Blackjack
DESCRIPTION OF THE GAME
Blackjack is available in several versions offering different chip values and table limits. Chips are used to make bets on the table, creating a "chip stack." You can remove chips from the betting area by clicking on "Clear Bet" marked with an "X," and the chips will be removed.
RULES
Objective of the Game
The objective of Blackjack is to get 21 points or beat the dealer's score by trying to get as close to 21 as possible without going over, otherwise, you go bust. Wins with a score less than 21 are paid 1:1.
The Cards
It is played with 6 decks of 52 cards, according to the following basic rules:
The deck is shuffled at the beginning of each new round.
Aces are worth 1 or 11, whichever is preferable.
Face cards are worth 10 points.
Cards 2 through 10 are worth their face value.
The game does not offer the soft 17 rule.
The game does not have a maximum number of cards per player or dealer.
The game does not offer the surrender rule (the player's option to surrender in the game).
The game does not offer the dealer push rule (the player loses due to dealer change).
Game Dynamics
The dealer looks at the second (covered) card only if their first card is an Ace.
The dealer must have at least 17 points and must draw with 16 points or less. The dealer must stand with 17 points or more.
The player must have a minimum of 12 points, so the player must draw when the total is less than 12.
When the total in the player's hand is over 20 (21 or more), the game automatically ends.
Otherwise, the player can draw as desired.
In our Blackjack, you can play alone against the dealer or occupy up to 5 seats at a time. Place your bet by clicking on the chips according to the betting limits, until you reach the amount you want to bet.
The dealer deals the cards from a special box called a shoe containing 6 decks of cards.
Once the cards are dealt, the bet cannot be changed.
Each player receives two initial face-up cards, while the dealer receives one face-up card and one face-down card.
You can request as many cards as you like (hit) until you stand, as long as you haven't reached 21.
Once you've reached a satisfactory number of points, you stop, and the dealer reveals their hidden card, and the game proceeds according to the rules.
Game Options
Blackjack
If the total of your first two cards is 21, you have Blackjack (which beats 21). The bet is paid 3 to 2, or 1.5 times the bet.
Push
In case of a tie with the dealer, nobody wins (Push). You retrieve your bet from that hand.
Double
If the first two cards total between 2 and 20 (inclusive) and you have enough credit, you can double the bet (also in case where doubling is above the table's fixed bet limit), but with the right to draw only one card. In case of doubles with an 8 and an Ace (11), receiving a 2, you get 11 and not 21, that is to say: the Ace, if any, of the opening pair that leads to a Double always worths 1; if you get a 2nd Ace as the third card, it's worth 1 or 11, whichever gives the most points.
Split
If you get two cards of the same numerical value and have enough credit, you can split them into two hands (Split), even if the split is above the table's fixed bet limit. You must place a bet on the second hand equal to the initial bet and ask for as many cards as you want for each hand. In this version, you can only split once; only for the first hand. If you split a pair of Aces, you will only receive one card for each hand. If you get a 10 or a face card, the maximum number of points you can get is always 21 and never Blackjack. After splitting, it's possible to double down, according to the specifications described above.
Insurance
When the dealer's face-up card is an Ace, you can insure against the possibility of the dealer having Blackjack by taking "Insurance" with a bet of up to half of the initial bet, provided you have enough credit. If the dealer has Blackjack, the insurance bet is paid 2 to 1, and the amount of the insurance bet is returned. If the dealer does not have Blackjack, you lose the insurance. In case of insurance, the amount of the bet is marked with a yellow circle.
