In blackjack, a Stand Off is also referred to as a “push.” It happens when the total value of the player’s hand matches the dealer’s hand. In this case, the player does not win, but also does not lose, and their original bet is returned. The Stand Off rule prevents either side from gaining an advantage when both hands are equally strong.
Stand Off Example
For example, if a player has a hand totaling 18 and the dealer also has a hand totaling 18, this results in a Stand Off, meaning the player’s bet is returned without any additional winnings or losses.
