Online BlackJack: (Single Deck)
The Player Hand:
After the cards are dealt the player must play his/her hand first.
The player hand has several options that may vary at different blackjack tables.
These options are indicated in the casino lobby when choosing a game.
Stand:
The player chooses this if he/she wishes to stand with the cards they have.
Hit:
The dealer gives the player another card.
Bust:
Player total goes over 21 and the hand is an automatically a loser.
Double:
Player can choose to take only one hit and double the amount of his/her bet.
This option it may vary in how it is offered. Some tables allow double on any two cards and some allow it only one combination that equals 9, 10 or 11. These options are indicated in our casino lobby. Some tables may even offer a late double that can be played after the player already has 3 cards.
The double option, if played correctly can be very beneficial for the player.
Split:
If the player has two cards of equal value, he/she can choose to split the cards into two hands by doubling the amount of the bet. In this case blackjack is not recognized. Some tables allow player to split multiple times. As with double, if played correctly split can increase player odds significantly.
Some games will not allow to resplit Aces and a lot of games will not allow to hit after splitting Aces. Games that allow you to resplit aces and hit after splitting aces are a big advantage for the player.
Insurance:
If the dealer’s face up card is an Ace players have the option to purchase Insurance.
Insurance generally pays 2:1 and is indicated on the table.
Insurance is like a side bet on whether the dealer has blackjack or not.
If the dealer has blackjack the insurance bet is a winner.
Even Money:
Even money is used when a player is dealt a blackjack and the dealer has a face up Ace. The player can take an Even Money payout of 1:1 instead of the usual 1.5:1 and avoid the risk of the dealer having a blackjack which will result in a push.
Surrender:
If the player is unsatisfied with the first 2 cards and feels the dealer has a much better chance then the player can surrender and only lose half the bet amount.
Surrender is generally a house favorable option.
Push:
Push is when a player equals the total the dealer has.
The player receives his/her bet amount back.
Min bet: displays the minimum bet amount required to play a hand.
Max bet: displays the maximum bet amount allowed to play a hand.
Multi-Hands:
Some Black Jack games allow a player to play multiple hands in the same game.
A player can play either one, two or three hands simultaneously, depending on the game.
These options are indicated in the casino lobby when choosing a game.
Stored Games:
In the event the player looses it’s internet connection or closes his/her browser window, the game in progress will be stored intact and will have his/her game in progress available the next time the game is opened.
