How to Play Blackjack

Objective


Blackjack Table	Hit or Stand?

Blackjack is one of the most popular games in the world, and more importantly is very easy to play. The hand closest to 21 wins in this classic contest. Hit or Stand to beat the dealer, but make sure you don't go over, or you're busted! Win big money doubling down or splitting hands.

How to Play

1. Choose the table you wish to play at. Each table has different minimum and maximum bets, so pick the one that fits your bankroll.

2. Click on your chips to place a bet, when you're satisfied with your bet, click DEAL. To remove a bet from the table, hold shift or ctrl and click on your wager. The currently selected chip amount will be subtracted from the wager. You have the option to remove all of your bets with the CLEAR BET button.

3. You will be dealt 2 cards to start. If you want to receive another card to bring you closer to 21, click HIT. You can continue to HIT cards until you are pleased with your total. If you are satisfied with your hand, click STAND. Remember, if you go over 21, you have busted and you lose automatically. When you are finished playing your hand, the dealer will play out his. The dealer must HIT on 16 or less and must STAND on 17 or greater. The dealer will play his hand the same regardless of the players' hand. If the dealer goes over 21, or if he cannot beat your hand, you win! If the dealer's cards match yours, you PUSH. A PUSH will return your bet.

4. A winning hand pays 1:1, except for BLACKJACK, which pays 3:2.

5. When the round is over, click NEW GAME to start another round. You can click SAME BET to begin again with the same bet, or click your chips to change the wager.

Splitting Hands

When dealt a pair, you may exercise the option to split the pair by clicking the SPLIT button at the appropriate time. Please note that splitting requires another wager equal to that on the initial hand. You may split once to a maximum of two hands, but please note that when splitting Aces each new hand will receive only one more card. Also, natural 21's occurring on these split hands are not considered Blackjack. When wagering on split hands, the currently active hand will be shown at full brightness, while inactive hands are faded out.

Doubling Down

If you feel really strongly about your hand and want to get some more scratch out of the dealer, try to Double Down. When you do this, you will double your bet, but only receive one more card. Take advantage of this wager by clicking the DOUBLE button at the appropriate time.

Blackjack Insurance

If the dealer is showing an Ace as his face up card, then you'll be asked if you wish to buy Insurance. If you believe the down card will give the Dealer Blackjack, accept the wager by clicking YES when asked if you'd like it. Insurance will cost you half of your original bet, and will pay at 2:1 if the dealer has Blackjack.
