Classic BlackJack Rules
Our Classic 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. Before the deal, the
players place their bets by 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 click the "Deal"
button to proceed with the hand. The round begins after all participants have bet and clicked
"Deal". In Public and Group Tables, the game will proceed once the 30 seconds 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 center 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
clicks 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 additional
cards as desired, until he chooses to "Stand" or "Bust". If a player is dealt Classic BlackJack,
which is a 10 or face card along with an Ace, they are immediately paid 1.5 times the placed
bet, unless the dealer also has Classic BlackJack, in which case it is a "Push" (the player's
bet left on the table).
After all players' bets have been completed, the dealer completes their hand. If the dealer
has sixteen or less, they must draw a card (Hit), until they reach seventeen or more. If the
dealer's card total exceeds 21 (Bust), they must pay all players remaining in the hand.
"Double Down": A player may select the "Double" option after being dealt two cards. The
Double option automatically doubles the player's bet and deals one additional card, face up.
The player cannot draw any additional cards. 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, on the first two cards (i.e., two Fives, two
Jacks, etc.), they 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 (with the
exception of Aces, which receive one additional card only, per hand). In the case of split
Aces, a player's Classic BlackJack is not possible and is considered as a regular 21. In this
case, a dealer's Classic 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 their wager
should the dealer be concealing a 10 or face card under their 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 remains on the table.
Notes:
Should a player fail to place a bet within the set default time limit, the hand will continue
without their participation. Should a player place a bet, but fail to click the "Deal"
button within the set default time limit, they will automatically be dealt two cards and the hand
will continue. In the event that the player is unable to click the "Deal" button due to a
disconnection, the disconnection rules shall apply.
