How to Play BlackJack
Short Description
In the Casino-on-Net BlackJack game you are competing
against the dealer (the house), along with other players
(up to two). Our game is unique in that you may choose
to play with other players, live online, just like a
real Casino. We feature Private, Group, as well as Public
Tables. At a Public Table there are up to three players
playing, simultaneously. At a Private Table you may
choose to play alone or at a Group Table with up to
three players of your choice! All players wishing to
play at the same table must enter the same "Group Name"
in the "Group Table" field. The players and the dealer
are each dealt two cards, with the goal of reaching
21, without going over. The player may draw as many
cards as they wish, until reaching 21. If the player
draws a card that puts them over 21 (which is called
a "Bust"), they lose the hand. A winning hand adds up
to more than the dealer's hand, without "Busting".
BlackJack Rules
Our BlackJack game has a dealer and one to three players
(as described above). The dealer deals from a shoe containing
four decks of playing cards. Before the deal, the players
place their bets by clicking on either the $1 chip,
$5 chip, $25 chip or the $100 chip, to reach the desired
bet. After deciding on the desired bet the player must
click the "Deal" button to proceed with the hand. The
round begins after all participants have bet and clicked
"Deal". In Public and Group Tables, the game will proceed
once the one minute default time limit has expired.
 Once
the deal begins the bets may not be changed. During
the course of the hand players may add to their bets
through Double Downs, Splits,
and Insurance. After the cards are
dealt, you will be offered the appropriate option. Buttons
located on the lower left side of the screen will appear
in order to facilitate the player's desired action.
For example, if it is possible to split two cards a
button will appear to allow the player to split the
cards. The player simply clickes on the "Split" button
in order to split.
The minimum bet is $1 and the maximum bet is $500. Each
player receives two cards, face up, and the dealer receives
one card, face up. The player may request as many additional
cards as desired, until they either chooses to "Stand"
or Busting. If a player is dealt BlackJack, which is
a 10 or face card along with an Ace, they are immediately
paid 1.5 times the placed bet, unless the dealer also
has BlackJack, in which case it is a "Push"
(the player's bet left on the table).
After all players' bets have been completed, the dealer
completes their hand. If the dealer has sixteen or less,
they must draw a card (Hit), until they reach seventeen
or more. If the dealer's card total exceeds 21 (Bust),
they must pay all players remaining in the hand.
"Double Down": A
player may select the "Double" option after being dealt
two cards. The Double option automatically doubles the
player's bet and deals one additional card, face up.
The player cannot draw any additional cards. The player
may double down on any first dealt two cards or after
splitting a pair.
"Split": If the player is dealt
any pair of cards, on the first two cards (i.e., two
Fives, two Jacks, etc.), they may split the cards into
two separate hands. The split option automatically places
an additional bet, equal to the original wager. Each
hand is then played independently, and the player may
take as many Hits as desired on each hand (with the
exception of Aces, which receive one additional card
only, per hand). In the case of split Aces, a player's
BlackJack is not possible and is considered as a regular
21. In this case, a dealer's BlackJack wins, and a dealer's
21 becomes a "Push".
"Insurance": If the dealer shows
an Ace, the player has the option of making an "Insurance
Bet". This equals half the original bet, and ensures
that the player will not lose their wager should the
dealer be concealing a 10 or face card under their Ace.
If, in fact, the dealer's down card is equal to 10,
the player wins the Insurance Bet at odds of 2-1. If
the dealer's down card has a value of less than 10,
the player loses the Insurance Bet and continues normally
with the hand.
"Push": A Push refers to when
the dealer and the player have the same numerical count
in their hands. In this event the play is a draw, and
the players bet remains on the table.
Notes:
- Should a player fail to place a bet within the set
default time limit, the hand will continue without
their participation.
- Should a player place a bet, but fail to click the
"Deal" button within the set default time limit, they
will automatically be dealt two cards and the hand
will continue.
- In the event that the player is unable to click
the "Deal" button due to a disconnection, the disconnection
rules shall apply.
- The cards are reshuffled after each hand
