Game Objective
|
The object of Blackjack is to accumulate
cards with point totals as close to 21 without going over 21. Face cards
(Jacks, Queens and Kings) are worth 10 points. Aces are worth 1 or 11.
Other cards are represented by their number. If the Player and the House
tie, it is a push and no one wins. Ace and 10 (Blackjack) on the first
two cards dealt is an automatic "Player wins" at 1.5 to 1, unless the
house ties.
A player may stand at any time.
For splitting, the player needs to place an additional bet to the amount
of the current bet on the hand being split. Split aces are allowed to
draw only one additional card. Both Split and Double Down options are
available only if the user's account balance permits placing an
additional bet. |
Options
|
Stand - If the player is satisfied
with his hand as-is he may stand. Click 'Stand,' and when the dealer
completes his or her hand, the hands will be compared.
Hit - If the player wishes to take another card he may continue
to do so until he either stands or busts.
Double Down - If the player feels he needs one and only one more
card then he may double his bet and be dealt one more card, good or bad.
This option is only offered on the first two cards, and sometimes on the
first two cards after splitting.
Split - If the player's first two cards are of equal point value
he may split them into two hands. In this event each card is the first
card of a new hand. The player must also make another wager of equal
value to the first for the second hand. The player may usually re-split
up to 2 or 3 times if another splitting opportunity arises. Doubling
down after splitting is usually but not always allowed.
Insurance - Insurance is a caution amount (50% of bet) placed
against the dealer's cards; which have higher chances of Blackjack.
Whenever the dealer's first card (open card) is Ace card, he has better
chances of getting Blackjack hence the bets placed can be recovered by
way of paying a caution amount to the house. Whether you win or lose,
you lose this caution amount. If the dealer gets Blackjack and the
player has insurance, then the player would lose only 50% of his amount.
