What rule of blackjack is this? My 17 beat a 20

Player Hand 17 3♣ 2♦ 4♠ 4♥ 2♦ A♦ A♣ Hit, Hit, Hit, Hit, Hit
Dealer Hand 20 A♥ 9♦ Stand

Never had this happen before. Apparently if you're only allowed to hit 5 times and if you don't go over you win?

Never heard of this.

At 5dimes playing the 6 deck blkacjack. Never encountered this problem so it shows how rare it happens.

They ran this in Tunica around 10 years ago.... Basically if you hit 5 times without busting you win automatically... I'm sure it has been ran everywhere.... I'm not sure why they don't still have this small perc for the player... Good for you
