The object of Blackjack is for the total of
your cards to be closer to 21 than the dealer’s cards,
without exceeding 21. In Blackjack, aces count as either 1 or
11, face cards as 10, and number cards as their face value.
If you receive an ace and a ten-value card as your first two
cards, you have Blackjack and win one and a half times your
bet (if you bet was $10, you receive $25). If the total value
of your cards is closer to 21 than the dealer’s, you win
as much as you had wagered (if your bet was $10, you receive
$20). If the total of your cards is more than 21, you “bust”
and lose your bet. If you and the dealer have the same card
total (17 and up) neither of you win and your bet is returned
to you in a “push”. Blackjack beats a score of 21.
We offer six deck Blackjack, which follows the standard “Las
Vegas Strip” rules, with the following exceptions:
1. The deck is shuffled after each round.
2. The player may not split a split hand.
3. The player may double after splitting.
4. The dealer will not check for Blackjack in any case.
5. If the player doubles and the dealer’s first card
is of value 10, and the dealer gets blackjack, the player loses
only the initial bet.
Split
If your first two cards have the same point value, you may
split them into two separate hands by placing a second bet equal
to the original bet. You then proceed to draw cards. You may
draw as many cards as you like on each split hand, but if you
split two aces, you receive only one additional card for each
ace. If you receive an ace and a ten-value card in a split hand,
it is counted as 21 and not Blackjack.
Double
After you are dealt two cards, and think that another card
will allow you to beat the dealer’s hand, you can increase
your bet by an amount up to your original bet or “double”
your bet. Your wager is doubled, and you are allowed to receive
one more card.
Insurance
Insurance is considered to be a game of its own within Blackjack.
It allows you to try and protect yourself when you think that
the dealer may have Blackjack. When buying insurance, you place
half of your initial bet by pressing the Insurance button. If
the dealer does have Blackjack, you are paid 2 to 1 on your
insurance bet. If the dealer doesn’t have Blackjack, you
lose your insurance bet.
