Casino rules · Hialeah, Florida
Hialeah Park blackjack: electronic only
There is no live blackjack at Hialeah Park. The casino spreads blackjack on electronic terminals only, which changes what “rules” even means.

The short version
No live blackjack here: electronic terminals only. Terminal rules (payout, decks, soft 17) are set per machine and not documented publicly. Basic strategy still applies; there is no felt to read, so check each terminal’s help screen.
Skip 6:5 tables
A 6:5 blackjack payout adds about 1.4% to the house edge. That’s more than double the edge of the whole game with perfect strategy. Read the felt first.

Florida law reserves banked live-dealer blackjack for Seminole tribal casinos. Pari-mutuel racinos like Hialeah Park may only offer electronic versions, where the “table rules” live in the terminal’s help screen, not on felt.
Which strategy chart to use here
Use the dealer-hits-soft-17, no-surrender chart. Basic strategy still applies on the terminals. This is the default chart; check the terminal’s help screen for the actual rules:
- Hard 11 vs A: double (hit if you can’t). Why
- Soft 18 (A,7) vs 2: double (stand if you can’t). Why
- Soft 19 (A,8) vs 6: double (stand if you can’t). Why
- Hard 16 vs 10: hit. Why
- Hard 15 vs 10: hit. Why
- Pair of 8s vs A: split. Why
Terminals vary. Match the chart to whatever the help screen says.
Before you sit down
- Open the terminal’s help or pays screen before playing: payout, decks and soft-17 rules live there.
- Video blackjack often pays 6:5 or reshuffles every hand. If either is true, find another terminal or another casino.
- Set a loss limit before you start. Terminals play fast, often 200+ hands an hour.
- Card counting does not work on electronic terminals.
