If you enjoy the unpredictability and excitement of card games, try your luck and skill in our classic blackjack. Play one, two or three hands, as you like. Take another card, stand or double the bet, and do not ignore the tips. Thus, relying not only on chance but also on strategy, you are highly likely to beat the dealer.

How to play

1. Select the bet amount using the buttons in the “Bet amount” field. Bets are presented in the form of chips.
2. Place a chip on the box. You can make up to 3 separate bets of the same or different denominations. To double the bet in the box, click the “2x” button. To make the same bet as in the previous round, click the “Repeat bet” button.
3. Click the “Play” button.
4. You will receive your cards. One bet is one pair of cards (hand). The goal is to get more points than the dealer, but not more than 21.
5. For each hand, you can choose the following options:
   • Hit – The basic move in the game that players use to improve their hand. By hitting Hit, you are asking the dealer to give you one more card to get closer to 21. You can continue to take cards until you decide to Stand or go over 21.
   • Stand – When a player chooses Stand, they are signaling to the dealer that they are happy with their current hand and do not want to take any more cards. If you have multiple hands, you move on to the next one. If you are playing one hand or this is your last hand, the turn passes to the dealer.
   • Double Down – An option that allows a player to double their original bet, but on the condition that they only take one additional card. If you choose this option, the dealer will give you one more card. Once you take a card, your turn automatically ends, regardless of the outcome (i.e. you cannot take a card).
   • Split – This option is available when you have two identical cards. When you split, you split two cards into two hands and place an additional bet equal to your original bet on the second hand. If you get another identical pair of cards after splitting, you cannot split it again.

Each split hand is played separately. You can choose to “Hit Another”, “Stand”, or “Double Down” for each hand. However, if the split cards are aces, only one new card is dealt to each hand. If the new card is worth 10 points, the total is counted as 21 points, not as blackjack.

To navigate these options more efficiently, you can turn on the hints by clicking the light bulb button. When activated, the hints will indicate the best option for your current hand. However, the hints are only available for two-card hands and do not include any bet increase recommendations. They are limited to action hints such as “Take another card”, “Stand”, or “Split”, with the exception of doubling down.

General Rules

There are 8 decks of 52 cards in each deck. The cards are randomly shuffled before each round. Each card has its own value:

• Number cards (2 to 10) – the value of these cards is equal to their face value. For example, 7 is worth 7 points, 10 is worth 10, etc.
• Picture cards (Jack, Queen, King) – all picture cards are worth 10 points.
• Ace – can be worth 1 or 11 points, depending on which value best suits your hand. For example, if your cards are an Ace and a 7, your hand will total 18. However, if you draw a 5, your hand will increase to 23. To avoid busting, the Ace in this case counts as 1 point instead of 11, giving a total of 13. If the dealer has an Ace, it also counts as 11 points, unless it would lead to a bust. In this case, the ace is worth 1 point.
• The suit of the card does not affect the course of the game.

When you are dealt a hand, you receive two cards face up, and the dealer receives one face up and one face down. You can have up to three hands, while the dealer only has one. Each of your hands competes with the dealer’s hand separately. After you have made all your moves, the dealer reveals his face down card. The dealer must draw cards until his total reaches 17 or more (unless the Soft 17 feature applies).

Features

Soft 17. This feature works if the dealer has an Ace, which is worth 11 points, and the total points are 17 (for example, Ace + 6 or Ace + 3 + 3). In this case, the dealer must take another card.

Checking for Blackjack. If the dealer’s up card is an Ace, he checks his down card to see if he has a total of 21 points (an Ace and a 10-point card, which is a blackjack). If the dealer has a blackjack, the round ends immediately and all your hands lose.

If you also have a blackjack, the game ends in a tie and you get the bet made on blackjack back.

Insurance. Insurance is available if the dealer’s first card is an Ace, as he may have a blackjack (21 points with two cards). The cost of insurance is 50% of your main bet. If the dealer has an Ace, a pop-up will appear asking if you want to insure your bet. To insure specific hands, click the shield button next to each hand. To insure all hands, select ACCEPT in the Insurance pop-up. To decline insurance, select ISSUE.

If the dealer has Blackjack, insurance pays out at 2:1, which covers your loss on the main bet. If you and the dealer both have Blackjack, you also receive the 2:1 insurance payout and get your bet back. If the dealer does not have Blackjack, you lose the cost of insurance, but the round continues with your original bet.

Results

Possible outcomes of the game:

• Win – If your hand total is higher than the dealer’s, but does not exceed 21 points, you win.
• Loss – If your hand total is lower than the dealer’s, you lose. If your hand total is higher than 21 points, you lose automatically, regardless of the dealer’s total.
• Tie/Push – If your hand and the dealer’s hand total are the same and do not exceed 21 points, a tie is declared and your bet is returned to you.
• Blackjack – If your first two cards are an ace and a 10-value card (ten, jack, queen, or king), you have a blackjack and you receive a payout of 1.5 times your bet. If the dealer also has a blackjack, a tie is declared and your bet is returned to you.
