HOW TO PLAY
Choose how much you want to bet using the chip dial.
Click to place your bet on one, two or three simultaneous hands. One click adds the bet value currently selected on the dial. Another click adds the same bet value again, accumulating with each click.
Click the DEAL button to start the game round.
Choose whether to HIT, STAND, SPLIT or DOUBLE THE BET.
HIT : Adds another card to the hand, accumulating to the total point
STAND : Adds no more cards to the hand, making the current point value of the hand the final one.
SPLIT : This option appears only when the two first cards are of equal point value. It splits the hand into two hands after which the remaining options follow; hit, stand or double the bet per hand. Only one split per hand is allowed. You can hit multiple times for all split hands, except those containing aces for which you may hit once only. If you have a split ace and a card with a face value of 10, it counts as a regular 21 point nana, not a Blackjack hand.
DOUBLE THE BET : Adds another card to the hand while also doubling the bet on that hand. The hand automatically stands after doubling down – no additional cards may be requested. Player may double the bet on two cards only.
GAME RULES OVERVIEW
In this game you compete against the dealer. When the game is concluded, the hand with the highest value up to but not exceeding 21 points wins. When a game round starts, each hand is given two cards facing up and the dealer is given two cards; one facing up and one concealed. After that each hand is played through to either standing on a point value or going bust. The dealer hand is the last to be finalised, starting with the reveal of the concealed card. Players can beat the dealer in three ways:
- Get Blackjack. This means 21 points from the first two cards. Blackjack always beats any other hand with a value of 21 points. If you get Blackjack the hand automatically stands.
- Get a higher total value than the dealer up to, but not exceeding, 21 points.
- Dealer goes bust. This happens when the dealer gets a total point value of 22 or higher. The dealer will automatically stand on 17 and hit for another card on 16 and below.
If your hand has 22 points or higher, you lose regardless of the value of the dealer’s hand. If you stand on a point value and the dealer stands on that same value, the game round ends with a draw. A draw in Blackjack is called a “push”. A push results in the return of your bet.
CARDS
- King, Queen and Jack counts as 10 points.
- Cards 2-10 are counted per the value of the card.
- Ace counts as either 1 or 11 points.
- Suits are of no consequence in this game, only the point value of the cards determine the value of the hand.
- In the beginning of each round, the game simulates using the equivalent of 8 new standard decks of 52 cards.
- Cards are shuffled before each game.
21+3 RULES
With this side bet you are trying to match one of the five recognised poker hands using the first two cards dealt to a circle plus the dealer up card. The expected RTP of the 21+3 bet is 96.82%. The winning combinations are
“Flush”, “Straight”, “Three of a kind”, “Straight Flush”, “Suited 3 of a kind”.
- Choose your chip value using the chip selector and place your bets by clicking in the bet circles marked “+3”
- You can only place a bet in the “+3” circles after having first placed a main bet.
- The game will revert to the regular Blackjack rules once all the 21+3 side bets have been resolved.
- “Flush”: 3 cards of the same suit (e.g. 5 of Hearts, 8 of Hearts, and Q of Hearts).
- “Straight”: 3 cards in sequence (e.g. 3 of Spades, 4 of Diamonds, 5 of Hearts).
- “Three of a Kind”: 3 cards of the same face value (e.g. K of Diamonds, K of Spades, and K of Hearts).
- “Straight Flush”: 3 cards of the same suit, in sequence (e.g. 3 of Clubs, 4 of Clubs, 5 of Clubs).
- “Suited three of a kind”: 3 cards of the same face value and suit (e.g. 3 As of Spades).
INSURANCE
If the dealer’s first card is an ace, you may buy insurance.
Insurance costs half the value of your initial bet and may be bought for each hand respectively. If insurance is bought and the dealer gets Blackjack, a 2:1 insurance is paid out and the initial bet is lost.
If the dealer does not have Blackjack, then the insurance bet is lost and the initial bet is played as per normal rules.
Hence insurance is an option for minimizing loss as opposed to increasing the chances of higher wins.
EVEN MONEY
Even Money is offered when the player’s initial hand is Blackjack and the dealer’s face-up card is an ace (A).
Even Money protects the player from a push, should the dealer also have Blackjack. If the player accepts Even Money, they are immediately paid out 1:1 for their Blackjack, regardless of the dealer’s hand.
STARTING A NEW ROUND
After concluding a round, you are given the following options via buttons on the game panel:
NEW BET : This returns you to the starting position where you choose bet value per and place bets one hand at the time.
REBET : This allocates the same bet values to each hand as you played in the previous game round. To then place those bets, click DEAL.
REBET AND DEAL : This allocates the same bet values to each hand as you played in the previous game round and directly starts the next round.
DOUBLE AND DEAL : This allocates double the bet values of your previous game round and directly starts the next game round.
PLAYER STRATEGY
The below table outlines possible actions based on the most favourable probability for the player. These are the available actions:
- H = Hit
- S = Stand
- D = Double the bet
- P = Split
On the vertical axis of the table are all the possible hands of the player divided in three main strategies:
- H = Hard. This part of the table displays the accumulated point value of hands containing no aces.
- S = Soft. This part of the table displays the accumulated point value of hands containing one ace and a card numbered from two (2) to nine (9).
- P = Pair. This part of the table displays all the possible hands containing a pair.
On the horizontal axis are all the possible options for the dealer’s visible card. Crossed with the possible hands of the player hand, each combination comes with a strategy of either H, S, D or P. This letter then represents the strategy with the most favourable probability.
