Description
and Objectives:
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.
If the total value of the player’s cards is
closer to 21 than the dealer, the player wins as much
as he wagered.
If the total of the player’s cards exceeds 21,
he “busts” and loses his wager.
If his cards total the same number as the dealer (from
17 to 21), no one wins and the player receives his
wager back. This is considered a “push.”
Keep in mind that “BlackJack” beats a
score of 21 consisting of 3 or more cards. BlackJack
is achieved when your first two cards total 21.

Card
Values:
Suits of the cards have no meaning
in the game.
Cards 2 through 10 are the face value.
Jacks, Queens and Kings are all valued at 10.
Aces can count as either 1 or 11.
Note: In
Caribbean 21, the ace has a value of 1 (one) 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.
Dealer
must hit on a soft 17
All hands which contain an ace
valued at 11 are considered “soft” hands
(i.e. A6 is a soft 17). Hands containing an
ace valued at 1 are considered “hard”
hands (A, 6, K is a hard 17). In Caribbean 21,
the ace has a value of 1 (one) only.
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, one facing up and one facing down
(This is depending on which BlackJack version is being
played. Please see specific game rules).
The dealer’s card will remain face down until
the player has completed his hand (This is depending
on which BlackJack version is being played.
Please see specific game rules).
The dealer then turns over his card. The dealer
continues to draw cards until his total is greater
than 16. The dealer must also draw another card
if his hand is a soft 17. The player wins if
the dealer goes over 21.
BLACKJACK
INTERFACE
Deal
Clicking on the deal button after
placing a bet starts a new game.
Hit/Stand
Clicking on the hit button will
deal the player an additional card. 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.
Late Insurance
Late Insurance allows the player
to delay the placement of an insurance bet until the
end of the player’s turn.
Surrender
Surrender gives the player a chance
to protect himself when he believes that he will lose
the current hand. Once a player hits surrender,
the player will receive 50% of his current bet and
50% will go to the house.
