How To Play
Once the game has loaded you need to choose your seat at the table.
Seats are numbered from one to seven. Sit at the table by clicking on any available seat displaying the SIT HERE sign.
To place a bet, select your chip value from the BANK window and then click directly on the table to bet.
Please note; In order for your bets to be accepted you need to click the Confirm button in the BANK window before the timer runs out, otherwise your bets will be removed.
If a game is already in progress you will need to wait for it to complete before you can play.
When the game begins all players will be dealt 2 cards face up, the dealer will also get 2 cards although one will be face down. Combining both values, you want to hit 21 or as close to it.
The Multiseat option allows a player to take up to 3 seats at the same table and place multiple bets. This feature is only available at our VIP Tables. Please see Game Rules for more details.
The Game Rules, will give you more details on how to proceed with betting to get that 21.
If you are new to Blackjack, best of luck at the tables and if you are an old hand....take it easy on us!
Game Rules
Card Values
The cards all take their face value with the exception of any court or picture cards (Jacks, Queens and Kings) which all value 10, and Aces which value either 1 or 11 depending on which will give the player the best hand. If the first 2 cards dealt to you total 21 (an Ace and a 10) you have blackjack. Blackjack wins pay 3 to 2 on the player's original stake. Other wins pay at 1 to 1.
Each player takes turns to act on his or her hand, starting from the player at the right. When it is your turn to act you will be presented with a number of options:
Stand - You wish to take no further action on your hand.
Hit - You wish to take another card to try to improve the value of your hand. This option can be used multiple times.
Double - You wish to double the amount you have bet on your hand and receive one further card only.
Split - This option is only available if your first 2 cards are of the same value. By choosing this option you will double your bet and receive two more cards. This effectively gives you 2 hands to play. Please note if you split Aces you are only dealt one more card to each hand and cannot hit for extra cards. 21 hit after splitting is not blackjack as the cards are not the first 2 dealt, and therefore only pays 1 to 1. You are not able to split hands more than once. Once all players have acted the dealer will turn over their face down card. If their hand is valued below 16 they must deal another card. They continue to take cards until their hand is valued at 17 or higher. When the dealer has a hand of between 17 and 21, he will pay all players with a hand closer to 21 than his own. If the player's hand is the same value as the dealer's, the hand is a push or a tie, and the player keeps his stake. If the dealers hand busts all remaining players will be paid.

Insurance - If the dealers face up card is an ace all players are offered an insurance bet. This bet is half the player's stake. In the event that the dealer has blackjack this bet will pay at 2 to 1. If the dealer does not have blackjack the bet is lost and the hands play as normal.
Multi Seat option -This is only available on our Blackjack VIP tables.
