Split
If your initial hand is a pair of cards of equal value, you can decide to Split
the pair to 🍐 make two separate hands, each with a separate bet equal to your main bet.
After a second card is dealt 🍐 to both your hands, you can improve the value of these two
hands by deciding to Hit. Again, you can 🍐 choose to Stand once you are satisfied with
the value of your two hands. However, if you Split an initial 🍐 pair of Aces, you will
receive only one additional card per hand with no option to Hit.
Outcome
If the sum of
🍐 your hand exceeds 21, you bust and lose your bet on that hand.
When all players have
taken their turns, the 🍐 dealer reveals the value of his/her downcard. The dealer must
Hit on a hand of 16 or less and must 🍐 Stand on a hand of soft 17 or more. (Remember that
a ‘soft hand’ includes an Ace worth 11.)
You win 🍐 when the value of your final hand is
closer to 21 than the dealer’s hand or when the dealer busts. 🍐 If the value of your hand
is the same as the dealer’s, the game round ends in a push and 🍐 your bet is
returned.
Blackjack is only possible using the two cards in the initial two-card deal.
A hand of 21 🍐 resulting from a split pair is not considered a Blackjack. Therefore,
Blackjack beats any hand of 21 resulting from a 🍐 split pair.
Side Bets
This Blackjack
game includes optional side bets – Perfect Pairs and 21+3. You may place side bets in
🍐 combination with your main Blackjack bet. You have the chance to win on any side bet
whether you later win 🍐 or lose on your Blackjack bet.
Perfect Pairs
The Perfect Pairs
side bet gives you the chance to win if your first 🍐 two cards comprise any pair – for
example, two Queens, two Aces or two 3s. There are three types of 🍐 pairs, each with a
different payout:
Perfect Pair – same suit, e.g. two Aces of Spades.
Coloured Pair –
different suits of 🍐 the same colour, e.g. 2 of Diamonds + 2 of Hearts.
Mixed Pair –
different suits, e.g. 10 of Hearts + 🍐 10 of Clubs.
21+3
The 21+3 side bet gives you the
chance to win if your first two cards plus the dealer’s 🍐 upcard comprise any of the
following winning combinations (similar to those in poker), each with a different
payout:
Suited Trips – 🍐 an identical triplet, e.g. 3 Queens of Hearts.
Straight Flush –
in numerical sequence and same suit, e.g. 10, Jack and 🍐 Queen of Diamonds.
Three of a
Kind – same value but different suits, e.g. any 3 unmatching Kings.
Straight – in
numerical 🍐 sequence but different suits, e.g. 2 of Spades + 3 of Clubs + 4 of
Hearts.
Flush – non-sequential cards in 🍐 the same suit, e.g. 2, 6 and 10 of Clubs.
Bet
Behind
The Bet Behind feature allows you to bet on a 🍐 hand dealt to another player. You
will share the outcome of the other player’s hand. The payouts for Bet Behind 🍐 wagers
are the same as for ordinary bets.
You can use this feature whether or not you are
seated at the 🍐 table and intend to play your own hand. However, you cannot place a Bet
Behind bet on your own hand.
Place 🍐 a bet in any activated Bet Behind spot at another
player’s seat while betting is open. Hover your cursor over 🍐 any Bet Behind spot to view
the total number of players who have placed a Bet Behind bet, including the 🍐 sum of
their combined wagers.
At the start of the game round, place your main bet and any
optional side bets 🍐 (if offered). Next, place your optional Bet Behind bet in the BET
BEHIND spot at a selected player’s seat before 🍐 betting time expires.
If you place a Bet
Behind bet, and the player at that seat decides not to participate in 🍐 the round, your
bet will be refunded immediately.
The nickname displayed at each seat at the Blackjack
table identifies the player 🍐 who will make all decisions for that hand. You can,
however, decide whether or not to place an insurance bet 🍐 when the dealer’s upcard is an
Ace. You can also decide in advance whether or not to double your bet 🍐 when the player
you are betting behind opts to Double Down or Split.
You can later alter these settings
by clicking/tapping 🍐 the Settings button and then selecting the BET BEHIND tab. You may
also untick ALLOW OTHER PLAYERS TO BET BEHIND 🍐 ME if you wish to prohibit other players
from betting behind you.
