How To Bet
To play Multi-Hand Blackjack, select a chip value by clicking a chip at the bottom of the playing field. The chip you select brightens and displays in a raised position. To place a bet, click the desired bet circle on the table. Each time you click, you place one chip on the table.
You may place a bet on any one or more hands by clicking on the corresponding bet circle. Each bet must be at least as large as the minimum bet and each cannot exceed the maximum bet.
After you place your bet, click the DEAL button.
If you wish to repeat your last bet and play immediately after completing a game, click the REBET AND DEAL button. If you have sufficient credits, this button restores your previous bets and initiates play all in one click.
If you wish to repeat your last bet without initiating a new game, click the REBET button. This restores your previous bets. If you wish, you can adjust any bet. You still need to click the DEAL button to initiate play.
The DOUBLE BET button causes your currently placed main bets to be doubled every time you click it. If doubling any of your current main bets would cause a bet to exceed the bet limit, then the DOUBLE BET button is not available.
If you click the DOUBLE BET button before placing a bet, this is equivalent to first clicking the REBET button and then the DOUBLE BET button. You will still need to click the DEAL button to initiate play.
To remove a bet from the table, either press the SHIFT key and click your chips on the felt, or click the CLEAR button.
Playing a Hand of Blackjack
After you place your bets and click DEAL, cards are dealt to each of your hands and to the Dealer.
If the Dealer's face up card is an Ace, you are offered Insurance, which you can accept or decline. If you accept, this automatically places another bet equal to half of your original bet. After Insurance Bets are accepted or declined, then the Dealer's face down card is checked. If the Dealer has Blackjack, then each Insurance Bet is paid 2 to 1 and the game ends. If the Dealer does not have Blackjack, then each Insurance Bet is forfeited and play proceeds.
If the Dealer's face up card is a 10 value card, then the Dealer's face down card is also checked for Blackjack, but no Insurance Bet is offered beforehand. Early checking for Dealer Blackjack is a big advantage for the player since it eliminates risking additional double down bets and split bets that would otherwise be lost to a late-revealed Dealer Blackjack!
If the Dealer's hand is a Blackjack, then all main bets are forfeited, and the game ends. The exception is when you also have a Blackjack, which is a push, and your bet for that hand is returned.
If the Dealer's hand is not a Blackjack, then you get to play out each of your dealt hands. If you are dealt a Blackjack on the first two cards in a hand and the Dealer does not also have a Blackjack, then this hand is an automatic winner and is immediately paid at 3 to 2. If the Dealer does not have Blackjack you are given the opportunity to try to improve the outcome of your hand. Depending on the cards you hold, you may choose one of the following options:
HIT - You request an additional card. You can continue to request additional cards until you decide to stand or until your card value total is 21 (automatic stop) or until you bust by receiving a card that causes your card value total to exceed 21. If you bust, that hand loses and your main bet is forfeited.
STAND - You request no further cards and play this hand against the Dealer's hand.
SPLIT - If the first two cards in a hand are of the same value, you may click SPLIT to split your cards into two separate hands, which also places an additional bet equal to the original main bet. When Aces are split, only one further card may be dealt to each Ace. A split hand leading to a two card value total of 21 is not a Blackjack. Only one split is allowed per hand -- resplitting is not allowed.
DOUBLE DOWN - On the first two cards in a hand, you may click DOUBLE DOWN to automatically double your original main bet and receive exactly one additional card. If you split any cards other than Aces, you may also double down on the first two cards of either or both split hands.
The card value total is displayed on circular plaques adjacent to each hand. As cards are dealt to a hand, the plaque displays an updated card value total. When your hand holds an Ace and the plaque flashes the card value total and the word “Soft”, the value displayed is based on counting the Ace as an 11 rather than a 1 (for example, a 5 and an Ace are shown as a “Soft 16”).
When comparing your hand versus the Dealer's hand, Aces are evaluated such that they represent the highest possible card value total not exceeding 21.
After all of your hands have been played, the Dealer's face down card is revealed. If any of your hands need to be compared against the Dealer’s hand (in other words, at least one hand isn't a bust or a Blackjack) then the Dealer's hand is played out. Otherwise, the Dealer's down card is revealed, and the game is concluded.
If the Dealer's card value total is 16 or lower, additional cards are dealt until the card value total is 17 or higher. If the Dealer's card value total exceeds 21, then the Dealer busts and any of your standing hands win. Otherwise, the Dealer’s card value total is compared against each of your hands. In the case of a tie, this is a push and your bet for that hand is returned.
Insurance Bet
If the Dealer's face up card is an Ace, you can place an Insurance Bet on any hand with a main bet. If you are only playing one hand, you are asked whether you want to take an Insurance Bet for that hand. If you are playing two or more hands, then in addition to being able to accept or decline the Insurance Bet for the first hand, you can also accept or decline Insurance Bets for all of your hands at the same time by clicking on YES TO ALL or NO TO ALL.
Each Insurance Bet, if accepted, is half of the corresponding bet.
Once Insurance Bets are accepted or declined, the Dealer checks for Blackjack. If the Dealer has a Blackjack, then each Insurance Bet is paid at 2 to 1; if the Dealer does not have Blackjack, then each Insurance Bet is forfeited.
