Blackjack Rules
The game of blackjack is played against the dealer and the aim is to obtain 21 points in your hand without going over. In this game, the payout amount for a Blackjack, which is any picture card 10, J, Q or K with an A, is 3 to 2 and a non Blackjack winning hand would pay 1 to 1. The minimum betting amount is 0.10 and the maximum is 1,000. You can play up to 3 hands at a time and make an additional side bet on any or all of your hands which is used for the poker hands and has a maximum payout of 100 to 1.
Once all the bets have been placed, the dealer will deal two face up cards, one at a time in a clockwise order to each hand played, as well as their own hand, although their first card will be face down and the second card will be face up. Hand by hand various options and decisions will need to be made during gameplay with the aim of obtaining a hand that will beat the Dealer:
- Hit - adds an additional card to the current hand
- Stand - keeps the cards currently in the hand
- Split - allows you to split your hand into two if you are dealt with two cards of the same value, this will cost you an additional bet amount
- Double Down - if the first two cards that you are dealt have a total of 9, 10 or 11 then you will be given the chance to Double Down, where you double your initial bet and receive just one additional card
- Insurance - if the dealer´s face up card is an Ace, you will be given the chance to make an insurance bet. You can choose to bet an additional 50% of your current bet on the active hand and if the dealer has Blackjack you will win the Insurance bet at the odds of 2 to 1, regardless of who wins the game. Although if both the dealer and the player have blackjack, the Insurance bet will payout 1 to 1. If the dealer does not have Blackjack then you will lose your Insurance Stake
Once the round is over you will see a large green button in the bottom left which says New Game, and on the right a large purple button that says 2x Rebet and another green button that says Rebet. New Game will start a new game and you will need to place your bets again, 2x Rebet will double your bets from the previous round and Rebet will use the same bet amounts from the previous round.
The dealer has to abide by a few limits to their gameplay, in this particular game they must always stand on a soft 17. A soft hand is where an Ace is used as an 11, so an Ace with a 6 or an Ace with two 3´s will be considered soft 17 hands. In these situations the dealer must stand and cannot take an additional card.
