    Sound good? We think so, too. 


    Cards

    This version of Blackjack uses eight standard decks with 52 cards in each deck. 

    Cards numbered between 2 and 10 are simple to understand, since they are worth their face value. 

    The face cards (Jack, Queen and King) are worth 10. 

    Aces are little more complicated, since they can be worth 1 or 11 - this is entirely dependent on which would benefit your hand more!


    Blackjack

    To get Blackjack, your first two cards need to equal exactly 21.

    You'll need to reach Blackjack before anyone else, so it's a race to win in this game!


    First Card

    All players will receive one face-up card to begin with.


    Insurance Bet

    If the dealer's first card is an Ace, then they have some more flexibility to reach Blackjack.

    To offset that risk, you can choose to place an Insurance bet, which counts on the dealer reaching Blackjack. 

    If the dealer does get Blackjack, then your whole bet will be refunded.

    However, if the dealer doesn't have Blackjack, then you will lose the bet.

    The Insurance bet costs 0.5x your stake.


    Double Down, Hit or Stand Options

    These options let you decide what to do next with your hand:

    • Double Down - doubles your original bet and adds another card to your hand.
    • Hit - adds another card. This can be repeated as many times as you like.
    • Stand - keeps your hand as it is.

     

    Split Option

    This option is only available if your first two cards are worth the same value. 

    Choosing this option will split the cards apart into two new hands. 

    Another bet will need to be placed on the new hand - this will be worth the same value as the original bet.


    Side Bets

    If you want to shake things up a bit, then take a look at our side bets.

    There are two side bets to choose from in this game: Perfect Pairs and 21+3.

     

    Perfect Pairs

    If your first two cards are one of the following pairs, then you would win a Perfect Pairs payout if you placed this side bet.
