In our partner's casinos in BlackJack game you are competing against
the dealer (the house), along with other players (up to two).
Our game is unique in that you may choose to play with other players,
live online, just like a real casino. We feature Private, Group,
as well as Public Tables. At a Public Table there are up to three
players playing, simultaneously. At a Private Table you may choose
to play alone or at a Group Table with up to three players of
your choice! All players wishing to play at the same table must
enter the same "Group Name" in the "Group Table"
field. The players and the dealer are each dealt two cards, with
the goal of reaching 21, without going over. The player may draw
as many cards as he/she wants, until reaching 21. If the player
draws a card that puts him/her over 21 (which is called a "Bust"),
he/she loses the hand. A winning hand adds up to more than the
dealer's hand without "Busting".
BlackJack
Rules
Our BlackJack game has a dealer and one to three players (as described
above). The dealer deals from a shoe containing four decks of
playing cards, which are shuffled after each hand. Before the
deal, the players place their bets by double clicking on either
the $1 chip, $5 chip, $25 chip or the $100 chip, to reach the
desired bet. After deciding on the desired bet the player must
press the "Continue" button to proceed with the hand.
The round begins after all participants have bet and pressed "Continue".
In Public and Group Tables, the game will proceed once the one
minute default time limit has expired.
Once the deal begins the bets may not
be changed. During the course of the hand players may add to their
bets through Double Downs, Splits, and Insurance. After the cards
are dealt, you will be offered the appropriate option. Buttons
located on the lower left side of the screen will appear in order
to facilitate the player's desired action. For example, if it
is possible to split two cards a button will appear to allow the
player to split the cards. The player simply presses on the "Split"
button in order to split.
The minimum bet is $1 and the maximum
bet is $500. Each player receives two cards face up, and the dealer
receives one card face up. The player may request as many cards
as desired until he/she chooses to "Stand" or busts.
If a player is dealt BlackJack, which is a 10 or face card along
with an Ace, he/she immediately gets paid 1.5 times the placed
bet, unless the dealer also has BlackJack, in which case it is
a "Push" (the player's bet is returned).
After all the players' bets are completed,
the dealer completes his hand. If the dealer has sixteen or less,
he must draw a card (hit), until he reaches seventeen or more.
If the dealer's card total exceeds 21 (bust), he must pay all
players who are still in the game.
"Double Down": A player may
select the "Double" option after being dealt two cards.
The Double option automatically doubles the bet and automatically
deals one card only, face up. The player cannot draw any additional
cards beyond the required one (which is automatically dealt).
The player may double down on any first dealt two cards or after
splitting a pair.
"Split": If the player is
dealt any pair of cards (i.e., two Fives, two Jacks, etc.), he/she
may split the cards into two separate hands. The split option
automatically places an additional bet, equal to the original
wager. Each hand is then played independently, and the player
may take as many hits as desired on each hand. In the case of
split Aces, a player's blackJack is not possible and is considered
as a regular 21. In this case, a dealer's BlackJack wins, and
a dealer's 21 becomes a "Push".
"Insurance": If the dealer
shows an Ace, the player has the option of making an "Insurance
Bet". This equals half the original bet, and ensures that
the player will not lose his/her wager should the dealer be concealing
a 10 or face card under his Ace. If, in fact, the dealer's down
card is equal to 10, the player wins the Insurance Bet at odds
of 2-1. If the dealer's down card has a value of less than 10,
the player loses the Insurance Bet and continues normally with
the hand.
"Push": A Push refers to when
the dealer and the player have the same numerical count in their
hands. In this event the play is a draw, and the players bet is
returned.
Notes
Should a player fail to place a bet
within the set default time limit, the hand will continue without
his/her participation.
Should a player place a bet, but fail to press the "Continue"
button within the set default time limit, he/she will automatically
be dealt two cards and the hand will continue.
In the event that the player is unable to press the "Continue"
button due to a disconnection, the disconnection rules shall apply.
