Blackjack Description
Blackjack
is the most popular casino card game in the
world. The name Blackjack arose when an American
casino decided to popularise the game by
paying a bonus to any player holding the
ace of spades and either the jack of clubs
or jack of spades. The object of the game
is simple – obtain
a total card count higher than that of the
dealer without exceeding 21.
Blackjack or 21 (twenty-one),
is easy to figure out and you can be very quick
to learn the basics, plus playing blackjack
is fun.
The objective of Blackjack
is for a Player to come as close to 21 without
going over, while still having a higher total
than the Dealer. Prior to receiving any cards,
the Player must place a wager. Once the wager
is made, the Player is dealt two cards face
up. The Dealer is also dealt two cards. If
the total value of the Player's cards is closer
to 21 than the Dealer, the Player wins as much
as was wagered. The Player also wins if the
Dealer goes over 21 and the Player has not
busted.
If the Player's total
goes over 21, the Player loses the amount wagered.
Players in the Download version of the Casino
have the option to play 1 or 2 hands against
the Dealer.
Blackjack Rules
Blackjack
uses 1 deck, a four deck shoe, or a six deck
shoe. The face cards - jack, queen and king,
all have a value of 10, aces count as either
1 or 11, and the remaining cards are worth
their face value. If your hand exceeds 21,
you bust and automatically lose the hand. If
you have the same card total as the dealer,
from 17 and up, no one wins and you get your
wager back in a push. The dealer must stand
on 17 and above and draw on 16 and below. If
the dealer's face-up card is an ace, you will
be asked if you wish to buy insurance.
Player
Moves/Actions For Blackjack
Insurance - Gives you a chance to protect yourself
when you believe the Dealer might have Blackjack.
If the Dealer's first card is an ace, and the
Player believes the Dealer's hole card (face
down) value is 10, the Player may purchase
insurance against Dealer Blackjack at the price
of half their initial bet. If the Dealer does
have Blackjack, the insurance pays 2 to 1,
which corresponds to the amount of the initial
bet. If the Player has bought insurance and
the Dealer does not have Blackjack, the Player
loses his insurance. The Player's initial bet
is then settled by comparing his cards with
the Dealer's. If the Dealer and the Player
both have Blackjack, the game results in a
push with the Player profiting by the amount
won by taking insurance - also called "even
money".
Bet - To place a bet, the Player must click on
the chip value that they wish to wager.
Deal - Press Deal to begin the game once a wager
has been placed. The Player gets two cards
face up and the Dealer gets two cards.
Hit - Player desires another card to be dealt.
The Player may take a hit at any time before
standing.
Stand - Player desires to keep hand dealt. The
game will automatically stand when the Player
has 21 or after doubling down.
Split - If the Player's first two cards are of
the same value (i.e. 7, 7, or Q, K) they
may be split into 2 separate hands by placing
a second wager of equal value. The Player
may have up to 3 hands at one time. The Player
then proceeds to draw cards as usual, with
these exceptions:
If a Player splits two
aces, only one additional card is dealt for
each hand. A hand totaling 21 after splitting
aces is considered 21, not Blackjack.
Double - When a Player has been dealt the first
two cards and believes that the third card
will give them a position to beat the Dealer's
hand, they can "double down." The
wager is doubled, and one additional card
is dealt to the Player. The hand is automatically
stood, and the Dealer then completes its
hand comparing it to the Players' total.
Blackjack - Is achieved when first two cards total
21. Blackjack beats a score of 21 consisting
of 3 or more cards.
Bust - Is achieved when total value of cards for
either the Dealer or the Player exceeds 21.
If the Player busts the wager is lost, if
the Dealer busts the Player automatically
wins the wager.
Push - Is achieved when the value of the Dealer's
cards (from 17 to 21) and the Player's cards
are equal resulting in neither winning. It
also results in the return of the Player's
wager.
Surrender - Once a Player hits surrender, the Player
will receive 50% of his current bet and 50%
will go to the house. Surrender is only allowed
on the first 2 cards a player receives.
