How To Play

Start by placing a bet through the betting box, followed by every player receiving two cards from the dealer who will also receive a card. Any players who immediately achieve Blackjack will receive a payout if the dealer's card is not an Ace or 10 valued card. All other Pair Bets will also be settled. In each turn, every player will have to decide whether or not to draw more cards. Players will then have a couple of different options available.

You will be able to double, meaning you may place an extra bet of up to, but not over your original bet if your first two cards total amounts to 9, 10 or 11. When doubling you will receive one additional card only. Another option is to split any pair of the same value to create two separate hands. You won't be able to get Blackjack on a split hand as they count as 21. Your third option is to draw more cards, but remember that you don't want to go over 21. The final choice is to stand on your two-card total.

Once all the players have made their decisions, the dealer will complete their hand and will have to pick another card if their hand totals 16 or less or has a soft total of 17. The dealer will have to stand on a hard 17 or more. You will win if your total is higher than the dealer's hand or if the dealer “busts”. If yours and the dealer's total is the same or if the dealer has a total of 22 you will have a standoff. The exception here is Blackjack, which simply means you haven't won or lost.
