Blackjack

Play the world's most popular casino table game. 

The goal is to get as close to 21 as possible without going over and have a higher hand than the Dealer. Bets are made before any cards are dealt. The cards are dealt in rotation from the dealer, left to right. The dealer's hand has one card face down and one card face up. If the Player's card total is closer to 21 than the dealer's, the player wins. The Player also wins if the Dealer's card total is higher than 21.If the Player's total is over 21, the Player loses. Players have the option to play 1 or 2 hands against the Dealer.

Buttons: 

Bet

Used to place a bet and select the chip value you want to bet.

Deal

Used to start the game.

Hit

Used when you want to be dealt another card.

Stand

Used when you want to keep the hand dealt to you. This automatically happens if you hit 21 or double down.

Split

Used to split the first 2 cards dealt into 2 separate hands when they match. You can have up to 3 hands at one time except when you split two Aces. Then, only 1 additional card can be dealt for each hand. A hand total of 21 after splitting Aces is considered 21, not Blackjack.

Double

After being dealt the first 2 cards a player can decide to double down. The bet is doubled and 1 additional card is dealt to the Player. The Dealer then completes his hand, comparing it to the Player's.

Blackjack

When the first two cards equal 21. Blackjack beats a score of 21 made up of 3 or more cards.

Bust

When either the Dealer's or the Player's cards equal more than 21.

Push

When the total of both hands are the same and fall between 17 and 21, neither hand wins.

Surrender

If a player decides to surrender, they get 50 % of the bet and the other half goes to the house.

Insurance

If the Dealer's first card is an Ace, and the Player thinks the Dealer's hole card (face down) value is 10, the Player can buy insurance against Dealer Blackjack at the price of half their initial bet. If the Dealer has Blackjack, the insurance pays 2 to 1, the amount of the initial bet. If the Dealer doesn't have Blackjack, the Player loses his insurance. The Player's initial bet is then settled by comparing his cards with the Dealer's. If the Dealer and the Player both have Blackjack, the game is pushed and the Player gets the amount won by taking insurance, called 'even money'.
