Game Rules

General Rules

This version of BlackJack is played with 5 standard decks. The objective is to score a higher total card value than the dealer.

• If so, the player is paid at 1:1, unless the player has BlackJack in which case he is paid 3:2
• If not, the player either loses the bet or, when the hands are tied, pushes. Players are permitted to Hit until they Bust or decide to Stand. The dealer must hit on all hands that total 16 or less, and stands on all hands that total 17 or more.

Push (Tie) Rules

The hand is considered a push if the player and the dealer tie. In the case of a push, the player’s original bet is returned to him.

BlackJack Rule

If the first two cards that the player or dealer receive are an Ace and a 10 valued card, the hand is called a BlackJack.

• If the player is dealt a BlackJack, he will stand.
• If the dealer does not get a BlackJack, the player is paid at 3:2
• If the dealer is dealt a BlackJack, all the hands which do not also have Blackjack lose. There is no offer made to take even money when the dealer has Ace showing and the player already has BlackJack.

Double Rule

Players may double on the first 2 cards of any hand. When a player doubles, his bet amount is doubled and he receives one card only.

Split Rule

1. A player may split when the hand consists of two like-value cards.
2. A player may not split unlike 10 value cards.
3. When splitting Aces, only one additional card per Ace is drawn.
4. If a player draws a 10 value card after splitting Aces, the result is considered 21 and not BlackJack.
5. A player can split only once per hand.
6. Double after split is allowed.

Insurance Rule

If the dealer’s first card is an Ace, a player can choose to take insurance, placing a bet equal to half of his original bet. The insurance bet is a side bet. Insurance bets pay 2:1 if the dealer gets BlackJack. If the dealer does not get BlackJack, the player loses the insurance bet.
