Blackjack
Blackjack is one of any casino's most popular games. Part of the game's appeal lies in the simplicity of its basic rules.
THE OBJECTIVE: In Blackjack, each player and the dealer (the computer) are dealt two cards. The objective is for the player to have a
hand value
that is closer to 21 than that of the dealer, without going over 21. Each player competes only with the dealer whose rules of play are strictly dictated.
Note:
Online Blackjack is typically played with eight 52-card decks
(variations exist so you may want to check with the rules of each casino). After each game has been played, the used cards are shuffled back into the
deck (so counting cards is not a good strategy).
THE ACTION:
Your balance and your last bet are shown on the screen. Select the amount you would like to wager on your next hand by clicking the left mouse button on the correct coin: $1, $5, $25 or $100. Each time you click the left mouse button you will add a chip to your planned wager amount.
When you click the "Deal" button, the cards are dealt with both your
cards face up, but only one of the dealer's cards face up. As long as you
do not have a Natural blackjack, you will have a variety of
plays
to
choose from (Hit, Stand, Split, Double Down, Surrender, or Buy Insurance).
When you are done with your play and you have not gone over 21 (Bust), then the
dealer must continue to Hit as long as the value of the dealer's cards is less
than 16.
Be sure to read our
guidelines
on plays and
tips.
THE PAYOFF:
If you win the hand, you will get back your original bet plus the same amount in profit. A hand that consists of an Ace and any ten-value card is called a natural twenty-one, or a natural blackjack. If you win with a natural blackjack, you will be paid off at three-to-two, which means you get your original bet back plus 150% profit.
If the player and the House tie, then it is a push, and no one wins the hand.
MULTI-USER BLACKJACK: In the multi-player version of Blackjack, each table can accommodate five players, multiple observers and the dealer. Your spot on the table will be noted by your name under which your total balance and current bet are shown.
Each player begins a hand by placing a bet on the table as described in regular blackjack rules. Click on "bet" once for each dollar you're wagering. If you do not bet within 30 seconds from the beginning of your turn, you will be automatically excluded from that particular hand. Note that if you join a table in the middle of a hand, you must wait until the round is over and after that you will be able to bet on the next hand. Each player will then receive two cards face up. The dealer will receive one card face up and one face down.
When it is your turn and based on the cards you hold and the one visible from the dealer's hand, you can select plays similar to those listed above, for regular blackjack play. If you want to take a break and just watch, hit the "stand up" button and you will be moved to observer status.
