10+6+5 equals 21, and scores the same as a blackjack, but I've been in many casinos where they only used the term 'blackjack' with an ace and a face, or ace and a 10.While an interesting premise the rules of the Blackjack itself is off by quite a bit, and not explained at all sadly.
Any 21 at all, even with a 10+6+5 is counted as a blackjack.
Dealer being able to hit on a 18 or 19 to rabbit hunt for that really low percentage.
If a player's first two cards are an ace and a "ten-card" (a picture card or 10), giving a count of 21 in two cards, this is a natural or 'blackjack.' If any player has a natural and the dealer does not, the dealer immediately pays that player one and a half times the amount of their bet. If the dealer has a natural, they immediately collect the bets of all players who do not have naturals, (but no additional amount). If the dealer and another player both have naturals, the bet of that player is a stand-off (a tie), and the player takes back his chips.
If the dealer's face-up card is a ten-card or an ace, they look at their face-down card to see if the two cards make a natural. If the face-up card is not a ten-card or an ace, they do not look at the face-down card until it is the dealer's turn to play.
