealthy to start with mind). 

    I like kola cubes.

    Standard blackjack rules are that if you and the dealer scores the same, your bet stands ie. you keep your stake.  If it is different on Sky and a draw is deemed to be a losing hand it does seem very unfair and is stacking the odds heavily in the houses favour.

    That said, their house, their rules if you don't like it I suggest not playing it.

    The only way to play balckjack is like a mate of mine. We went out a few months ago for a meal with the girlfriends and he insisted we called in at the casino. He then played blackjack for about 10 minutes and absolutely ran like God. You know hitting on 15 and getting a 6, things like that, but over and over again. I think he lost one hand out of about 20. Anyway after 15 minutes he stopped £350 up. I lost £20 on roulette. He paid for the food!

    Oh and Fruit Salad, yum yum.

    If only they still did those mixed "Punctuation Bags" where you'd open the bag up and there would be a variety of commas,full stops,exclamation marks,open brackets etc. Oh,the excitement if you came across a semi colon....

    Refreshers or cough candy twists for me.

    A day without twiglets is a day wasted.
    My favourite poker snack, frozen red grapes.  Everyone pulls a face when I offer them, but then they try one and start freezing 'em themselves. I can easily go through a bunch in a night.
    I also like to freeze rum and raisin chocolate, chocolate covered peanuts,  turkish delight and cadbury chocolate orange, so I might be a bit odd.
    Dime bars are good when frozen too. 
    I think that's it.
    I am going to try frozen black jacks though, so thanks OP for the thread.

    Forgot frozen sherbert lemons!

    I,m currently on jelly babies, chocolate eclairs and wine gums as i,m trying to give up smoking and there is an offer on at local shop. just changed the wine gums for skittles though today
    Favourite oldie sweets had to be bon bons (or was it bom boms). The white ones (original toffee flavour) and for boiled sweets rhubarb and custard and mint humbugs which they still sell over the road from me

    Sry to OP but never come accross a situation where i,ve drawn with the dealer and it not been a push

    Pensi, exactly which version of the game were you playing, and can you go into your betting history and copy/paste the hand in question in here? Most blackjack games on Skyvegas have a 'push' result for the same score as the dealer but I think there are one or two exceptions - games like 'Blackjack Switch' and Turbo Blackjack have slightly different rules - they give you an edge in one respect but take something away from you in another. For example, in turbo blackjack you can split hands like 15 into two hands, and can double on 9,10 or 11 and if you don't like your first double down card you can exchange it for another, but the minus is that if the dealer makes 22 the game is a 'push' result.
