Change to blackjack rules

5 card Charlie used to win against anything…when and why was it changed to be unless dealer has bj?.. it’s hard enough to win without any further edge for the house.

you wont have a chance to get a charlie when the dealer has blackjack, because the round automatically ends if the dealer has a blackjack

I just had a five card charlie (6 cards, actually) totaling 18. Dealer exposed 18 also and the score was a tie. Why?

Never take 6 cards. Taking the 6th negates the “5 card Charlie”

6 7 you are in error. the dealer only turns over a blackjack if the Ace if face up…if the Ace is in the hole the hand plays out and you will lose the 5 card Charlie if you have one.
