BLACKJACK

In Blackjack, you are dealt two cards face up and the dealer is dealt two cards, one face down and one face up. The goal of Blackjack is to get closer to 21 points than the dealer without going over 21 points.

A "Blackjack" is a hand that totals 21 points with two cards. Blackjack automatically wins, unless both you and the dealer receive Blackjack, then you push. A total of 21 points with three or more cards is not considered Blackjack.

Point Values

Cards 2 through 10 = face value

Face Cards = 10 points

Aces = 1 point or 11 points, whichever makes a better hand

Example: 6 + Ace = 7 points or 17 points

To Play

  1. Click chips to place a bet within table limits or click Rebet

  2. Click Deal

  3. If the Dealer's face-up card is an Ace, click Insure if you would like to buy insurance

  4. Click Hit, Stand, Double, or Split

  5. Continue to click Hit until you Stand, Double, bust, push, or until the dealer busts

Doubling - You can only Double once in Blackjack.

Splitting - You can split the first two cards dealt if they are of equal point value. When you split, you must place an additional bet that is equal to the ante. You will now have two hands. You can continue to hit for each hand, unless the split was made for a pair of Aces, in which case you can only hit once for each hand.
