Blackjack Single Hand

Single Hand Blackjack is played with 6 decks of 52 cards each, without jokers.

Rules of Blackjack

The dealer must stop when the card value reaches 17 or higher. Also, dealer must draw cards to 16. When the dealer is satisfied with his cards, game stops and cards in the hands are compared to choose the winner.

If the total value of the player’s cards in a box is closer to 21 than the dealer’s hand, or if the dealer draws a hand with a total value over 21, the player wins by that hand.

If the player’s card total is the same as the dealer, it is considered a "push" and the player keeps his bet.

Number cards, 2-10, are counted at face value. Picture cards, Kings, Queens and Jacks, are each worth 10. Aces are either worth 1 or 11. The 3 face cards have equal values.

How to play

Select a chip of the desired value. This can be done by click on the chip at the bottom right of the bet screen.

Place one or several bets. To add bet to the certain hand, click on the corresponding circle on the table.

To remove a bet, select the "Delete" chip at the bottom right of the game panel, and click on any placed bet. To clear all bets click on the "Clear bet" button. Note that it will not be possible to play with no bets placed on the table. It is also possible to delete a bet by mouse click with Ctrl key pressed.

Click on the "Deal" button. The player is dealt two cards for each hand, and cards are faced up. Dealer also gets two cards, but only one of them is visible.

To receive an additional card, click on the "Hit" button. You can repeat this as many times as you like, until total of the cards exceeds 21. If the total surpasses 21, it is considered a "Bust" and you lose the game.

To stay with cards holding, click on the "Stand" button. This can be repeated for all hands playing. After decision is made for all hands, it’s the dealer’s turn. He reveals his hidden card, and then makes his decision to take or not to take more cards.

Special cases

Black Jack
Black Jack is a combination of cards of any suits, which consists of Ace and any card of value 10. If the player gets Black Jack, he receives 1.5 times his bet, but if dealer receives Black Jack, player automatically loses. If both the dealer and player are dealt a Black Jack at the same time, they both get the win.

21
If the player gets the card value of 21 not after deal, but after hit, split, or double, it is not considered a Black Jack. If both the dealer and player are dealt a Black Jack at the same time, it is considered a "push".

Insurance
If the dealer’s visible card is an Ace, the player may purchase "Insurance" by betting half of his initial bet. If the dealer gets Black Jack, the player wins twice his insurance bet. If the dealer does not get Black Jack, the player loses his insurance. The outcome of the player’s initial bet is determined by the sum of the cards in his hand compared to the dealer's cards.

Splitting
If the player on the deal receives two cards of equal value, he can choose to "Split". The bet is doubled on that hand. The player plays with two hands in the same hand, one hand at a time. After the split, the first hand gets a second card. The player must decide if he wants to "Stand" or ask the dealer for another card. Once the player is finished with the first hand of the split, the same procedure continues with the second hand. However, if the player has chosen to split two Aces, he only receives one new card per hand.

Doubling
The player may double his bet after receiving his first two cards. When doubling, the player may only receive one more card per hand. It is also possible to double after a Split, unless the split contained two Aces.
