They don’t use only 1 pack in blackjack, it’s something like 4 or 6.

I was dealt 3-3 and dealer had a 3 showing.

I split and recieved another 3. I hit and was given a K.

The dealer flipped a 9, then hit and recieved a 3, then hit and got a 2.

I lost 16 to 17.

But how is this possible, that is five 3s in one hand?

you play it often enough you see it's not a deck of cards it a coin flip

ps Poker uses just one deck

more than 1 deck. if you pay attention. it tells you when the decks are shuffled.

Blackjack can use anywhere from 1-12 decks. Torn uses European rules so I imagine it's 4-6 decks being used.

This makes a charge a lot easier to get as what the dealer is given really doesn't factor in to what you can get as much

Ya it’s a joke/ a trap, don’t play!

Bump.

In light of recent patch notes claiming that blackjack was changed from 1 deck to 8 decks. I would like to ask again how in the hell I had five 3s in one hand?

I didn't really play BJ before, but I'm pretty sure that a split forced a new deck to be used.

BJ in torn has been updated to use 6 decks. Previously it used 2.

Everyone knows that it is fixed to get your money. It says you could lose all of your money but it does not say you will lose all of your money… a friend of mine who is a stuff member clearly warned me that I shouldn’t play it since it is fixed to get your money. So yeah do not do it. It is statistically impossible to win in torn
