Blackjack


Game Objective

  The object of Blackjack is to accumulate cards with point totals as close to 21 without going over 21. Face cards (Jacks, Queens and Kings) are worth 10 points. Aces are worth 1 or 11. Other cards are represented by their number. If the Player and the House tie, it is a push and no one wins. Ace and 10 (Blackjack) on the first two cards dealt is an automatic "Player wins" at 3 to 2, unless the house ties.

  A player may stand at any time.

  For splitting, the player needs to place an additional bet to the amount of the current bet on the hand being split. Split aces are allowed to draw only one additional card. Both Split and Double Down options are available only if the user's account balance permits placing an additional bet.

Options

Stand : If the player is satisfied with his hand as-is he may stand. Click 'Stand,' and when the dealer completes his or her hand, the hands will be compared.

Hit : If the player wishes to take another card he may continue to do so until he either stands or busts.

Double Down : If the player feels he needs one and only one more card then he may double his bet and be dealt one more card, good or bad. This option is only offered on the first two cards, and sometimes on the first two cards after splitting.

Split : If the player's first two cards are of equal point value he may split them into two hands. In this event each card is the first card of a new hand. The player must also make another wager of equal value to the first for the second hand. The player may usually re-split up to 2 or 3 times if another splitting opportunity arises. Doubling down after splitting is usually but not always allowed.

Insurance : Insurance is a caution amount (50% of bet) placed against the dealer's cards; which have higher chances of Blackjack. Whenever the dealer's first card (open card) is Ace card, he has better chances of getting Blackjack hence the bets placed can be recovered by way of paying a caution amount to the house. Whether you win or lose, you lose this caution amount. If the dealer gets Blackjack and the player has insurance, then the player would lose only 50% of his amount.
