The objective of Blackjack is for a player to come as close to
21 without going over, while still having a higher number 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 he wagered. The player wins
if the dealer goes over 21.
The following terminology is used in the play of the game
Blackjack:
Bet - the Player may make any wager desired
within the posted table limits. Deal - the Player gets two cards face up
and the Dealer gets two cards. 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
resulting in a loss of 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 except in Face Up
21(please see specific Face Up 21 rules). It also results in
the return of the Player’s wager. Hit – Player desires another card to be
dealt. Stand – Player desires to keep hand
dealt. Split – Player desires hand to be split
two cards into separate hands. Double – Player desires to double bet and
receive another card.
Aces can count as either 1 or 11 (except in the game of
“Caribbean 21”where the Ace has a value of 1 only).
If the player has a hand that consists of a 6 and an
Ace, he may either consider it at 17 or drop its value to
7. The Ace may count as 1 or 11. You may change the value
of the Ace as the hand progresses.
Deal
Clicking on the deal button after placing a bet starts a new
game.
Hit
Clicking on the hit button will deal the player an additional
card.
Stand
Clicking on the stand button will keep the player’s hand at
its current value.
Split
If the player’s first two cards are of the same value (i.e.
7, 7, or Q, K) he may split them into 2 separate hands,
placing a second wager of equal value. The player then
proceeds to draw cards as usual, with these exceptions:
If a player splits two aces, he receives only one additional
card for each hand. A hand totaling 21 after splitting aces is
considered 21, not Blackjack.
Double
When a player has been dealt two cards and believes that a
third card will give him a position to beat the dealer’s
hand, he can “double.” His wager is doubled, and he is
allowed to hit and receive just one additional card.
Insurance
Insurance gives the player a chance to protect himself when he
believes the dealer might have Blackjack. If the dealer’s
first card is an ace, he is considered to have a fair chance
of getting Blackjack. If 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.
Player gets two cards face down.
Dealer gets two cards, one face down and one face up.

ace valued at 1 are considered “hard” hands (A, 6, K is a
hard 17).

less.
Stand: any hard total 17 or more. Any soft total 18 or
more.
