How to Play BlackJack?
 |
|
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.
