Card values and the objective
Number cards count at face value, jacks, queens and kings count as ten, and an ace counts as one or eleven. A natural blackjack is normally an ace with a ten-value card in the first two cards.
If your total exceeds 21, the hand busts. Otherwise the dealer completes the dealer hand according to the configured table rules before results are settled.
Hit, stand, double and split
Hit takes another card. Stand ends decisions for the active hand. Double increases the wager according to the table rules and deals one final card.
A matching opening pair may be split into separate hands if splitting is enabled. Each split hand is then played in sequence.
Insurance
Insurance can be offered when the dealer shows an ace. It is a separate wager on the dealer having blackjack and is settled independently from the main hand.
Insurance is optional and is only available when the current game settings permit it.
Saved statistics and virtual stakes
Your account stores blackjack statistics and recent game records. Stakes and winnings remain virtual and cannot be converted into cash.
