The Player can choose to play with up to three initial hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 style=\"border: 0;width: 100%;text-align: left;position: relative;font-family: 'Red Hat Display', sans-serif !important;background-color: #151515;color: #FFD400;margin: 0;padding: 10px 30px;font-size: 26px;font-weight: bold;text-align: center\">HOW TO PLAY<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The player can choose to play up to three initial hands. A bet must be placed for each hand to be played. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two cards will then be dealt to each hand and two to the house. The house\u2019s cards will be dealt with one card face up and one card face down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The total of any hand is the sum of the card values in the hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The player must repeatedly decide which available action to take until the hand is resolved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The player will win when their hand totals higher than the house\u2019s hand (without going bust), or if the player has 21 or less when the house busts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> If the player\u2019s hand is equal to the house\u2019s hand, the player draws. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Payouts are shown in the paytable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"579\" src=\"https:\/\/ontario.casinotime.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2025-06-03-at-4.07.37\u202fPM-1024x579.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9993\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ontario.casinotime.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2025-06-03-at-4.07.37\u202fPM-1024x579.png 1024w, https:\/\/ontario.casinotime.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2025-06-03-at-4.07.37\u202fPM-300x170.png 300w, https:\/\/ontario.casinotime.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2025-06-03-at-4.07.37\u202fPM-768x435.png 768w, https:\/\/ontario.casinotime.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2025-06-03-at-4.07.37\u202fPM-1536x869.png 1536w, https:\/\/ontario.casinotime.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2025-06-03-at-4.07.37\u202fPM-2048x1159.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Player Actions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are 5 possible actions the player can take on their hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Hit<\/strong> &#8211; This deals an extra card to the hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Stand <\/strong>&#8211; This keeps the hand as it is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Double <\/strong>&#8211; This doubles the player\u2019s bet for that hand and deals one extra card to the hand. No further action will be allowed for the hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Split<\/strong> &#8211; The first and second card of the hand are split into two separate hands. A second card is dealt to both hands. A bet equal to the initial hand\u2019s bet will be placed on the newly created hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Surrender<\/strong> &#8211; This discards the hand. Half of the stake for this hand is returned to the player at the end of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Rules<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A hand may only be split as the first action on the hand, and if the initial two cards are of the same rank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A hand may only be split once. It is not possible to split a hand that has already been split once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a hand of two Aces is split, no further action will be allowed for these hands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The player can select double for a hand after a split has been made. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A hand may only be surrendered as the first action on the hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A split hand cannot be surrendered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The house must draw to 16. The house must hit on soft 17. The house must stand on a hard 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A hand with an ace valued as 11 is \u201csoft\u201d, otherwise it is \u201chard\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A hand is considered bust when it exceeds a total hand value of 21.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When only two cards are used to create a hand with a value of exactly 21, this is considered \u2018Blackjack\u2019. This only occurs for the first two cards drawn for a hand, and does not apply to hands which have been split. Hands with a value of 21 automatically stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No hand can contain more than 13 cards. Any hand containing 13 cards that has not bust, automatically stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"98\" data-src=\"https:\/\/ontario.casinotime.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2025-06-03-at-4.08.55\u202fPM-1024x98.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9991 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ontario.casinotime.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2025-06-03-at-4.08.55\u202fPM-1024x98.png 1024w, https:\/\/ontario.casinotime.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2025-06-03-at-4.08.55\u202fPM-300x29.png 300w, https:\/\/ontario.casinotime.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2025-06-03-at-4.08.55\u202fPM-768x74.png 768w, https:\/\/ontario.casinotime.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2025-06-03-at-4.08.55\u202fPM-1536x147.png 1536w, https:\/\/ontario.casinotime.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2025-06-03-at-4.08.55\u202fPM-2048x196.png 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/98;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Insurance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the initial deal, if the house\u2019s face up card is an Ace, the player will be presented with an option to make an Insurance bet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Insurance bet is a bet that the house has a total of 21 exactly with two cards (blackjack).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bet amount for the Insurance bet will always be half of the bet for the current hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The player will be presented with the option to make an insurance bet for each hand in play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Card Values<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Blackjack, the card values are as follows: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A &#8211; can be counted as 1 or 11. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An Ace is counted as 11 if it does not cause the hand value to exceed 21.
