Also, if the split pair are Aces, you are limited to a one-card draw on each hand and they may not be re-split. Pairs may be re-split three times for a total of four hands. Only after the first hand is played and completed may you act on the second hand. If your first two cards have the same numerical value, you may split them into two hands provided the bet on the second hand equals the original bet. In any Double Down, you draw only one additional card. Insurance pays 2 to 1 if the Dealer has a Blackjack, but loses in all other instances if the player has a Blackjack they may ask to be paid even money if the Dealer's up card is an Ace.Īfter receiving the first two cards, or the first two cards of any split pair except for Blackjack or a point count of 21 in two cards, you may elect to wager an additional amount not to exceed the value of the original bet. The insurance bet is a wager that the Dealer will get Blackjack and cannot be greater than one-half of the original bet. If the Dealer's first card is an Ace, you may elect to take insurance after the initial two cards are dealt to all Players and the Dealer. If the Dealer has Blackjack the hand is a Push. If the Dealer has a 10 value card, the Dealer will check the hole card for an Ace. You will be paid at this time if the Dealer does not have an Ace or a ten value card as a face up card. If your two initial cards total 21, you have Blackjack. Otherwise, the Dealer pays all hands that exceed the Dealer's point total, takes all bets that are less and leaves all bets that equal the Dealer's point total ('pushes'). If a Dealer's point total exceeds 21, all Players win who have a point total of 21 or less. If you need additional cards to beat the Dealer, gesture one at a time for additional cards (called 'hits') until you decide to stand. The Ace counts either as 1 or 11, whichever you choose. Each card assumes the value of the card shown. The Dealer's second card is dealt face down and placed underneath the first card. The Dealer starts the game by dealing two cards face up to each Player.

If you draw cards that total more than 21, your hand breaks and you lose. The object of this card game is to have the total point value of the cards dealt to you exceed the point value of the Dealer's hand without going over 21.

Each Player's wager is a bet against the Dealer's hand. Blackjack is one of the most popular games in the casino.
