Question about splitting and the order

[ralphguy]

Dear Black Jack players. I realize this is a high caliber black jack forum. However I hope someone will answer my lowly question. Basically I am helping my son to complete a report he is doing on the game of Black Jack. One thing we are uncertain about is the process of splitting. I do not have access to a casino without having to drive for a half a day.

So here is my question. Suppose you are dealt two Aces. You then split those Aces into two hands. The hand on the left is hand A and the hand on the right is hand B. Now the dealer must deal each new single card hand a second card. And then the hands will proceed to be played out. So here are two questions.

1) After splitting the two cards, is hand B dealt a card and then hand A is dealt a card in that order so that both hands now have two cards? Or is hand A dealt a card and then hand B on the right is dealt a second card.

2) Now after both A and B have two cards, we now have two hands to play. Now does the dealer and player start playing with hand B on the right first? And after that hand is dealt cards to stand or bust, is the next hand; hand A played out?

Or is it the reverse, where hand A played first, and then hand B on the right.

We were thinking this might vary from Casino to Casino. However we just want to know what the official rule is if any.

I would deeply appreciate a response. God bless all card counters, as they make up for the busloads of seniors who throw away their money at the casinos(LOL) Just kidding. Thanks in advance and have a great day.

First, let's change your example, and choose something other than Aces. (I'll explain why in a moment.)

You're dealt a pair of 8s, and split them. You put up another bet equal to your initial bet.
The dealer will separate the two 8s, and then deal a card to the first hand only. (The "first" hand is to the player's right.) You'll make your hit, stand, or double decision. (If you got another 8, you could resplit making 3 hands.) Once you either stand, or bust the first hand by going over 21, play proceeds to the second hand.

At that time, you'll get the second card on the second hand and begin playing out that hand.

Hopefully that answers your question.

Now, why not use Aces in the example? Aces are different because you are only allowed to receive one additional card on each hand and must stand. (Exception: Some places will allow you to resplit Aces if you get another.)

Last of all, these rules are very standard. With the exception of a handful of online casinos I've seen, all casinos will deal the hands this way.

Hand B (on players right) is first in getting a card. Each hand gets 1 card only for ace splits. After the dealer's hand is played the payoffs go the other direction. Hand A will be paid, pushed or bet removed if lost before hand B.
It is standard operational procedure everywhere I play.
