In what way is the Canadian variant different?

[Julio88]

The Canadian variant of blackjack is unique in a few ways. The most notable difference is the number of decks used. While the standard game uses six decks, the Canadian variant can use up to eight decks. This increases the house edge, making it more difficult for players to win. Additionally, the Canadian variant allows for a late surrender, which allows players to surrender their hand after the dealer has checked for blackjack. Lastly, the Canadian variant allows for the player to double down on any two cards, making it more advantageous for players to increase their bets.

When playing Canadian blackjack, players frequently have the choice to surrender and forfeit half of their stake when the dealer checks to see if he has a blackjack. The player may choose to do this if they feel that, given the dealer's strong upcard, their hand has little chance of succeeding.

There is no widely recognized or established "Canadian variant" of blackjack that differs significantly from standard blackjack rules. Blackjack rules and gameplay in Canada generally adhere to the standard rules commonly found in other parts of the world.
