Multi-player Blackjack is played with eight
standard decks of 52 playing cards that are shuffled by the Dealer and placed in
the Shoe.
Summary:
Game Rules
All bets must be placed and confirmed during the betting time.
If bets are not confirmed during the betting time, they are not counted in the
current game.
In this game, you can play as a seated player or you can play using the Bet
Behind feature.
The Dealer is dealt one card, face-up.
Blackjack is the strongest hand and automatically stands.
Blackjack cannot be beaten, only matched.
All face cards have a value of 10.
Aces can have a value of either 1 or 11.
You can draw up to seven additional cards to make a hand of nine cards, provided
the value of your hand does not exceed 21.
If your hand does not exceed 21 after receiving nine cards, your hand
automatically stands.
The Dealer stands on all 17.
The Strategy table is used to define the game play strategy when your bets on
the table are confirmed but you do not make a game play decision. More
Malfunctions void all plays and pays.
Betting and Payout Rules
If the Dealer is dealt a hand that exceeds the value of 21, and you are dealt a
hand that has the value of 21 or less, the Dealer's hand is bust. Your hand
automatically wins.
If the first two cards dealt to you are an Ace and a card with a value of 10,
you have Blackjack. Your hand automatically stands.
Blackjack pays out at odds of 3:2 on your regular bet.
If both the Dealer's hand and your hand have Blackjack, the hands push. Your
regular bet amount is returned to you.
If both the Dealer's hand and your hand have the same value, the hands push.
Your regular bet amount is returned to you.
Splitting Rules
You can split two cards that have the same denomination.
The split bet placed on your second hand is equal to your regular bet amount.
If you split a pair of Aces and then draw a card with a value of 10, this is not
Blackjack, although it has a value of 21. This rule also applies to splitting
pairs of cards with a value of 10 and then drawing an Ace.
You can only split once per game, equalling two hands.
Double Down Rules
The double down bet is equal to your regular bet amount.
You can double down on your first two cards if they are a hard hand with a value
of 9, 10 or 11 only.
You cannot double down after a split.
When you double down, you are dealt one card and your hand automatically stands.
Insurance Rules
You can take Insurance.
The Insurance bet is equal to half your regular bet amount.
Insurance bet wins or losses are independent from your regular bet.
Insurance only covers your original hand. It does not cover any second hands on
a split or a double down.
If the Dealer does not have Blackjack, the Insurance bet is removed from the
table. The cost of the Insurance bet is deducted from your credit balance, and
the game continues.
If the Dealer has Blackjack, the Insurance bet pays out at odds of 2:1.
