How To Play

After the initial two cards have been dealt, you have the following options:

Hit

Request another card. You can request a hit as many times as you like, but if your total goes over twenty-one, you will Bust and lose the hand.

Stand

If you have two cards of the same denomination, a Split button will appear. You can split the cards into two hands and play each hand separately. Your original bet will be duplicated for the new hand, and each hand will be played out as usual. The number above the currently active hand will turn yellow. The split option can only be used once per hand -- you cannot split part of a split hand.

Double

If you select this option, two things will happen: you will get exactly one more card and then your turn will end, and your bet will be doubled. When you use this option, you are betting more money that you will get a good score with just one more card added to your starting two. This option will only be available immediately after you receive your first two cards.

Insurance

Whenever the dealer's up-card is an ace, the player has an option of taking insurance. If the player believes that the dealer's down-card is a 10 ranking card, then the player is permitted to place a side bet of up to half the original wager as insurance. If the dealer does have a 10 ranking card, the player is immediately paid 2-to-1 on the insurance bet, but the original wager is lost unless the player too have blackjack and tie the dealer. Here player is not insuring anything, the player is simply betting that the dealer's unseen card is a 10 ranking card. This option will only be available immediately after you receive your first two cards.
