Single Deck Blackjack Online Slot

The main goal in Single Deck Blackjack

A lot of players think that the main goal in blackjack is to score 21 points or as close to 21 as possible. This isn't completely true.

Actually, your objective is to beat the dealer. You have to reach a final score higher than the dealer without exceeding 21.

Card values

You score points according to the card values. Each card has its rank:

• The low cards — from 2 to 10. They earn you the corresponding number of points
• Pictures from Jack to King. These all have the same value, paying you 10 points
• Ace is a card with two values, 1 or 11 points. For example, you get an Ace and a six. This hand awards either 7 or 17 points

The system selects what is best for you. If after that you are dealt a 4, you'll have 21 points. Or if you use the previous total of 7 — 14 points.

How combinations are formed

Single Deck Blackjack involves 4 possible outcomes:

• You win a blackjack, the highest hand. It contains an Ace and any card valued as 10 points (from 10 to King). This set of cards is the most valuable. Payout ratio is 3:2. In other words, if you bet 1 game chip you earn 2.5 chips. 1.5 of net income
• The prize is your reward for collecting total points as close to 21 as possible. For example, you get 20 points and the dealer gets 18. In this case, you win. The payout multiplier is 1:1. If you place 1 chip, you win 2 chips, the net gain is 1 chip respectively
• A tie means that both the player and the dealer have the same number of points. In this case, you get your bet back
• Busting is when the total points exceeds 21

Features of the gameplay

Start your game with placing the bet. The table in Single Deck Blackjack consists of 3 boxes. You can use one, two or all the boxes. There are no requirements for the bet size.

The gameplay includes several stages:

• Placing the bet. You select the deal value and place game chips
• Dealing. The dealer deals the cards alternately, one for you and one for himself. Initially, you are dealt two cards. One of the dealers cards is face-up
• Combination completion You have to decide whether to take another card or to stand after calculating your points

This stage comes with a special rule. You can take as many cards as you want if the total points doesn't exceed 21. The Dealer has to stop taking cards once his score reaches 17 points but he can still take one when he scores 16 points.

• The calculation of prizes. Once you decide on each box the dealer reveals his cards. The resulting hand is compared to the player's hands. The combination is considered a winning one when it consists of 21 points or as close to 21 as possible

The additional rules

Single Deck Blackjack features extra opportunities during the gameplay:

• Split — is the splitting of two cards of identical rank into two boxes. For example, you are dealt two Queens. You can split the hand into two by doubling the bet. New hands are dealt additional cards. If identical cards are dealt again you can repeat this process once more

The combination of an Ace and a 10 collected after splitting isn't considered as blackjack. It is considered as an ordinary set of 21 points and is paid accordingly.

• Double means doubling. Once you collect 10 or 11 points for a combination of cards you can use this feature. It doubles your bet and allows you to get 1 additional card
• Insurance. When the dealer's face-up card is an Ace you can use insurance in case he has a blackjack. The cost of insurance is half of your bet. It pays 2:1 if the dealer has a blackjack. Otherwise, you lose the game chips spent on insurance
