Stock
The face up card near the Stock must be played to a place in the Blackjack hands or a Discard Pile. As each card is played, the Stock will automatically flip another card.
Layout
The 16 spaces may hold one card each. The spaces form nine hands of from 2 to 5 cards each depending on the position of the spaces. There are two hands of 2 cards, two hands of 3 cards, three hands of 4 cards, and two hands of 5 cards.
Once a card is placed it may not be moved.
Discards
There are four spaces where cards may be placed that are not wanted in the Blackjack hands. Each space may hold one card.
Scoring
Scoring for the various Blackjack hands is based on how close the player comes to 21 in each hand. Face cards count as 10. Aces can count as either 1 or 11.
Each of the nine hands are scored as follows:
Hand | Points | Example |
| Blackjack | 10 | A Blackjack is two cards that total 21. A King, Queen, Jack, or 10 combined with an Ace |
| 21 | 7 | 3, 4, or 5 cards that total 21 |
| 20 | 5 | All cards in the hand total 20 |
| 19 | 4 | All cards in the hand total 19 |
| 18 | 3 | All cards in the hand total 18 |
| 17 | 2 | All cards in the hand total 17 |
| 16 and under | 1 | All cards in the hand total 16 or less |
| Bust | 0 | All cards in the hand total 22 or more |
The scores from all nine hands are added together to arrive at the final score.
Game Notes
Blackjack Square is a Solitaire Network original created by Warren Schwader.
OK, we know the layout isn't exactly a square, but in keeping with the pattern of names and the game play of Cribbage Square and Poker Square we felt you would understand.

Introduction
One of the most frequent questions I get is on the probability of winning a game of solitaire and/or it is possible to at least gain an advantage under the standard rules. It isn't often that I say this when it comes to gambling, but my answer is 'I don't know.' It would seem nobody does. The purpose of this page will be to only to comment on the Klondike version of solitaire, which seems to be the form most frequently used in gambling. I am going to assume the reader is already familiar with the basic rules.

Vegas Variant
In the Vegas variant, three cards are turned over from the Stock at a time. A configurable rule is how many times the player may play through the Stock. Here are two gambling variants I'm aware of:
Blackjack Solitaire Card Game
- Three Passes — In the 'three passes' version, the player may pass through the Stock three times. The cost to play is 11.4 times the money returned per card. For example, the player might bet $57 and get back $5 for every card he puts in the Foundations. In an 'all or nothing' version, the player will win 7 for 1 if he gets all 52 cards in the Foundations, or nothing.
- Unlimited Passes — In the 'unlimited passes' version, the player may pass through the Stock as many times as he wishes until he has no possible legal moves left. The cost to play is 30 times the money returned per card. For example, the player might bet $30 and get back $1 for every card he puts in the Foundations.

Strict Variant
Blackjack Solitaire Card Game
In the Strict variant, one card is turned over at a time and the player may go through the Stock once only. The cost to play is 10.8 times the return per card placed in the Foundations. In an 'all or nothing' variant, the win is 10 for 1 for placing all 52 cards in the Foundations, or nothing.
