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.
Our Blackjack follows the standard ?Las Vegas Strip? rules, with
the following exceptions:
-
After each round,
used cards are returned to the deck and the deck is shuffled.
-
The player may not
split a split hand.
-
The player may
double after splitting.
-
The dealer will
not check for Blackjack in any case.
-
If the player
doubles and the dealer's first card is of value 11 (ACE), and
the dealer gets blackjack, the player loses both his bets.
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.
If the dealer has an Ace as his up card, you?ll be given a chance
to buy insurance. When you buy insurance, you?re betting that the
dealer has a 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.
10 Card Charlie
It is theoretically possible for the player to draw 10 card
without going bust. In this case the player?s hand automatically
wins, except when the dealer has Blackjack.
