This game is played mainly in the casinos of Atlantic City. The game is a variation of Blackjack and allows the player the opportunity of making an additional wager after seeing the dealer's up card.
There’s more to this game than meets the eye
Double Attack Blackjack is played using eight decks of playing cards without the 10 of each suit. To start the game, each player makes an initial Blackjack wager by placing chips in the area marked “Bet”. The dealer deals a card to himself/herself face up and then offers the players the opportunity of making an additional wager in the area marked ‘Double Attack’, up to the amount of the player's initial wager. Players may surrender on any number of cards including after hitting, splitting and doubling down. Players may double down on both bets on two or more cards. Players that split must equal the amount wagered on the initial and, if applicable, the Double Attack bet. All winning initial and Double Attack wagers are paid at odds of 1 to 1. Blackjack pays even money.
The Optional Bonus Wager
Optional bonus wagers are allowed but must be placed at the start of each game.
Each player who has placed an initial wager may make an additional bonus wager that the dealer will ‘bust’ or exceed a point total of 21 with exactly three cards. Bonus wagers must be at least $1 and not more than the player's basic wager up to a maximum of $50. The dealer must settle all optional bonus wagers prior to any other wager being paid or collected. If the dealer's point total exceeds 21 with exactly three cards, the dealer pays each player who has placed a bonus wager based on the value of the dealer's third card in accordance with the following pay table.

The general play and the card point values are the same as in standard blackjack. Also, as in standard blackjack, the player wins if his point total comes closer than the dealer to 21 without going over or ‘busting’. Dealers still win a push, and any player hand that totals over 21 still busts and automatically loses for the player.
Betting
Betting is normal blackjack betting. Then the dealer shows his or her up-card. At that point, you can make an additional bet up to the amount of the original bet. Once you get your cards, it plays like regular blackjack with the following exceptions:
o You can double down (both wagers) at any point, on any total, with any number of cards, including after splitting. You also have "Double Down Rescue", surrendering after doubling.
o If you do split, you have to match both wagers.
o You can surrender at any point, with any total, with any number of cards, except if the dealer has a natural.
o The player's natural always wins, but pays only even money.
